| Short Bio |
Diagnosed with PF in July 2017 at age 62. Was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for treatment. Had a lung biopsy in Oct 2017 and was given formal diagnosis of Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis with Fibrosis. In Nov 2017 was started on a course of Prednisone & Cellcept. Have been on night time O2 since Dec 2017 & day time O2 with activity since Oct 2018. Am currently on 3L of O2 both day & night. Also have diagnosis of Chronic Bronchiectasis which adds inflammation to my lungs. Retired from my job as Probation/Parole officer after being diagnosed to focus on taking care of my health & enjoy life as best I can.
