Biography

I was diagnosed with IPF in June of 2021.  At that time, I had no noticeable symptoms, and it was discovered via a CT scan of a shoulder injury.  When I finally could get in to see a Dr. due to Covid, I was down to an 80% lung function.  By October of 2021 I was experiencing shortness of breath and by November I was down to 60% lung function.  I started OFEV in late November and went on Level 3 Oxygen 24/7.  I changed Doctors in February 2022 and since then my fibrosis has been stable.  I am beginning to show some flagged numbers with my liver function, and I have had some heart issues but after a recent right heart cath, my heart pressure was found to be normal.
