Short Bio

I.was diagnosed with IPF about four years ago.   I’m on Supplemental Oxygen 24/7  but no other treatment other than supplements and Chinese Herbs.   None has been offered.  My biggest problem is fatigue and nausea.   I find any exercise exhausting but still keep trying.   I have followed your forum for a while and just hope I can join in!       Many thanks
