Short Bio | I was diagnosed with IPF almost 6 years ago after having a chronic cough for 5 years which I had attributed to allergies. Subsequently, I was diagnosed with silent reflux, which my pulmonologist believes may be the cause of my fibrosis. I have been stable and am currently not on any IPF meds and just take Prilosec twice daily. |
