Patient

Short Bio

Progressive shortness of breath and irritating cough began in early 2020 shortly after significant bush fires  attacked our area. After visiting GP was treated with cough suppressants etc  with no benefit. After local clinic lung breath test was granted an appointment to see lung specialist who ordered another CT scan which showed advance IPF. The specialist made an application to the Pharmaceutical Board for the use of OPEV. I started on 150gm morning – night. Some stomach discomfort but manageable, because I am on Oxycontin for joint pain the diarrhea balances the constipation from that drug.
