    Nan replied to the topic Eliminating Processed Sugars from your Diet in the forum Healthy Recipe Sharing 2 years, 9 months ago

    Terry thanks for the recommendation. I watched the movie today. It was good, love the Aussie accents lol. I have not been doing good. In my captivity ( AKA self isolation) I have been ordering bad food, baking with sugars etc. I have gained weight, and don’t feel as good as I should. I have to get back on board. I have started baking sour dough…[Read more]

    Nan replied to the topic Coronavirus Lockdown in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 2 years, 10 months ago

    My son told me that is China they were not allowed out without permission. They were allowed to go to grocery store every 3 days but only one at a time and the stores were monitored to not have crowds. They are lifted now, they can come and go as they like. He is still teaching online as schools not open yet. Here in Ontario Canada many many…[Read more]

    How is everyone doing with this? Me, not so good. I did not have any weight to loose but in the past 2 weeks I have been eating a lot of sugary treats and white flour and i have gained 3 pounds, now i need to loose weight as that put me in the over weight category. I really need to get on board. I have done intermittent fasting and low carb and i…[Read more]

    Hi Barry, thanks I am picking up tonic water today :). I have had PFTs a few times, the last time a decline was told my lungs are shrinking. Signs of restrictive lung disease they say.

    I emailed the centre and told them waiting 4 months for a CT is torture, will see what they say.

    Thanks everyone

    Susan so glad appointment went well, we have enough anxiety in this life without doctors causing more.

    I have so many cramps in my chest mostly. I talked to my doctor today and she had no suggestions. She did hear my cough though, i have 2 doctors in the last week hear my cough and say “that sounds horrible and like an ILD cough”. She gave me…[Read more]

    Nan replied to the topic The Relationship Between PAH & Pulmonary Fibrosis in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 12 months ago

    There seems to be different opinions in the medical field. I watched the videos from the PFF sumit and they talked about not letting sats and HR fluctuate too much as it can lead to PAH. Last week I had my first appointment at a Large centre ILD clinic. Upon going there all i knew was I had radiation induced PF but mild yet I have a lot of…[Read more]

    Hi Charlene, when I was in China in 2018 so many people there were wearing masks, it is a fashion statement. You can go into stores and buy all kinds of colours and designs, I can get my son to bring you some :). He is coming to visit but he is no where near the area with the infection. My son and his wife live in the far north. They will be going…[Read more]

    Susan, that sucks and I feel for you, glad you at least have this online community to connect with. Seems me and you have a lot in common. I had a GP before, for 25 years, he was such a grump. He told me to come back in 2 weeks, then I did and he then asks why I am bothering him, ugh. We don’t have much choice in our docs here, I was able to…[Read more]

    Hi Susan, I was thinking of you at 3 a.m. when i woke up with muscle cramps in my chest. They use to think that cramps/spasms/Charlie horses where because of dehydration, they no longer think that. They really don’t know the cause but magnesium has been implicated. The problem with magnesium is we don’t absorb it well that is why it is used as a…[Read more]

No one I have asked knows the answer so maybe here we will get more suggestions. All…[Read more]

    I am awake every night every one to two hours with night sweats. I thought is was menopause. It has been going on for 3.5 years. I have not had a good night sleep in the time. When are they going to stop? if it is compounded by PF i may never get away from it? Not a pleasant thought. I feel for you. It is January and i run the air conditioning in…[Read more]
