I was on both Esbreit and later Ofev. Also pulmonary rehab a few times. Eventually lungs declined and received a double lung transplant @ a year and half ago. I feel the treatments bought me time and the rehab helped with my strength for the procedure. Doing well so far. Having support and staying positive is very important. Good luck to all as I know your journey. And THANK YOU to my DONOR and all the Medical staff for my being here. And especially my WIFE, stronger than me.

@@polaris7122 Both of the fibrotic meds are only being used for IPF. My understanding there are a lot of different ILD. Best to follow up with your doctor if these would work for your diagnosis.

What they can teach you about breathing, exercise, and a group of people with similar conditions were a big help to me. Wish you well.

What I’ve learned is everyone’s different as there are many causes. Some are steady for many years, others decline in steps, and the last category acute exacerbation. This is rapid decline. I treated, tested, and monitored for close to two years. Declined quickly last few months and received Double lung transplant. I’ve just enjoyed two years post transplant. My advice is be your own advocate, seek the best treatment, and stay strong. If not already doing try pulmonary rehab. It helps to teach breathing, exercise, and hope to monitor how you feel. I believe pulmonary rehab helped me stay strong until I was ready for transplant. Pulmonary fibrosis foundation ok for resources try not to follow internet too much. Lot of outdated info.

Hello, Doctor - or anyone with knowledge regarding this... I had gotten a CT scan with contrast, for actually another condition involving my urinary tract. The lower portion of my lungs and other organs were also included in the imaging. I was completely surprised by the findings: Subpleural reticulation, fibrosis, or atelectasis, in bulibasilar and basilar lobes. I have never smoked, don't have any occupational history, and don't have a cough, I have not had pneumonia or surgery. I am a 60 year old woman, active, and of normal weight. I am awaiting an appointment with my primary care doctor and a referral to a specialist - the urologist who ordered the CT scans couldn't comment on this as it is not her specialty... I am wondering what on earth is going on - After Googling these conditions I am very worried.

Probably genetic variants too. I have IPF and my brother had it before his death a couple of weeks ago. We were raised in different homes for most of our childhood, but had the same parents. I believe that reducing ROS and oxidative stress can slow progression. Still, maybe if I had understood how to avoid metabolic damage at a younger age I wouldn’t have this miserable disease. Now I avoid sugar, seed oils, starches, and grains. I didn’t tolerate the antifibrotic drugs, so I’m highly motivated to find other ways of maximizing my likelihood of staying alive.

The scarring is old they say. * He is going downhill... fatique from anything strenuous. He was just placed oxgen for sleeping. My question is, if we get him going with a good Pulmonary Rehab and exercise program (with oyxen) can we stop the spread of the scarring? in other words...Do old 45 years scars get worse? We are not sure that we want to have him take medicine. (risks may outweigh benefits, we are thinking already) Was hoping that he could successful live with what he's got, and make his last years as comfortable as possible through pulm. rebab and O2.

I was prescribed Amiodarone for my atrial fibrillation in Aug. 2023. I developed Amiodarone toxicity in both lungs which created scarring to my lungs. Previous CT scans indicate progressive scarring and the ILD specialists are recommending Ofev. I'm somewhat gunshy about this medication: 1)it's expensive and 2)the listed side effects cause some concern since the Amiodarone wasn't supposed to cause the problems that it did. So, for those of you taking Ofev, are you tolerating this medication? Have there been any serious side effects? Is Ofev actually slowing down the progression of pulmonary fibrosis? Thanks!

It is not progressive PF. Is there a way to heal or reverse the scarring? I've taken prednisone, tried inhalers and nebulizers, take NAC but my lungs continue to produce thick glue like mucus. This mucus causes me to have coughing fits. I do have post nasal drip which also contributes to my coughing. I spoke with a doctor from Stanford University who told me that 4MU was being used in a clinical trial and seemed to help people with PF. Unfortunately, we are unable to get 4MU in the US.

It's been one year but still she has a cough and 10 days back new CT is done the diagnosis is still infection(fibrosis) is there in lungs it's not reduced and also not increased. So we consulted another doctor almost all investigations are done now planning for bronchoscopy. Will do it once her lung capacity is good for the test. ****Note: My question is my wife lost her brother (@19 age) because of lung issues. Looks like similar issues she has.

If the cause or causes of an illness aren't understood, why not say so ? Why invent a fancy name for this situation ie. Idiopathic? Obviously, every disease has a cause. There could be so many reasons. So,why has idiopathetic pulmonary fibrosis got a definitive pattern on a ct scan ? Or, is this simply an error of judgement?

Idiopathic is a general medical term for cause unknown
