Just diagnosed....took a while. I'm 62. Always been responsible. Zero debt. Nice retirement nest-egg always sacrificing, scrimping, and saving planning for the future...that I now don't have. Never been one to live now...pay later. Now I have the opportunity to live now and NOT pay later! With an 800+ credit score and PLENTY for minimum down payments on hundred year notes at I don't care interests rates! I'm about to get me a beach house with a slip and one helluva off-shore fishing boat. My sister can call the banks and tell them where to come get their stuff when I'm done with it. I'm just glad I got a heads-up instead of like that poor schmuck taken out in a car wreck. Gone fishin!

My "not mother in law" (bf's mom. I've been dating him for over 5 yrs). His mom was diagnosed and has had it for 15 yrs. She is an outlier! Interesting thing is that she has been on MaryJane this whole time and thinks that it has help add over a decade of life to her. But now she is hospice at home. Declining fast. This is a terrible disease!! Just brutal. I hope they make a break through soon so others can live longer.

Thanks so much for the video, I have been diagnosed with PF early results, I have to have a CAT scan and another test. My Dr. a pulmonologist from my town has stated he feels mycase involves long term GERD. I have had it for 47 year to the point of Barrettes disease. He wants me to go to my GI and ask if I should have the operation to tighten up the sphincter muscle. If so it would help prevent the acid from coming up. I am on 60MG of omeprazole and have been for many years. Still I have several reflux. My diet has not been good thinking the drugs were working but in fact we overwhelmed in my opinion. I don't smoke quit in 1980, but my diet was not good until two weeks ago with red wine, lots of acid types of food. I have now started to take care of my diet, lose weight etc. My brother died of complications of the lungs at 77. He had worked for a company spraying paint inside fuel tanks, if those days there were no regulations for that work. Thanks again for all your hard work, I am hoping to live at least another 5 years. But if not I have had a good run.

timmy tool Hello Timmy. I just got diagnosed last week and I’m only 56. I have 4 children and the youngest 2 have type 1 diabetes so I would like to be around a little while to help them along. I too have had a long relationship with GERD. I never would have dreamed it could have caused this. Sure wish the docs new more about treatment that’s for sure.

@@daby8399 i was diagnosed with IPF in 2,000. i was told i would have to take steroids in combination with an immunosuppresent, Azathioprine. i was also told i had only 3-5 years of life.. i declined the drugs. i was then offered a heart/lung transplant, which i declined. 21 years later i am still here but do realise, like every living being on this planet, my time is limited. I take daily exercise and really do 'push' myself, walking with the aid of an all-terrain walker, going off-road as much as possible, woodland is preferred by me to going shopping. i practice meditation and have Reiki once a month, also practice Tai Chi. instead of the big pharma drugs i use cannabis resin in cooking.

Whenever i see my Thoracic Consultant she always brings in at least one of her students. They are asked to listen to my breathing via a stethoscope. Once they have listened she asks what sounds they heard. Usually the answer is that there are sounds like 'velcro' being pulled apart. This is the 'crackling' being referred to.. One student, however, took a few moments to figure out what he'd heard and said it sounded like 'Rice Krispies' having milk poured onto them.. i hope this answers your question.. ♥
