After about 3 months I developed an itching problem, over many parts of my body as well as a horrible scaly skin condition on the back of my hands -almost…[Read more]

    Hi, Christie -a late thank you for the welcome to your IPF forums which I’ve come across shortly after myself was diagnosed with IPF, in January last year.
