    Marilyn Cellucci replied to the topic Side effects of exposure to the sun in the forum Esbriet (Pirfenidone) 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    Dear Donald,

    Have you found that the side effects of Ofev diminish over time? I have recently started on it and cramping is bad, no diarrhea so far which surprises me since I have the cramping.

    Thank you.

    Marilyn Cellucci replied to the topic Cost of Ofev in the forum Ofev (Nintedanib) 4 months ago

    Hi Karen,

    I am just starting Ofev. I was sure I would be turned down by Medicare/drug program and then have to appeal. I was pleasantly surprised. My insurance company approved it right away! I must have a great Medicare plan. I am so fortunate. I just pay a $30 co-pay each month.

    Another drug that I am on though, my insurance turned it down. It…[Read more]

    Dear Pete,

    Why on occasion do you bump up the prednisone, stress, illness, ? Does your doctor go along with this? I am just curious. I have been on prednisone 7.5 mg for a year, I think.       Thank you, Corgilover1

    Dear Christie,

    I have had two fundoplication surgery, a year apart, back in 2017 and 2018. I had them not because of GERD, (I don’t think I had GERD at the time), but rather because I had a giant paraesophageal hernia, an 8cm hole and the first surgery took 8 hours, and the second, nine hours, but the surgeon took three  half hour breaks during…[Read more]

    Sue,

    I have been on it for some time now. I have had no problems with it at all. I think we all react to the drugs a little different sometimes.

    Charlene and David,

    Why wait until the FVC is 80. Why aren’t the drugs started when your lung function is better?

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

    Regina,

    I don’t have all of the classic symptoms of IPF, many odd ones. My pulmonologist thought that doing a biopsy would not be worth it since the biopsy would be atypical and not show anything useful. It is a mute point for me since I am being treated as though I have IPF anyway.

    My PFT’s have improved while on prednisone. I go in December for more PFTs. I’ll let you know now that my dose has been lowered.

    Hi Mark,

    I had started on a 40mg tapering dose. At the 40mg and 30mg dose, I had no dry, tacky cough, no post nasal drip, and no phlegm in my throat, it was wonderful. At 20mg my cough returned, although not bad and only a few times a day. Now that I am on 10mg (will be there for at least a year, unless I have an exacerbation), the post nasal…[Read more]

    Hi Jerry,

    I am on a tapering dose of prednisone. When I was on 40mg, I had no dry, tacky cough, no post-nasal drip and no thick mucous in my throat. Everything was still fine when I dropped to 30mg. But when I dropped to 20mg, I started coughing again, but nowhere near as bad as it used to be, but I still coughed. My post-nasal drip came back and…[Read more]

    Hi,

    I have severe GI problems in addition to my IPF. Starting at about last Christmas, I started losing weight, unintended. I lost over 40 pounds in less than six months. My GI doctor thought I had a malignancy and was tested with everything. No malignancy was found. So he is dumfounded as to why I am losing weight. I mentioned to him my lung…[Read more]

    Where did you have the stem cell procedure done in Pittsburgh? Were you satisfied with the results and the procedure itself?

    Thanks very much.

    I have a question for those of us who are on long-term, high dose prednisone.
    I have developed the side effect of blurry eyes. I do have an appointment later in the month with my eye doctor to be checked out. I am worried about getting glaucoma or cataracts (but I have already had cataract surgery). Can I get them again? What are others…[Read more]
