Great to see it getting more coverage amagran, lets hope it continues :) Good too that the Nice Guidelines for IPF will be published next year. I noticed in the article you referred to that IPF is on the increase - I wonder if that is because more people are developing it for some reason or whether IPF was previously overlooked and the true extent of the disease is only just being realised? Either way of course the increased attention to it, and awareness of it, will hopefully serve to improve things!

Hope you and Richard are having a better day today, P x

My personal theory is that it has always been there, a rose by any other name, not that long ago people only had consumption, and that covered quite a few ailments, Yes its good that there is more coverage, but it remains to be seen what the next step is. xx
