For years, sudden episodes of breathlessness would leave 80 year-old Ivy terrified.
Ivy suffers from Sjögren’s syndrome which is an autoimmune condition that has affected her lungs. It has caused scarring, and she suffers from a dry cough and fatigue.
Ivy also experiences episodes of severe breathlessness caused by the condition.
A routine visit to hospital led to an invitation to join the SELF-BREATHE study which led to Ivy regaining control of her breathing.
Read Ivy’s full story and find out how you can be part of research

Breathlessness limits independence and social engagement, with psychological and behavioural responses compounding activity restriction. A multi-agency approach is needed to address modifiable factors and reduce the overall burden of breathlessness. bit.ly/3XlmwXa
