Patient

Short Bio

I am a semi-retired biological anthropologist, recently diagnosed with PF (chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis) after years of struggling with my breath. My father died of this disease 30 years ago and at the time, his doctor told us to be vigilant of our lung health as the genetics of the disease were poorly understood. I continue to do research from home and also write a doll soap opera blog that keeps me occupied.

Type of Pulmonary Fibrosis?

PF of known aetiology

How long have you or the person that you are caring for had PF?

My doctors believe I have had it for a long time and that would explain a lot. I was diagnosed 3 months ago.

How did you find us?
