Best advice for PF symptom management |
First of all I went to Children’s Hospital in Denver, Co for a week of tests and observations. They treat you like you are someone special. They further concluded I have IPF and emphysema. They recommended OFEV and Spiriva. In Tucson they had previous told me I was beyond medicine and didn’t recommend any. However, I am now on OPFEV and taking Spiriva since Jan 2017. I am not on oxygen thank God. I exercise at least 14 hrs a week almost every day. They have me take a breathing test every 3 months and blood draw.
