    How did you arrive at those large doses? What brand did you buy?

    Thanks

    Hi Zee

    There is a new diagnostic tool, called Envisa Genomic Classifier.  It is performed on samples taken during a bronchoscopy. It is specific only for IPF and cannot identify other causes. The bronchoscopy itself should be done anyway,as it can provide answers.  I have refused a VATS biopsy and I was told later, by UCSF, that it would be too risky for me.

    Best of Luck

    Hi Nan

    I am very sorry that you are having the cramps.  Canada Dry and Schwepps both make a diet tonic with less or no sugar. That’s what ai use. You must try it.  Hope you get your CT moved up.  Have you had a Pulmonary Function Test yet? If not then you certainly should, ASAP.  Hope they can give you something for the cough. Depends if its a drey or productive cough.

    Wishing the Best for you

    Hi All

    If you don’t like the fizz, you can let it go flat and if you don’t like the taste, a shot of gin and a little lime helps.

    Take care

    Hi Sue and Nan

    I have had chest cramps and I thought I was having a heart attack.  Also have leg and foot cramps during the night.  Try drinking 3-4oz of tonic water, I use diet tonic water, and the cramps should stop in a couple of minutes. Also, I am on my 3rd pulmonologist and have been to 2 university ILD clinics. I haven’t trusted any of them. Hope this one works, he has about 40 years in practice.

    Good Luck
