Short Bio

Diag with IPF November 2020. Short of breath for 8 yrs.  have seen 4 doctors, Internal Med, ENT, Pulmonologist, Cardiologist.  Diag was iron deficient anemia, gave me 2 units of blood. Still SOB. IPF never showed up.  I moved to new area, saw Internist he didn’t like the way my lungs sounded.  Sent for CT and IPF.  Have had all tests with pulmonologist and I’m waiting for my OFEV to be delivered today.  Afraid of Diag.  Mild to moderate  stage.  Am wondering how I will do with OFEV. Have researched it thoroughly.  Have food ready for my new diet until I see how I respond to med.  so glad I found this sight.  Looking to forward to see all your comments.
