Understanding Pulmonary Fibrosis 

My papa had it, watching someone get so bad is heartbreaking. Watching him fade away and I was there when he was rushed to the hospital I was crying so much, there was no cure for it and that’s what hurt most he will always be remembered I love you papa❤️ and I miss u so much

I had covid in August, 2020 and was hospitalized for about 8 months, in coma 3 months. I pulled through! I was on a ventilator, feeding tube, trachea and I think a tube in my mouth, don't exactly understand what that was all about. I had lots of crazy episodes of fighting with doctors and nurses. Bottom line is, I was fighting for my life. Today I am living but with pulmonary fibrosis. I use oxygen 24/7, I need a walker, wheelchair or motor scooter to be my legs and feet and energy to get around and enjoy my life. Cleaning my home is not the same as it was for me. I must take about 10 minutes to rest and to continue to do my house work, but hey, I am doing better than before. Last year I didn't do this well. Today I did a little bit of a walk with a friend. I'd say it was a good short but extra distance than what I used to do. I was really out of breath but I was determined to get that exercise done and I did! It wasn't easy but neither is it when all I get to do is nothing! I was okay. Yes, I cough crazy as if I'm suffocating and sometimes I cough so bad, I throw up. I don't like that. Life has been different for me but I have a lot to thank God for and I have faith, hope and I believe that I will improve maybe not completely but at a certain limit in its time 🙏. I don't think doubtful and I like to focus on enjoying my life and trying to be happy. I'm disabled now, but this makes me only focus on myself and what I need, my worthiness. People stare at me, I smile and ignore. I've learned that the world isn't always a kind place. Nothing is perfect but I keep an open mind and put the focus on me because I can't change anything but me and that I can learn to do. Difficult people want to be difficult but I don't want to be like them. Besides, I don't have the energy for them. Anxiety is horrible when I have the oxygen running and a cannula up my nose. I look forward for each new thing I can do better at. Every day can be different. Maybe today is a tough day, tomorrow might be better and if I'm feeling tired, then perhaps another day will be best. There's always better days ahead too. So, I beat covid. I didn't let covid beat me. I'm at peace for miracles. I'll never walk away from me.

Yes, I am alone. God bless you all

Lost my father yesterday morning to this awful disease 😭💔

I've a friend that has this. She received a lung transplant several years ago and everything seemed fine. She had a new lease on life. Recently her body started rejecting her new lungs. Things are not looking good for her.

At this point i'm still very shocked with the negative result I got after suffering from pulmonary fibrosis for so long. Thanks once again Dr. Ogudugu on RU-vid for your medication

My dad has just been diagnosed and I am absolutely devastated. I realise that this is going to kill my dad.

Congratulations and great video I should know by July if I made the list ❤

Hi! Can you tell me if " linear lesions of bilateral pulmonary apical fibrosis " is serious?

My neighbor has had this for 5 yrs and he’s painting the outside and inside of his house in Florida so maybe find a dr in Florida

My father is suffering because of this disease. However its cough which is causing him muscle loss. Is there anything or any medicine we can use to relief his cough?

I have question for you over pulmonary fibrosis. Can Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis damaged both of lungs or only one of the lung

My Grandmother died from this on April 21st 2020

I am so confused. I am a 29 year woman who has never smoked. I recently got a CT scan of my chest. Everything came back normal except it said I had biapical scarring. Does this mean I have pulmonary fibrosis? I hope to God not. I have no idea what this means. My neurologist ordered it (long story why he ordered it). He seemed to think it was fine and that it might have resulted from me having bronchitis (which I had at least 3 times in my life) or something in the past. I am waiting to see a pulmonologist to look it over but it will probably be at least a month before I can get in. I do have days where it is difficult to breath. My pulse ox is normal. When I type in biapical scarring, pulmonary fibrosis instantly comes up and this is terrifying me. What does this mean? Does everyone has some level of scarring? This is exactly what the report said: "There is biapical scarring. There is no airspace consolidation. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The major central airways are patent."

Is it hereditary uncle that died from it is 62-year-old son has it right now I’m concerned for the other brother

Diagnosed in 2022,. Im worried about my wife and kids more than me.

LET'S BEAT IT TB

is he still alive?

I'm 39 I have IPF I found it very painful and everyday is different. It's been 1 yr now that I noticed I had a cough that never went away.

I was just diagnosed with this today.... Mine is most likely caused by my mixed connective tissue disease. Is it down hill from here or does it get a little better.

i lost my dad to pulmonary fibrosis 3 weeks ago. :(((( worst day of my life when he went into cardiac arrest when there was no enough oxygen to the heart💔

My questions are Does IPF pulmonary fibrosis damaged both of the lungs or only one of them and can young age like 20s 30s get pulmonary fibrosis and can women get IPF thank you for your time
