    I’m an 83 year old female who was diagnosed with IPF in 2008 and was given 2-5 years. Surprise!!!  Here I am still kicking. I have slowed down this past year and have had some progression and have to decide whether I want to go on Ofev.  I’ll probably try it but if the side effects make me too sick I’ll just take my chances.  I still feel fine just can’t do the things I could do a year ago. I have a cough and I’m on oxygen 24/7.   Once Covid is over  I plan to get out and get active again. Oxygen makes it possible to stay active for me. Stay positive!!!!
