    I have had Sarcoidosis Pulmonary Fibrosis since early 2018.  As Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease I was prescribed Celebrex for muscle and joint pain which worked reasonably well. I was taken off Celebrex in September of this year because of concerns voiced by my Cardiologist and unfortunately the muscle and joint pain came back with a vengeance. I’m    Back on Celebrex and the muscle and joint pain is tolerable.

    After an exacerbation  this spring my pulmonary function decreased significantly and I was put on OFEV and use supplementary oxygen when walking or exercise.
