Hello Charlene, unfortunately I also can relate to this, I am 47 years old, was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis 3 years ago. Just 4 days ago while at work I thought I had heartburn, trying not to make a big deal of it, but I hardly ever get heartburn and it really hurt, so fast forward, after a few hours of working, I end up in ER with a collapse lung caused from coughing to hard! Ughhhh I hate this disease

Although I do not have any tips, I would just like to respond… This is So True! I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis 3 years ago. Was very fatigued but not on oxygen yet, tried to get disability but was denied because they said I could find an easier job☹️?. I am currently still working full time, but often call in sick probably once every other week, the weekends I Must get rest just to try an make it a full week at work! PF Sucks! I am only 47 years old, I used to be so active in my kids/family life! Now it is frowned upon when I sleep my weekends away?. Thanks for posting, I feel so alone with this disease, it’s so hard for others to understand because I look so healthy!
