Short Bio

I’m 77and live in Wilmington,Delaware.  I was diagnosed last spring. So far I’m not on any medications for IPF, but I do have Ofev. I have been afraid to take it as I have IBS and problems with diarrhea. On April 14, I’m to to Temple lung center in Philadelphia.  I’m on oxygen at night and do fine most days. I walk Toby my Cavalier King Charles 3 times a day and do my own house keeping. I feel Ofev would ruin my quality of life right now.
