Mr
by George
Recently diagnosed with Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. I am taking up to date medicine, Prednisolone - offered by the NHS to reduce lung inflammation, it’s the only medicine I take at the moment. its the only one I am offered. I also take salt water in a nebulizer to loosen the phlegm in the lower part of the lungs two/three times a day, it works well, but not all the time. I was told by the specialist there was no cure for this condition, they are so matter of fact with this devastating information to patients, there are so many difference drugs for cancer yet none for this condition you feel a freak, but new drugs was coming all the time, I was saddened by this information, and yet to read that only 1 in 10 suffered with this condition which placed it in a rare category not worthy of further financial pharmaceutical research. |
