@arbust91
Thank you for your suggestion.
I live in Melbourne, Australia and I have just checked on the internet and there is only one ILD clinic and it is connected to a public hospital which does trials.
I will look into it further.
Have not been able to find a pulmonologist - they seem to be connected to sleep and respiratory only.
Have not got anywhere with my specialist who only recommends prednisolone which I stopped taking as I had vision problems. His suggestion is that I cut the tablet in half and see if that helps.
Thank you for your comments which are much appreciated,
Liz
