hi, am here again, hopefully for a while. doesn't feel very safe out there sometimes and my family can only take so much.
i have a very aggressive immune disease but undiagnosed.
i picked up a report of my last lungs ct on the way to the pulmonologist.
it had phrases in it like Groundglass opacites in tree bud formations.
i picked up the report to consult my dr about very severe pain in my right lung.
he had told me during the previous visit that the ct scan showed improvement.
i asked him if this was already considered interstitial lung disease.
i didn't put him on the spot and asked him if or why he lied.
he said it's not fibrosis of the lungs yet, which is the last stage.
he prescribed daliresp (4 last stage of COPD). am already on 20 prednisone, inhalers, 2 double nebulizers treatments, theophylline, and was on 200 mg imuran (immune suppressant, which was cut in half because I don't test positive for Wegner's or lupus.
my understanding is that lupus doesn't eat thru cartiledge like this does.
I have pain meds.
yesterday I dealt with it as best I could and without dire explanations to my family.
today I feel like the rug was pulled out from under me and I'm still tumbling.
how do I find my center again?
