| Best advice for PF symptom management |
I was dx in 2015 as ILD. Likely Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. In December after my PFT and CT scan showed some decline worse than it has been and my Diffusion at 33% I was dx with IPF and referred up to the UWMC, ILD Clinic. My new Dr. strongly believes that it is not IPF but rather is auto immune related (likely mixed connective tissue disorder) Non Specific Interstitial Pneumonitis (NSIP). So it appears my dx is a working dx. So far my best advice for management is attitude. Do your very best every day to live your life and remain strong and positive. Remember we are so much more than our lungs!!!
