Short Bio | I am newly diagnosed with IPF. I am on OFEV. I am here to gain knowledge about this disease and hopeful that by oarticipaing in this form that I will be able to be prepared to ask the right questions at the right time. I am scared. We did not expect this diagnosis. I presented with a a productive cough, sweats, compromised ability to breathe and to sustain my breath. The best that I can see is that there is a very good chance that this came on suddenly during the aftermath of a surgery back in 2014 when my Blood oxygen plummeted to 74 or less after surgery. They did many tests at that time but it was not detected then. I am 67. |
