    Peg replied to the topic Prednisone in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 months ago

    After being very sick and put on oxygen 24/7 I’ve had several series of prednisone and antibiotics. Always feel good while on them but not so good when done. Doctor is just putting me on 10mg per day to see if that will maintain feeling good and I’m hoping this works. Good to hear that it’s worked for you.

    Peg replied to the topic Way to handle side effect nausea in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 years, 9 months ago

    I have been taking OFEV for 18 months now and had all of the awful side effects too.  Lost a lot of weight and diarrhea, vomiting and nausea.  I put up with it until a month ago and asked my doctor to change me to the 100 mg pills.  What a difference.  I feel so much better, have gained some weight back and no diarrhea or vomiting.  I still some…[Read more]
