I’m 57 and I was diagnosed with autoimmune in 1/2019 it is labeled as Multiple Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD). I was put on Plaquinel and Cell Cept for it. I have had a cough since 2018 just bad when I had bouts of illness coming on. Then in 1/2021 was so winded using stairs and carrying laundry and could not get past a fever for 16 days I was told I had CoVID pneumonia even though I had no positive test and no antibodies. They kept telling me it takes time to go away by March I demanded they take a further look and they redid the X-ray and found that the lungs looked worse then January they then ordered CT and HRCT and confirmed it was pulmonary fibrosis that my autoimmune had attacked my lungs. Still on cellcept just increased and started OFEV but am struggling with the side effects. Auto immune really does attack all other organs eventually.

Yes I have Albuterol inhaler and nebulizer inhaler and yes I find it helps bring the mucous up easier. I’m not on any oxygen and have Interstitial lung caused from Multiple connective tissue disease.
