Looking for how others fight the same fight. 18 months with a PM and living with I P F. On o2 24/7. I'm trying Esbriet now in hopes of getting the lungs stable. Get breathless walking 30 feet or so.

Welcome @11241935,
I am not sure what a PM is or an IPF. I do hope you become stable very soon. I was breathless at that distance prior to my quad bypass a little over 2 years ago. My lungs were full of fluid and now not unless I skip the Bumex too many days in a row.

I used PM as a short for pacemaker and the I P F is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In short, I'm gonna leave this earth soon. 😇

Thank you for that clarification.
