Short Bio

I was diagnosed with COPD & PULMONARY FIBROSIS yesterday by my PCP.  I am in shock right now, as I’m sure everyone here is/was at one time.  I’ve already scheduled an appointment with a Pulmonologist.  I was also diagnosed with a Mitral Valve Prolapse 30+ years ago, IBS, a Herniated Esophagus and shortness of breath.  I now know, why I’ve been having an excess of mucus, being all related to Pulmonary Fibrosis, who would have ever thought.  I’ve started taking a regimen of Omeprazole to ease the discomfort of my Herniated Esophagus.
