    Ruth Edwards replied to the topic Overheating as a Patient with Pulmonary Fibrosis in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 3 years, 5 months ago

    In the last two years I’ve become a walking, human puddle.  I’m always hot and have to dress in layers, so I’m always able to strip down to just a tank top.  This is happening now throughout the year as well.  I literally will be fine/dry one minute and then my head feels like it’s on fire, my face is red and I look like someone is holding one of…[Read more]

    Has anyone or is anyone currently taking NAC supplements and do you find it’s helping?

    Ruth Edwards replied to the topic The Frequency of Changing Your Nasal Cannula in the forum Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis: 50+ 3 years, 6 months ago

    Usually the 7ft part, every 2 – 3 weeks…or when it starts to irritate the skin on my cheeks…that seems to be a sign to change.  The 50 ft. part about every 2 – 3 months..probably should be sooner.  I’m trying out different kinds.  One that said it didn’t tangle/knot up so quickly.

    No @lwaldschmidt , I have PF. Diagnosed in 2015. Told I had a year…husband very suppportive then…but now I’m in my 4th year and for the last two, we’ve been separated.

    Has anyone else lost their spouse because of this disease?

    They just couldn’t cope with being on the other side, watching the person they love, dying.

    The limitations of the things you can now do because you’re on oxygen grows frustrating and depressing for both.

    Ruth Edwards replied to the topic Tips for Carrying Multiple Items as a Patient with PF. in the forum Join the Discussion: Welcome to all PF/IPF Patients 3 years, 8 months ago

    Same suggestion.  I use my Nexus walker.  My liquid oxy tank on the seat, along with my purse with one of the straps  wrapped around the handle area.  I have a water bottle holder hanging from one of the sides.  When I go into a store where there will be a cart, I leave the walker in the car and use the shopping cart for personal and shopping good…[Read more]

    I have been taking Clear Lungs, a Chinese Herbal in capsule form for 3 months now and can’t say I’ve seen a difference.  Still hoping to hear about the laser treatments with the chiropractors.  Loved the 70% chocolate idea for dry cough.  Just so fantastic to see so many ideas being suggested for possible relief of all kinds of symptoms.  Hop…[Read more]
