Hello Charlene,

Absolutely spectacular pictures of Hawaii. I’m very envious. Someday I have to reread how you made it that far from your home. United requires me to carry enough battery power to cover twice the distance to my destination. I live north of Chicago so if I carry two double batteries for my Imogene One G3, I can only get to the… Read more

Hi Charlene,

You and I have to be brother and sister from different mothers because our bodies react to IPF the same. First, and foremost, I believe a lot of the muscle pain and cramping is a function of IPF inhibiting the oxygen to those muscles but the cramping is directly related to the medications we take. I have taken both Ofev and… Read more

Hi Mark,
When I was younger and working I made many trips to the Far East most frequently to the Philippines and China. I always seemed to return home with a bronchitis feeling in my lungs. And I mean every trip. My doctor prescribed Nasonex or Flonase nasal spray which I always started two days before the flights and continued on the flight… Read more

Hi Charlene and other writers on this thread. I am learning this forum is a wonderful source of guidance on the many decisions we make as IPF patients. For me the discussions on one or more lung transplants is extremely helpful. I am 69 years old and except for the fact that I am overweight I think I fit the profile of a worthy transplant… Read more

Yes I am on higher deliveries of O2 and quite honestly now I wear my oxygen tubes whenever I can. I used to not use it until my sats dropped below 90. Now I wear it a lot and feel better for doing so. I am returning to the Midwest US next week and… Read more

Hi Charlene,

To follow up, I had no other side effects from taking Esbriet other than sun sensitivity. I was a little surprised my doctor allowed me to switch to Ofev. However, when I asked him why he i.e. Northwestern Medicine, chose Esbriet in the first place, he didn’t really know. I think both drugs were relatively new and Northwestern… Read more

I currently am on 150 mg of Ofev every twelve hours. I was on Esbriet for about 18 months and then switched to Ofev earlier this year. For me the fact that I became very sun sensitive using Esbriet was the motivation to change. I chase the warm weather (and sunshine) during the winter months so being able to spend time in the sun is a must.… Read more

Been reading the forum since IPF diagnosis in 2016 and realized there are a lot of folks going through what I am. Thought it time to get involved because I have many more questions than answers. If you believe in the five steps of grief (I do) I think I am beginning and hoping to move from step 4, depression, to the final… Read more
