Hi Bob, sorry you need us, but glad you found us

alphabet soup is fun -- ipf--idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis--idiopathic means unknown

sometimes i call it "idiot pathology" lol

actually, i did find a list someplace, but don't remember where

someone on line will probably give you a link for a list

ask your doctor if insurance will cover the vest, and call your insurance companyPink Joyce IPF 3/06 Pennsylvania

Hi Beth, Sorry I had to find your group but so glad I did. Lots of great people with lung problems. I¢ve had bronchiectasis for several years and in Sept was given the word for fibrosis of the lung Do you have a short list you could send for all the abbreviations I see. Some I could pick, others who knows? I know I need to exercise but how do I stopping coughing long enough to walk more than a few yards. The Dr. wants me to try the vest to help clear my lungs. Has anyone had any luck with their insurance on that one.

Back home from my mini-vacation. Delightful time, great food, bettercompany and conversation. I know Leanne says its not travel without aplane but I disagree.... .doesn't even have to be far. Just drive alittle distance to spend time with friends.Oh my.....just realized. Someone took a picture. I could be in trouble.No, I was behaving fine.I sure hope the Pennsylvania / NE or whatever group of you get together.You'll be amazed how nice it will be.>>> Going in a little bit to Arlington , TX .
