What more can you do if you have pulmonary fibrosis or an interstitial lung disease? In this video I make some suggestions that cover lifestyle changes, healthy living, mental health, symptomatic treatments, research etc.

The suggestions start at 03:44 (after my intro and context).

I discuss the following topics:
1. Stopping smoking
2. Avoiding indoor pollution (inside your home)
3. Good quality sleep and how to improve sleep
4. Reducing acid reflux
5. Increasing exercise while giving the body time to recover
6. Overcoming personal challenges can be a good thing
7. Relationships and support
8. Community involvement, sharing your knowledge and getting involved in meaningful projects
9. Getting involved in research
10. Oxygen treatment if required

I also share some suggestions as they relate to my personal life.
