I was diagnosed with ILD with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease  in 2015 and put on CellCept, Plaquenil, Bactrim and several others.  As soon as Ofev was offered to autoimmune patients I began at the at the maximum dosage.  So far for the most part I’m holding steady – though my DLCO goes up and down with each test.  Generally in the low to mid 30’s .  I need oxygen only with exertion.  I do attend pulmonary rehab daily which I believe plays a big role in staying relatively steady.
