Short Bio

My husband was diagnosed with IPF in Nov., 2020  and he was put on Ofev. The side effects were tough so the doctor cut back on the amount but it didn’t change much so he has been totally off of it for a few months, feeling much better. He also has eosinophilic pneumonia  and gets a shot of Nucala once a month. Apparently, it’s unusual for the two diseases to exist together so I’m curious if other people have encountered this.
