Hello @shamrock5jeg and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This is a forum for and about patients who can encourage and support each other through our journeys with health problems. I can certainly understand how confusing multiple medical problems can be. It would be much easier to deal with just one problem at a time.

I would like to connect you with some others on Connect who share some of the same health problems that you have.

@merpreb is a long-time lung cancer survivor and I'm sure she will invite you to her discussion group. Also, @johnbishop has had neuropathy for many years and will most likely help you to find others in your situation.

Here is a Mayo Connect discussion on pulmonary fibrosis,

You mention at the end of your post that walking is a problem for you. Is it related to neuropathy or to shortness of breath caused by lung problems?

Thanks@hopeful33250. Shortness of breath and balance are the major problems walking. My cane helps.
