    Greg Ford replied to the topic Diet, alternative treatments/ healing in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    The side effects I had with Esbriet were spells of diarrhea and a complete lack of energy.  I also do a lot of gardening and try to spend a lot of time outdoors.  The fear of a reaction from the sun with Esbriet had me slathering myself with sunscreen a couple of times a day.  I started researching the benefits shown in the Esbriet trials in th…[Read more]

    Take a look at IQ air.  They have several that fit various rooms.   I have IPF and allergies.  Long before diagnosed with IPF, to control my allergies at night I put an IQ air purifier in my bedroom.  Noticed an allergy difference within a week.  Replacement filters are pricy but are only needed about once a year.  Have had mine for 4 or more y…[Read more]

    Greg Ford started the topic Blood pressure and Esbriet in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 4 months ago

    I am a newly diagnosed 64 year old IPF patient who was first diagnosed in early August 2020 and who started Esbriet on Aug 19th.  Prior to my diagnosis I had noticed a shortness of breath and coughing.  Before proceeding to a pulmonologist I first went to a cardiologist to see if my issues were heart related.  My heart was okay but I did have a sl…[Read more]
