    I have a pulse system that I’m not sure I like. Stupid me never contacted my doctor about having an oxygen unit. Our family had planned a trip to Disneyland so I jumped the gun and called Imogen. Now that I’ve had it almost a year I just get along with it

    thank all of you for your information

    I was diagnosed in June of 2021 after having infectious pneumonia. The doctors had nothing to offer as to what kind of infection I had.  Was it triggered by a R A infusion or COVID-19 they suggested.  I still don’t know. Next week I have testing. I don’t understand what for.  I am 67 have new grandkids and a busy life with a wonderful husband of 40 years.  I’m so scared. Anyone have comforting information as to what I should expect.   Thank you so much.

    Hi Michael

    i was diagnosed with IPF and I told my oldest son right away. I told him what it was and the eventual outcome, but- I also assured him that I was strong and medical science is always changing and there might be a cure or medications to halt the fibrosis hopefully in the near future.   He understood and he and his kids spend a lot of time with us.   Please tell them soon so they can process it and accept it.  Stay strong and keep the faith.
