Short Bio | I am single, mother of 2 girls, and live in Washington with my younger daughter. I was diagnosed with ILD in 1992. Took Prednisone for 15 years which controlled it. When I was weaned off prednisone after 15 years, symptoms disappeared. It was gone until 2019 when it returned with many more symptoms. I was diagnosed with IPF in 2020. It has progressed in the last two years quite rapidly, but my pulmonary doctor thinks Esbriet is working to slow the progression. |
