What kind of breathing exercises are you doing? I believe my fibrosis is caused mainly from my autoimmune disease. Schleroderma and RA along with Sjögren's. I haven't started Ofev yet. I'm hoping if or when I start taking it I won't have too many problems with it.
Thank you for your response.
Blessings to you as well🙏🏼

Hi! I bought a breathing exercise product called The Breather on Amazon. I really believe it has helped strengthen my lungs. It also has an app with it. They also have a support team who will answer questions. I try and use it at least once a day. Also, check out Breathing With Elizabeth on YouTube. She is a respiratory therapist with a lot of knowledge and exercises. If you enjoy reading, Dr. Noah Greenspan has a couple of really great books about PF and pulmonary exercises. Also, google “ pursed lip breathing” which I use a lot when I have SOB. This exercise will not only strengthen your lungs but help you get your breathing back to normal. It takes a lot of patience which I guess is my lesson for this time in my life! 😁
