Best advice for PF symptom management | Take control of your own health. As a caregiver to my aunt with late stage IPF I have learned that following every directive your doctor tells you is often a huge mistake. That don’t ever address lifestyle, especially dietary, changes. Constantly upping oxygen and pushing prednisone like it’s the cure all has sent my aunt into a rapid decline over the past 5 years. |
