Short Bio | My father was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2009. He was able to live a fairly normal life until 2019 when he was hospitalized with a flare up. He regressed over the next two years until passing away in December of 2021. I signed up on discovering my Dad had posted on these forums, and hope I can share his and my families experiences to help others who are dealing with this disease. |
