    I was on 2100+ mg for multiple lower back issues for quite some time and I was having too much brain fog along with long term Covid brain fog, so at some point I couldn’t recall names easily. I’ve cut my gabapentin down to 1200 using a schedule chart for reduction. Your Dr should be able to provide you with a reduction schedule that’s safe for your condition.

    Wesley,

    Thank you for providing the zoom meeting. It was the first interactive event on IPF that I ever attended and I really enjoyed it.  Hope to see more. Could you please provide me with the link?

    Regards

    @rebecca

    Hello,

    I also developed mild PF after a hospital bout with Covid and Pneumonia in March of this year. A cat scan from the hospital confirmed this.  My pulmonary Doctor has tested my Lung capacity three times now and for each time the results were good (according to him).  He doesn’t  want to put me on any meds at this time! My latest cat scan this month (July) showed I still have Pneumonia, ground glass opacity(whatever that means)  but no PF.  When I asked the Pulmonary Doctor about no PF on the cat scan he brought up my scan, zoomed in on an area and quickly showed me an area that appeared white and said I have PF.  Has anyone experienced this descrepancy and what should I do?  I don’t have any coughing but I do get out of breath if I start doing moderate activities and I am regularly fatigued.

    Regards John
