Close Pulmonary Fibrosis
My husband Ed ,age 81 has had IPF since 1992. He is now starting a severe rapid decline. Not the first decline of course. This has been a real yo yo emotional and physical /health experience the past 16 months. I have lost track of the times he has been a "breath" away from death. Now it is really escalating. But.. he still jokes around and enjoys a few good days when he pulls out of the crisis. Blessedly we have a wonderful support group thru our church, friends and my family.
Treatments
- Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
- worked for Ed but caused other problems. He hates prednisone.
