| Short Bio | I was diagnosed with IPF in May 2020. Was on ESbriet for 9 weeks but had Dr discontinue it due to side effects of GERD. I am currently using Anoro Ellipta,once daily and Albuterol inhaler or Albuterol nebulizer. They have helped with the shortness of breath. I am hoping my pulmonologist will put me back on the ESbriet as I so much wanted to take it. Will have to titrate back up to the dose of 801 Mg a day but will see what she says. I also have Plaque Psoriasis and take Skyrizi every three months by injection and it has controlled my Psoriasis. Also have heart disease with a small aortic arch aneurysm. |
