Short Bio

I was diagnosed with IPF in November 2019 and am being treated with Pirfenidone.  My liver is suffering at times so I have to have regular breaks off medication!  I am on a break at the moment and taking steroids for the first time.
I am going for an Oxygen test next week to see if I need oxygen supplements, my lung function keeps dropping.
