Best advice for PF symptom management

Video recording our visits have been EXTREMELY helpful for me to repeat the doctors recommendations EXACTLY to my dad. He is increasingly forgetful or in shock/denial. So when I “Jump his Case” or need to explain the necessity for a test, I will replay video to him.

Are you currently taking an anti-fibrotic medication?
