It's important to learn as much as you can about idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) so you can take proactive steps to manage your condition. Talking with your healthcare team can make all the difference. Your team can include your doctor, pulmonologist, and nurses who specialize in lung diseases. Tell your team about yourself. Express your resolve and determination to manage your condition.
Talk with your doctor to discuss ways to manage your IPF and to support a healthy lifestyle
You have to be your own health advocate—ask questions about your care, understand what you’re being told, ask about the side effects of medicines being prescribed. Investigate what you are told and possible alternatives in your treatment plan. Be an active participant in your own healthcare!”
