Short Bio

I was diagnosed last year of interstitial lung disease.  My condition is aggravated by post nasal drip, allergies, and GERD.  It’s been a year of constant coughing  which causes my hoarse voice.  My doctor thinks it may be IPF because he was able to ruled autoimmune involvement.  I’m very miserable.  My constant cough causes depression.  I want to die.   This disease is going to progress and living is a living hell.
