Biography

I’m 81 years old, have been diagnosed with IPF since October 2020 but have x-ray evidence of mild fibrosis since 2018. Began physical therapy and was doing well, using little O2 until early February 2021 when I caught Covid 19. Received monoclonal antibody infusion and spent 4 days in hospital for low sodium. I can’t seem to recover. My hope is that the symptoms, that have increased, are due to the virus and will, in time, diminish. In the meantime each day is an adventure for I never know how I’ll feel or whether or not I’ll be able to breath. I use O2 more and more but still at 2% and, so far, not at night. My wife is my savior and tomorrow is our 28th anniversary. I appreciate your forum.
