This is a really good discussion topic to start Patricia, thank you for bringing it up! I am still on the pre-transplant side of things, so I don’t have too much to offer about the final listing process. I’ll tag a few folks below who I know have had a transplant, and let’s see if they have any suggestions to share with you.…[Read more]

Hi Paula
Read your comments with interest as I have just experienced a reaction to Esbriet. Have only been on it since Jan this year and up to now no problems. Rash appeared on neck, arms, face and upper chest. Have always applied sunblock as directed so don’t know where this came from. Doctor gave me some cream and tablets to…[Read more]

Hi @ed-caraher, oh I am so sorry to hear of this experience that you’re having with Ofev after being on it for so long. That is terrible, and must make the day-to-day living so tough …
The only “good” news I have to share is that you’re not alone. I know several folks on this forum who ended up not being able to take Ofev due to suddenly…[Read more]

Thanks very much for your quick and informative reply, Charlene. I will ask the doctor about reducing the dosage or quitting the drug altogether today if he is available. As well, keep watching this forum for any updates.
You are very gracious.

Hi @ed-caraher, I really hope the conversation with the Dr. goes well.

I hope that is an option for you, or stopping it for a short window of time to let your system (and you) catch a…[Read more]
