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

Correction: It should be Envesia Genomic Classifier

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
Barry
