Curious as to why you're taking the colchicine. Do you have other illnesses accompanying it, such as gout? I'm assuming by what you say that at the present you're not on oxygen and your saturation levels are fine. What led you to a pulmonologist and how were you diagnosed? > > I have recently been diagnosed with IPF, I am taking colchisine .6mg, NAC > 3/day and exercising to keep myself fit.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 i breath mush easier, walk (about 1/2 mile in 10 mins.) without getting short of breath. over all i fell sooooo much better. i still have to take it slow and easy not to lift or carry heavy items. stay out of hot weather, and away from perfume, aftershave, fresh cut grass and fresh brewed coffee. over all so much better. hope this helps ken To: Breathe-Support Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2008 3:17:16 AMSubject: Re: New member Ken the doc is talking about putting me on Cellcept too what is it doing since you haven't had a transplant?Pink Joyce IPF 3/06 Pennsylvania From: Overman <kenover44 (AT) yahoo (DOT) com>Subject: Re: New memberTo: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comDate: Monday, November 24, 2008, 4:11 PM good afternoon Bob my docs. have me on 2000mg of cellcept, 2 500mg 2x daily. note i have not had a transplant but the cellcept appears to be workng very good for me. good luck ken From: robert sorensen <woodchipperbob@ gmail.com>To: Breathe-Support@ yahoogroups. comSent: Monday, November 24, 2008 12:08:43 PMSubject: New member I have recently been diagnosed with IPF, I am taking colchisine .6mg, NAC 3/day and exercising to keep myself fit.
