Best advice for PF symptom management

See your respirologist and get referred to a transplant clinic ASAP, at least to be screened, evaluated and even listed if required. Join a local IPF/PF support group…and if there isn’t one…form one. You will be surprised what you will get out of it…I run one in my house with 8 active couples and 5 inactive ones.

Are you currently taking an anti-fibrotic medication?

no
