Short Bio

Hello Everyone, Diagnosed in 2014 with PF. Finally after a few years they have diagnosed it as NSIP. I have been working since diagnosis but had to change my career due to inhaling of particles, chemicals and the physical demand of the job. I am now driving buses, but as of a month ago, been off work due to excessive breathlessness and fatigue. Coughing is an issue so they have put me on Hydrocodone as well. We will see where we go from here!
