    john styles replied to the topic Need better diagnostic info in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 weeks, 2 days ago

    You need to take control of your medical situation. Always get copy’s of reports like breathing tests and cat scans. Read the cat scan, a diagnosis can be made from the cat scan. Get a second opinion from a pulmonologist that specializes in PF. This disease sneaks up on you, doing fine for the day, week, month, year and then deterioration and then…[Read more]

    Sorry you missed the heads up.  There are a lot of different forms of Pulmonary Fibrosis and most if not all forms gradually decrease the lung volume, in 2017 I was swimming and then could not get enough oxygen while snorkeling in area I normally snorkel and had snorkeled the previous 10 years and very near drown. Talking to another member who…[Read more]

    I suspect that more people who drown are just starting out with our disease, weather they are aware they have the disease or not.  In 2017 I was newer to the disease and did not understand the slow nature of the progression PF.  Consequently while snorkeling in the Caribbean I almost drown in area that should not have bothered me, lucky for me m…[Read more]

    john styles replied to the topic BEFORE YOU START ON OXYGEN in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 1 month ago

    Last I read Medicare requires the provider to supply oxygen for 5 years of oxygen but only pays for 3 years and then the supplier must supply the oxygen machine and supplies at their own cost. The 5 years starts over if their is still a need for oxygen and the recipient can change suppliers.  Sounds like Medicare does not have faith that we…[Read more]

    As the ling disease progresses the need for oxygen increases and so do the effectiveness of the machines available. I have found the pulse machines wor fine at night, we still breath when we sleep so the machine detects the breath. As far as noise I have found running a 25 or 50 foot canula putting the machine in a different room with a closed or…[Read more]

    john styles replied to the topic Biopsy… yes or no? in the forum Upcoming Medical Appointments: Q&As 6 months, 1 week ago

    I say no, first if the ct scan is read by a radioligist who specializes in lung disease the biopsy is usually not needed. A lung biopsy can turn into a thoracodomy ( a real nightmare ) when there is plural disease around the lungs not picked up on the ct scan. A world class lung doctor told me after the biopsy when reviewing my records that he…[Read more]

    When I get a pft testit includes with and without albuterol, there is a small inprovement with albuterol on the test but in real time I do not feel the inprovement. If we look at the pft test it shows before and after.

    It is real easy to get the third shot, just walk into Walgreens or CVS or stop  into the grocery store, most ask some questions and some do not.  Immunity wears off at about 5 months. Watch the data from Israel, evan Fauci is impressed with the data. Good luck and belly up and get a shot.

    I watch what is going on in Israel, they made a deal with Pfizer to share all their data, seems the immunity wears off at about 5 months so I got a booster, easy to do, just go to a drug store and answer some questions and they give you the booster.  I got real sick last month and thought I had covid but it was a upper raspatory infection and…[Read more]
