I’m just learning to accept that I’ve been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and that I’ll have this progressive and incurable disease for the rest of my life, but I have a constant reminder in an oxygen tank I now have to have with me 24/7 or I might suffocate to death. All this hit me pretty hard and I was being treated for depression even before I found out I have IPF too, so of course that made the whole situation that much worse.
Now that I’m somewhat better, or the anti-depressants kicked in, I’m trying to get the all the tests I need to see how far has the disease progressed. But in a worst case scenario, what is average life expectancy for someone suffering from pulmonary fibrosis?

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) four years ago. For over two years, I relied on prescribed medications and treatments, but unfortunately, my condition continued to worsen. My breathing became more difficult, fatigue increased, and even simple activities started to leave me exhausted.Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My breathing improved, my energy levels increased, and I was able to do more without feeling constantly short of breath.It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years. If you or a loved one is struggling with IPF, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. You can visit their website at www.naturepathherbalclinic.com
