Short Bio | I am a 92 year old lady being diagnosed with interstial lung disease in 2016 with no noticiable problems. In January of 2019 I was diagnosed with IPF. Since that diagnosis I have a severe cough that will bring up mucus at times and other times it is dry. I suffer from cramping in my legs and across my rib cage with pain between my shoulder blades and across my middle back. I am fatigued most of the time so my physical activities are very limited. I nebulize 3 times a day which seems to help the coughing somewhat. I realize with my age that some of these problems are probably due to my age, but the constant coughing and fatigue are wearing. |
