My Health Issues

Postby BIGHOSS » Thu Aug 17, 2017 9:19 am

I have shared some of my health problems with a few of you, but I thought that I would let the entire forum family know what's going on.
I have recently been diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. This is a fairly serious disease of the lungs. It is treatable, but not curable. Medication can slow down the progression, but not completely stop the spreading. The symptoms are shortness of breath and coughing.
I am now taking a fairly new drug called IFEV, that tests are showing positive results,. This is a really expensive drug but different agencies, along with my health insurance have stepped forward and are picking up the cost for now.

I am trying to stay positive and will continue to live my life as normal as possible. After all, I still have horses to ride and cubs to fix.

Thanks. Prayers are welcomed.

Ron

Sad to learn of your circumstance. Will pray that the medication slows/eases this assault on your lungs.

Wishing you the best!
