    Eleanor Heppleston replied to the topic Help for High Oxygen User Nasal Pain in the forum Using Our Forums 1 year, 10 months ago

    My husband was having the same problem. His O2 is only at 5l with humidification but he had crusting that was painful. The pharmacist recommended Secaris. It’s a lubricating nasal gel suitable for use with oxygen according to him.  No petroleum listed as an ingredient. My husband says it helped.

    Eleanor Heppleston replied to the topic Resources for PF Caregivers in the forum Caregivers and Spouses 1 year, 11 months ago

    Thanks for posting these resources. I will be taking a look at them. I am currently the caregiver for my husband with IPF. I have been using the private Messenger off Facebook to send 1 message to all family about his condition. It works well as everyone gets the same info and answer to questions.

    Thank you David for the website. I have bookmarked it for future reference. We have chosen to drive from Ontario to Florida rather than fly, (we both do like driving), but this will be great to use for future reference.

    We are taking a needed vacation and need to either fly or drive. My husband has IPF and his respirologist sent him for a ‘fit to fly’ test at the pulmonary lab. They tested his oxygen level at various altitudes. His results were borderline. Rather than dealing with taking oxygen, my husband is not on any as of now, he wants to drive. So we are…[Read more]

    Eleanor Heppleston replied to the topic Insurance Availability for Patients with PF. in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 3 years, 10 months ago

    Hi. We have just looked into travel insurance for my husband with IPF. He was covered at a higher rate, but were told he would not be covered if he was on oxygen. They said it is very difficult to find anyone who will cover a person on oxygen, as they have had calls from people who were searching.

    Thanks Charlene. I am looking forward to learning more about IPF for my husband with the diagnosis, and for me as his care giver.
