My husband was diagnosed this past December with Pulmonary Fibrosis. He has declined rapidly from 2liters nasal cannula to now 100% non-rebreather and in the hospital. He was given high doses of steroids for about 10 days during this hospital stay and one day he could not even bear weight to his legs, the doctors said the term is Steroid Myopathy. He was transfered to a Rehab where it's both frustrating and sad to see him try to perform the exercises they require. I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer. Thanks!
