Short Bio

I have been in agriculture my entire career and am now retired after having a family greenhouse business the past 30 years.  About 3 years ago I developed a cough that wouldn’t go away.  It took more than a year to get a good diagnosis that it was IPF. Last year it was determined that I also have arterial hypertension. I’m on my 3rd year of OFEV 100mg and Tyvaso since Jan. 2021. On O2 24/7, 8L during the day and 6L at night using a concentrator.
