This group of folks is very supportive and informative. It has been a blessing to me. I have never met any of them. We share with one another and some folks have had that symptom and helps us with info. Most people, drs. Included haven't heard of PF or IPF. I was fortunate to get a very informed dr. He was recommended by the PFf from the group head. Dr. Ganesh Raghu at the University of WA. I was called the very next day. It can be scary if you don't have a good dr. The first one told me I had 2-3yrs. To live. I am in my 11th year.and.....planning for lots more!
