Hi Claire,
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it! I’m sorry you are having a hard time with Ofev as well. I take 1 pill in morning and 1 in evening. As I understand, it’s an antifibrotic medicine. As you know, the diarrhea is so limiting with just doing things around the house! It’s sad these meds, which are supposed to help, really affect our quality of living.
In my previous post, I explained I have ILD, Antisynthetase syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that affects the lungs.
If you don’t mind me asking, was your kidney removal related to your lung issue? You’ve been through a lot!
I’m in Los Angeles and my doctor is at Cedars Sinai Hospital. I just joined at Cedars an online lung support group that meets every 2 weeks. It’s really nice to hear from others!
Maybe they have one you could join?
God bless you too and hugs to you,
