Short Bio

I was diagnosed  with NSIP in January 2022 after a lung biopsy, but I have had symptoms for about 4-5 years. I am on mycophenolate (Cellcept) and a number of supporting drugs. My most constant symptom over five years has been my cough, although I have several others, including extreme piriformis/back pain within the last few months.
