    Renee replied to the topic travel while on ofev in the forum Ofev (Nintedanib) 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    I just made a trip to the Grand Canyon. I was off of my Ofev for 10 days. According to my Doctor it was not a big deal to get off of it because l have no other underlying medical problems. She said if l were on any meds dealing with an infection, that would be a different story.  Overall I am healthy, except for the PF. I am not downplaying this…[Read more]

    Renee replied to the topic Is ipf genetic? in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 8 months ago

    Exactly Richard, it does matter. Our children and grandchildren are in danger of having this terrible disease. I don’t want my granddaughter and her offspring to be worried about it. My son has passed so that leaves my worries about our little girl and her future.

    My two brothers have died from IPF. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and my doctor keeps telling me that it isn’t a hereditary disease.  It appears to me if all of these reporting about different family members testing positive for IPF, then is would be familiar.

    Hi Liz,

    1. I am on Breo once a day but honestly can’t say if it’s helpful. I don’t have asthma so really not sure why I am on it, but doc wants me to stay with it.

    Renee replied to the topic Coughing in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 1 year, 11 months ago

    Hi Augusta,
    I coughed for a year before finally getting the diagnosis of IPF. I started on Ofev in January of this year and my coughing has almost disappeared. I am convinced that the Ofev has helped. The side effects can be bad at times, but right now and l will take that over the constant hacking anyday😀. Hopefully you can get some relief.…[Read more]

    Makes you wonder if they REALLY know whether its genetic or not. More and more people l talk to are saying they too have close family members. The main reason l want to know for sure is because if my granddaughter. Could she someday have a diagnosis of IPF???
    Scares me witless.

    Renee replied to the topic New diagnosis age 61 in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 2 years, 1 month ago

    I too was just diagnosed with IPF. I have 2 siblings that had a definite diagnosis of IPF. My doctor says its nit genetic, but still makes me wonder about 3 of 6  developing this horrible disease.  They both only lived less than 3 years after the diagnosis.
