Biography

I’m a psychotherapist who has sat on his pratt for 45 yrs.  Also a potter, which may have triggered the IPF with raku firings. Many other lung insults.  Diagnosed in August, 2018.  Shortness of breath going up to my 3rd Flr. office, which I thought might have been my ticker, as I had two stents put in in ’99. No problems since.  Dx came after “crackles” were heard and both x-ray and CT show some honeycombing in lower lungs.  So I’m in beginning.  Dx confirmed at Mass.Gen. a few weeks ago.
