  • Bill Van Nierop, who lives with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), defines himself as an IPF patient not an IPF sufferer. Bill talks about the stigma surrounding lung disease, the impact this has on research and his goal to to help others living with a lung disease through raising awareness and changing community perspectives.

    I lost my dad to this vicious disease!!! Took a long time to get diagnosed - he was a geographer, never a smoker. They had no idea why he got this. All I know is I can't stand the loss of him...

    Hi, I am Deanna from the country of Trinidad and Tobago. I was diagnosed about two years ago after noticing sogns and symptoms that my doctors did not understand. I am a Teacher and it is frustrating to deal with the lack of information and support regarding this disease in my country.

      My husband been taking ofev about 5 weeks. Blood work showed a 10th spike in liver. Dr said continue. Meds have not gave him any side affects he takes with half peanut butter sandwich as dr recommended. Dr said it takes a year to know if pill is working but getting cat scan in 6 months will tell alot also. He was diagnosed around March 2022. Went on 2 liter oxygen july. He has good days and bad days. Is not leaving house much he is 77 ver active healthy man till this. I wish I could find a online support group for him. As I have searched RUclips journeys not much or comments are shut off

    Deterioration of the lungs CAN be stopped by using high quality Manuka honey through a nebuliser. I was diagnosed with IPF in 2007. Within 2 months of starting this treatment my coughing had reduced 98%, and within 6 months the disease was no longer progressing. I still suffer from this disease, but 15 years later I am still here, thanks to that magnificent honey.
