Best advice for PF symptom management

I would like to know how many other people got pulmonary fibrosis as a result of taking Amiodarone.  There is a huge class action lawsuit against the manufacturer in the U.S. but I can’t join it because I’m Canadian.

Question for Charlene and others:  who were you able to buy out of country health insurance from in order to travel to the U.S.?  I haven’t been able to find a company in Canada that will cover me.  Thanks!

How did you find us?
