The lungs are made of collagen. Rheumatoid arthritis attacks collagen and causes scarring. I don’t think having more collagen would be a good idea.

One of my favorite memories of 2022 was celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with most of our kids and their families at Kalahari resort. There were 15 of us in a 5 bedroom duplex. I Stayed in the duplex due to being on oxygen but everyone else got to go to the pool area. Looking for a lung transplant for 2023. Been on the list for over 2 years.

I think the same way. Even though I have IPF that doesn’t mean I will die from it. No one knows.

I have it done about every 3 months and it is painful. I don’t know if labs do it.

I was recently diagnosed with a hiatal hernia as a result from a cat scan. The gastroenterologist I saw didn’t seem concerned about it. She asked if I had a cough. I do. She said most people who have a cough have a hiatal hernia.
