Short Bio

78 year old man.  Quite active.  Diagnosed with IPF in March, 2022.   Forced air is 60 to 68% of capacity.  Have had trouble with mucus congestion and phlegm since age 28.  Have taken Mucinex for years – 1200 mg extended twice a day.

Recently put on Ofev.  Interestingly, once I started on Ofev the mucus/phlegm problem cleared up and most days I do not have to take Mucinex.  Has anyone ever heard of Ofev curing mucus/phlegm problem?
