| Best advice for PF symptom management | I’m learning! I am 70 but feel young. I am currently on 10 LPM/24-7. I am in Palliative Care and am on morphine to help with my breathing. The slightest sniffle sends me reeling. I have go to MUSC to begin the qualification process but it’s not looking good. I was sent home to put on 10 pounds and get stronger.
