Hi Thom,
Thanks for writing to us. Yes, the discussion on laser therapy has seemed to die down a little bit. I haven’t tried this myself yet, so unfortunately I can’t offer any personal insights but I think John ( @caneelbay) and @marshaharris can provide you with their experiences into laser and whether or not they are still seeking this…[Read more]

Hello my friend!
So nice to hear from you, thanks for writing to us about this topic. That said, I’m really sorry to hear of your experience with that first Pulmonologist when you asked about Ofev and Esbriet…. my jaw dropped!

Hi Jennifer,
No problem – I know it is not really a forum that any of us want to be on, as I wish for nothing more than a cure for this cruel disease. I’m sorry to hear about your father’s diagnosis. Dr. Hall is great and has been very kind in sharing information with this forum about laser therapy. I haven’t tried it, but a few folks on here…[Read more]

@marshaharris, Thank you for your reply. I currently have a message in to my pneumologist asking about laser therapy. Just wondering, is anyone taking laser 4 treatment in the area of Greensboro or Winston Salem, NC? I’m know that chiropractic offices in these cities have these lasers, but can’t find any mention of using them for fibr…[Read more]

Hi Linda,
Great questions! I am hoping @drandyhall may be able to help answer some of your questions here, or maybe @marshaharris? Both are experienced in using laser therapy and may be able to help better than I can regarding insurance covering it and the payment process as Canadian healthcare is very different. Hopefully they can help 🙂
Kind…[Read more]

I will stay there with you @marshaharris! Australia is such a beautiful country, and their amazing coffee is just one of the perks of being there. Ah, wouldn’t that be amazing if we could actually go and have coffee on the beach. Are you a beach lover?
This is one of my favourite spots among the northern beaches of Sydney! Isn’t it…[Read more]

Hi @marshaharris,
So nice to hear from you, thanks so much for contributing your thoughts to this topic! You know?

Hello @marshaharris,
So nice to hear from you! I was wondering if you’d been offline because you’d been trying laser. I am so glad you found some support for this, and have been through a couple of treatments 🙂 I am so glad you’re also comfortable with the Dr. and his team, I think that is so important. It gave me goosebumps that you alluded to…[Read more]
