Short Bio | First suggested something was wrong, appox. 10/2019 had two different types of CT Scans could not get them to verify I had IPF. At this time I felt fine. By March my pulmonary doctor was getting me more worried. Wanted me to go on Ofev, my insurance denied. Finally by May 2019 I began taking Ofev. Saw Doctor again in June let him know I was noticing more of a decline in my breathing & activity. Big difference in o2 levels from 12/18/19 – 6/2019. Suggest going to see another specialist at.
