Short Bio

Just recently diagnosed with IPF. About to start Ofev.

Retired last year. Final 8 years as an RN was as a pulmonary rehab RN, so I am familiar with this disease, unfortunately.

I golf 3 times/ week and was playing softball. Difficulty running the bases is what had me seek medical care and subsequent diagnosis.
