Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi, we are knew to your group. , my husband of 40 years was diagnosed a week ago with pulmonary fibrosis, with usual interstitial pneumonia. We are busy learning about this disease. He got sick one year ago, his CAT improved after we quit smoking so we played a wait and see game, assuming it was copd, he had a bronchoscopy last month as his symptoms worsened, that was inconclusive so had a VAT 2 weeks ago. We are both interested in herbs, vitamins any alternative type medicine. He was on prednisone in Dec. and his pulmonologist is not pushing it, or even encouraging going back on it. His pulmonologist strongly suggested not exercising. has been walking as briskly as possible several times a day, from the efforts group we learned use it or loose it. Do any of you exercise? I am having problems going back in your e-mails to learn as much as possible in a short length of time. We are retired, and except for the things he has been advised not to do ie:paint, etc he remains active. His cough is harsh!! with many episodes daily, any suggestions to helping with that would be appreciated. We look forward to getting to know you folks, and learning how to navigate your site.apologize for the rambling, but have so much to learn!! lol this doesn't look like a walk in the park!! & Jan pjliving@...
