    Patricia Meadows replied to the topic How coughing has affected my singing voice in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 months ago

    Hi Allan.  Such a pity that something you enjoy (singing) plus something that we need in our everyday life (speaking) is affected so much.  I took a short course in voice acting a few years ago.  The instructor said that eating a Granny Smith (or probably any) apply seemed to help people avoid clearing their throat or coughing.  Just a piece of…[Read more]

    Patricia Meadows replied to the topic Wrestling with the End Stage of Pulmonary Fibrosis in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 9 months, 3 weeks ago

    Our support group asked the organizer to have someone come in to speak to us about what it is like to die from PF.  We were fortunate to have the head of palliative care in our province (Alberta) address us.  It was one of the best-attended meetings we’ve ever had.  Despite the fact that talking about death is difficult and uncomfortable for ma…[Read more]

    Patricia Meadows replied to the topic Help for High Oxygen User Nasal Pain in the forum Using Our Forums 1 year, 7 months ago

    I would have replied sooner but just now saw your post. When I was first diagnosed with PF my nostrils were over half full of dry scabs which only added to the stress of finding it hard to breathe. My doctor sent me to a wound clinic where the nurse said (off the record) that I could pick off the scabs, then smear Vaseline in my nostrils.…[Read more]

    Patricia Meadows replied to the topic 5/26/21 in the forum Wednesday Wins 1 year, 8 months ago

    Congratulations, Christie! I’ve let my fitness slip since COVID hit. Prior to that, I’d been going to the gym 5 to 6 times per week for over 27 years.

    My small win was not having any wine or beer for three days this past week. I’m not a heavy drinker, but usually have a glass of wine with lunch or dinner every day, or a beer when it’s warm.…[Read more]

    Patricia Meadows replied to the topic How does taking Prednisone help IPF patients in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Ron.

    Funny you mentioned scrapes and cuts becoming infected.  I haven’t had any infections, BUT I’ve found that wounds heal much more slowly in the last seven years, including the last three since I’ve been off all meds.

    I love dairy products.  In addition to drinking lots of milk, eating cheese (and taking a calcium supplement while I was o…[Read more]

    Patricia Meadows replied to the topic How does taking Prednisone help IPF patients in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 2 years, 2 months ago

    Immediately upon diagnosis of PF from an as-yet-unidentified autoimmune disease in April, 2013 I was put on 50mg/day.  I read the information sheet and when I saw that weight gain is a typical side-effect, I decided to pay strict attention to what I ate.  “Mindful” eating really helped me.  If I was out for a meal I would eat half of what was on…[Read more]
