Symptoms started in beginning of 2017. Diagnosis confirmed early 2018. diagnosis more in center upper lungs and not as much in base which is apparently a more severe diagnosis. No requirement for oxygen. C-scans relatively unchanged over the years. Oximeter results always in 90’s. Principal symptoms are fatigue walking even on slightest incline not apparent on level surfaces, extreme fatigue when bending over and constant phlegm, Am thankful my symptoms are relatively mild compared to other participants in forum.
