Short Bio

Very active physically, I was diagnosed with IPF after 4 months of inability to breathe properly when doing strenuous activity.  This was a monumental shock to me, as 6 months prior to my symptoms I was able to do physical activity for long durations.  In October of last year, I noticed a significant decrease in my ability to sustain aerobic exercises. On New Years Eve the diagnosis came back as ILD and was confirmed by Mayo Clinic a month mater as IPF.  Will begin taking Ofev on 6/1/20. Anxious about it
