Short Bio | Diagnosed with IPF March 2017. Approved for OFEV in August & started @ 100 mg August 25th 2017. Following dosage increase to 150 mg twice daily OFEV was not well tolerated. after 2 1/2 years of stopping & restarting OFEV, I had to stop permanently. Going to my Fourth Pulmonary specialist since being diagnosed. |
Type of Pulmonary Fibrosis? | IPF |
How long have you or the person that you are caring for had PF? | Testing for IPF began in the last quarter of 2016 however as early as February 2009 Radiologist documentation of numerous chest xrays & abdominal CT scans specifically suggested i should be evaluated for IPF. Over the next few years these reports claimed increased worsening of IPF by the radiologists. all of the results were made available to all of my health care providers throughout all the years i was a patient including 3 Cardiologists, 3 Endocrinologists & 2 Primary care physicians. I can not understand why it took so long for all of these medical professionals to miss this critical information for the 7 years the radiologist has been putting in every report. |
