About this guide

People living with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and their family members often feel confused, concerned, and overwhelmed by the disease and by the lack of clear and consistent information about what PF is. You may have experienced this yourself. Physicians do not always have the necessary time or resources to explain the details of the disease or to provide the support that people living with PF need.

The purpose of this guide is to help provide an overview of pulmonary fibrosis for patients and their caregivers, and to help provide clear and consistent information about PF, so that you can live a healthier, more normal life.

Please remember that this information is a brief overview and is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult personal physicians or health care providers with any questions regarding specific medical conditions.

We are here to help. Contact the PFF Help Center with any questions or concerns you have about PF and available resources during the course of your care. Our staff can be reached at 844.TalkPFF (844.825.5733) or help@pulmonaryfibrosis.org .
