My pulmonologist agreed to increase my gabapentin from my former dose of 100 mg 3x/day since that wasn’t stopping my cough, but to do so step-wise. She increased it to 300 mg 2x/day beginning the day before yesterday for 2 weeks and then going to 300 mg 3x/week after that. I already have had a positive effect. While my cough is not […] View

      Hello David, thank you for sharing. Glad the Gabapentin is working for you. Good luck at the Cleveland Clinic. I live in Cleveland and received my lung transplant at the clinic in 2015. Keep in touch. Mark

    David Maddox replied to the topic Gabapentin For IPF-Related Cough? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 9 months ago

    I went to an ENT doc for my cough (dry) and he prescribed 100 mg Gabapentin three times/day to help with the cough. I’ve had little or no reduction and it drives me crazy (hard to talk very long with anyone and had to drop out of church choir and barbershop chorus). From the responses above it seems like it might be good to try increasing the dose…[Read more]

    December 31st I decided to keep my 2018 New Year’s resolution so I went to the gym and worked out (stationary bike for a “mile” and worked on the weight/strength machines). It felt great to work out again and have been going 2-3 times/week ever since. I now do the stationary bike for 3 miles with varying resistance, increasing to the maximum…[Read more]

      Hi David,

      Thanks so much for getting in touch with us and sharing a bit about your exercise regimen. Kudos to you – I know this isn’t easy with IPF, but so important to try and maintain your lung function. Well done! I do think trying a recumbent bike will be good for me, so I am trying to buy one used to keep in my basement with the treadmill. I…[Read more]

    David Maddox replied to the topic Merits for Singing in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 4 years ago

    I’m glad to see that others have positive benefits of singing. As a singer I routinely experience good feelings as we produce fun and often inspiring music and we are taught breathing techniques that allow us to make better use of our lungs. Looks like that carries over even after we develop Pulmonary Fibrosis. On August 21st I will repeat a…[Read more]

    Note to Bill regarding singing. I am not currently on O2 for my iPF but like you I am a singer (Barbershop Chorus, church choir). I run out of breath with only moderate exercise but still feel great singing. No clue what my O2 levels are with exercise or singing but I’m happy to see your experience.
