I am in the same boat as William Kracke. My first year on it ran out last month and it took my Doc sending in the info to Express scripts X3 before they accepted and approved it. Plus every month I have to call in to refill it, so they have proof of life before they send out another 30 days, all my other meds from them are on a 90 day auto refill.

I’ve been doing the three that came out in a Chinese paper from last year, two of them are Yoga-like stretches and have really seemed to help me. Only takes a few minutes a day and I use a 3lb weight now with A & B. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34353031/

Two weeks to the day of getting the Pizer booster & Flu shot, my wife( her booster was a week later) and I both tested positive and had no symptoms for 3 days. We were exposed by 15 month family member, 2- 4 days pre-test.
Esbriet is the only IPF associated drug I am taking other than 2 lpm O2 at night and with excursion. Our GP got us the monoclonal anti-bodies infusion 6 days in and the following day I had what most would call”Flu” like symptoms with a 99f fever that lasted only 3 hours after taking Tylenol. The whole time all I had was a runny nose and our SPO2 stayed above 95 on room air. Wife also had very light “flu symptoms” but with head ache & head pressure with 100 temp for 3 days. Today is the 12th day since testing positive and we have both been normal for the last 5 days. My advice from Pulmonologist was “I should be fine being fully Vax’d, but to stay up and about and practice breathing exercises and contact him if SPO2 dropped”. I fully believe the vax kept us from having a worse illness. While we were getting the anti-bodies infusion our nurse stated that if we had been immunecompromised we could have gotten it without being COVID positive.
