In November last year I was asked if I could write an article for the Lancet about my experiences as a patient with IPF.
It went through a couple of iterations, but this week it was published, and I've had some very positive feedback from it.

I hope it brings some inspiration and help to some other patients, but also helps the medical professionals understand the patient side of things a little better.
I'm feeling a lot better now - but I still have an occasional cough, and at night I feel I'm not getting enough air, so am constantly using the CPAP machine, which helps me get off to sleep.
Yesterday I had my dental check up. Everything fine, so no work needed at all, but I need to floss my teeth more.
The storms have quietened down, actually quite sunny at the moment, but there is a lot of water around. If it rains again there will be instant flooding.
I've had some issues with the lights at home, constantly blowing the fuse. It's been sorted now thank goodness. All the visible connections have been changed, so now I need a load of new lampshades - currently have Russian lampshades in all the rooms.
