I have throat clearing and post nasal drip when vertical. So far I have tried allergy medicine but it is not helping. I would like to know what allergy medicine the rest of you take if you take allergy medicine.

I really want to get my Portable Concentrator when I get it I’m planning a trip to see fall foliage. Living in Houston we don’t get much fall weather and I miss seeing the fall colors. Planning the trip takes my mind away from oxygen levels, coughing, the general everyday problems. I love finding bargains, and planning trips. I know it is going to be more complicated now that I am dealing with IPF but it does give me something to look forward to and keeps me busy. I hope you have a great trip to Hawaii. My brother has gone to Hawaii several times and loves the islands.

I read somewhere that staying hydrated was important and that the window seat was the best.

I have not started an exercise routine yet. Number one reason is I am still recovering from a hospital stay. I am doing some physical therapy and I am gaining some stamina. I plan to start walking as soon as I get a portable oxygen concentrator.

She has a walker that has a place in the seat to store items for example purse, POC, and any other items that fits. She eliminates multiple trips and has the support of the walker that keeps her from becoming exhausted.

MemberApril 28, 2019 at 10:48 am in reply to: Living With Pets & PF: What Does Your Doctor Say?My doctor told me to stay away from kids. However, he never said anything about pets. I have two cats and they keep me cheerful. I do make sure that my house is vacuumed and floors and furniture dusted. I live in area with bad air quality and believe staying inside with my cats is less hazardous than being outside.

I believe the sitting next to the window advice is that you have the wall and one other person. The other seats put you in contact with more people. The aisle seat would probably expose you to the most people.
