    Terry Mcloughlin replied to the topic Nerve Pain & IPF. in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 4 years, 4 months ago

    Charlene,

    just 2 weeks ago, I started to feel pain in my finger and wrist joints. It moved to my shoulders and became much worse. At the same time, I noticed a skin pigmentation change to purple on the underside of both forearms. I went to my GP and he ordered blood tests, some of which indicated anemia with low hemoglobin and red cell count. I…[Read more]

    Terry Mcloughlin replied to the topic Telomere Lengthening as an Effective PF Treatment in the forum Group logo of Research and DevelopmentResearch and Development 4 years, 4 months ago

     

    This is an article that suggests gene mutations resulting in short telomere length and can be linked to familial IPF and Bone Marrow failure.

    Terry Mcloughlin replied to the topic Vitamin D Insufficiency in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 4 years, 5 months ago

    Charlene, humidity doesn’t seem to bother me as much since I moved from the city to Innisfil a few years ago. It may actually be the higher air quality based on reduced pollution. I would also like to hear from someone who lives is a climate with a consistently higher level of humidity.

    Spending time on the lake and boating often gives me plenty…[Read more]

    I’m surprised about how much information is available linking vitamin d deficiency and lung disease.

    sorry for getting you hopes up but there is more information on the tax deduction.

    In 2015, the tax department ruled that the deduction should not be allowed. Perhaps there is more to come.

    I found a case where a person claimed expenses for a trip to a warm climate to improve their health condition. In 2008 their claim was accepted. In 2009 their claim was partially rejected however they appealed and won.  This is a link to the appeal;

    I find it interesting that such a high percentage of forum members share the same vitamins D insufficiency. I just started taking the suppliment several months ago and haven’t noticed any changes in how I feel. I may double my dosage to 10,000 IU, which is still within safe limits, at least until the summer begins.

    When I returned from a trip to…[Read more]

    Terry Mcloughlin replied to the topic Vitamin D Insufficiency in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 4 years, 5 months ago

    I wonder if the vitamin D deficiency is a symptom or a contributor to IPF. I also have been diagnosed several times with a deficiency. I started a D3 5000 IU once per day. I am out on the water all summer and vacation in the sun during the winter but it doesnt seem to be enough. I wonder if increasing our exposure to the sun will reduce the…[Read more]

    Charlene, your posts are very interesting and motivated me to join this group. I hope I can learn more about ways to improve my quality of life living with IPF.

    I have been very lucky since my diagnosis 5 years ago. I have many good days but if I come down with a cold or lung infection I have very bad days, for many weeks. My family and friends…[Read more]
