Short Bio

Only diagnosed 12 months ago with IPF. Consultants give me 3 to 5 years of life expectancy. I’m still quite active and fit. I am on OFEV tablets. I suffer from night sweats and have lost Half-stone in weight over the last 3 months – I think mainly due to the OFEV tablets as they seem to reduce my appetite.
