    James Burns replied to the topic Do others with IPF cough for 20 minutes every morning? in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    Thank you all for commenting with suggestions and confirming that it is normal with IPF.  I was diagnosed in 2018 and it has now progressed to the point of full evaluation at Duke in early December to prepare for lung transplant sometime next year.

    I find coughing spells every morning are part of my daily life, but not at night.  I am sleeping w…[Read more]

    Thanks for all the replies.  I guess I am not alone with the morning issues.  I am on benzanotate (Tessalon perles)  but they do not seem to be effective. I will certainly try cough drops as suggested and I guess it is just part of the condition and not indicative of further damage.

    I am on OFEV and my testing has been relatively steady the last 2 years, very little decline on PFT.  I can tolerate OFEV with immodium, although it is not great on the stomach.  I am on oxygen at night, but otherwise only during exercise.  I am at about 50% lung capacity so still too early for transplant.  My main issues are coughing up phl…[Read more]
