I live in Fairfax Calif, just north of San Francisco. I was diagnosed in January of this year and so far my symptoms have been fairly mild.  My oxygen is still in the normal range but I have a lot of shortness of breath. I am being treated at UCSF which has a network of clinics in my area. I just finished tapering off of prednisone which was hell for me. I started with  Esbriet  but it really tore me up so I stopped until I got done with the prednisone. Gonna try again..gradually this time.
