I do. Diagnosed March 2018. Currently taking Esbriet, going to Pulmonary rehabilitation 2 days a week. Using 02 while sleeping and as needed during the day.

Can not physically exert myself without getting out of breath. No problem when resting. Life is getting more difficult each month. I live alone with my dog. Can not take her for too many walks, difficult grocery shopping and cleaning the house.

Very depressing, no cure ir hope. Looking for stem cell trestment or new medications to.
provide relief.

wba3721 You sound exactly like me. All I can say is I understand. I've been like this since 2014. I'm not taking Esbriet or Ofev because I fear the side effects, plus I understand it's very expensive. Nor am I going to Pulmonary Rehab because it's never been mentioned. Does it help you? PLEASE respond. Good luck in your research. cognac
