Just starting this journey
In June went to doctor with shortness of breath, and cough. Had a chest Xray, after results of Xray doctor said I needed to get a CT scan. After results of CT scan doctor said I needed to see a Pulmonologist, also ordered some blood test. I was positive ANA test, positive on Rheumatoid Factor, positive on CCP test. Doctor said I also had to see a Rheumatologist. After seeing Rheumatologist found out that I have Palindromic rheumatism. Pulmonologist says I have Interstitial Lung Disease with moderate lung scarring. Rheumatologist and Pulmonologist both decided to put me on Mycophenolate (2000 MG a day). I have not had any side effects from the Mycophenolate. After starting Mycophenolate it seems my cough is better. In January I go in for another CT scan and Pulmonary function test.
Reading everyone’s experiences is a big help. Tracy
