Short Bio

Diagnosed with IPF in early 2016, after several years of symptoms which were attributed to bronchiectasie.  I am very lucky in that the evolution of my fibrosis is slow, and I have not required any oxygen for normal daily living. In the summer of 2016 I took part in a clinical trial which involved simultaneous treatment with OFEV and ESBRIET at normal doses for about 2 months, following which I continued with OFEV until the present time.
