    Dale Darling replied to the topic Flash Briefing: IPF Patients Switching to Esbriet to Ofev Stopping Treatments, Possibly Due to Low BMI in the forum Flash Briefings & Podcasts 3 years, 1 month ago

    Just thought I would chime for a minute about Esbriet, I have been on it for about 10 months now. Only side effect I have experienced is weight loss and then appetite loss recently. When going to the Doctor for a check up he said to try and cut back too 6 tablets instead of 9 per day (267mg each). When I cut back my appetite returned right away. …[Read more]

    Dale Darling replied to the topic Tips for Carrying Multiple Items as a Patient with PF. in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 years, 1 month ago

    I find a little comfort in carrying a can called BOOST Oxygen when I use my POC which only goes to 5L Liter when I am walking to much. My Doctor says I need 6L and 8L if exercising. It not a cure, but it is 95 percent pure oxygen that a lot of pilots and athletic people use if then need quick blast of oxygen too help them. I have been caught…[Read more]

      Great news about your portable oxygen concentrator (POC) Dale! Which one did you get? I find my POC really helpful as well, just a bit heavy for my liking. I wish it was a little lighter! Pulmonary rehab was really helpful for me, so if you get the chance to do it and you feel like you can manage it, I’d definitely recommend it. Find out more…[Read more]

      Hi @dale-darling, great to hear from you – thanks for writing!
      No worries about the slow reply at all, I totally get it and just am hopeful that things are going well for you. I’ve heard the sleep tests are terrible due to all the electrodes placed on you. Did you have those? Hope your appointment at the UofM went well, and that is EXCELLENT news…[Read more]

      Hi @dale-darling,

      Thanks for getting in touch, it is great to hear from you! I appreciate everyone’s thoughts on what could be causing the sneezing discomfort – it is so unusual for me. Thankfully, it is a bit less now (although still present) so I am wondering if I was fighting something off when it was at its worst? It could have been something…[Read more]

    This is a tough site to log- in too. It says I have no user address listed, but yet it sends me notices daily. I can log- in with Facebook, but that’s not the same address that I’m getting my email at. When I have time I would like to jump once in while but can stand the frustration at times. What is the best solution. Thanks Dale D.

    I’m still working, I have had PF for at least 5 1/2 years. My job is where I can set down at a desk quite a bit when needed. I have gotten a little worse over the last 6 mo. and have a oxygen concentrator at home I use in most evening now. But what I wanted to add was that I sleep with the concentrator and usually sleep pretty well most of the…[Read more]
