CARE IN THE COMMUNITY

Bilko profile image
5 Replies

I live in south West Scotland and was diagnosed with IPF in 2008. since then I have constant attention from G.P. and my respiratory nurse. when I feel bad my nurse will call two or three times a week and consults with my G.P. who will also call. I can only praise the support and attention that I receive from everybody

Morning Bilko, So glad to hear you are getting all the support you deserve, My darling husband suffered with IPF for just over 5 Years, so I know how difficult life can be, Like you we had wonderful support from all Doctor,Hospice and the District Nurses were magnificent. Do trust you are not suffering power cuts due to the dreadful weather you have been having, Always such a worry if you are using Concentrators for your oxygen, Hope you are as comfortable as is possible, Very best wishes,Bulpit
