I am new to this group from India . When I was gasping for breath in Chicago with oxygen level dropping to 59  and admitted in Hospital for 10 days . With all the tests the team of doctors could not come to a conclusion . I was under Oxygen for 24 hours in the hospital and traveled with Inogen 5 by road from Chicago to McLean with a stopover in a Hotel in Cleveland . For 4 weeks at home , I was using oxygen for 24hours , slowly reduced the hours  and after 8 weeks completely off from Oxygen . After returning to India (Bangalore ) checked with a Pulmonalogist  and a HRCT was taken .

I am declared as suffering from IPF and Doc suggested me to take OFV 150 mg for a month and then have the liver Function test . I have completed 15 days and so far no adverse side effects .

I am off from my favorite single Malt ( weekends ) for the past two months .

My question to the seniors in this Forum , how long I should take Ofv ? Have I to be completely off from my week end pleasure of two pegs of single Malt ?

I am doing my 10,000 steps walk , one hour yoga of course with reduced speed than normal . Also Pranayama for  30 minutes .

I do not mind about seeing the end of the road in my life , but till I am there , I want to enjoy my life
