I hadn't seen any research on it either but, given the evidence that it reduces inflammation, it seems natural to me that the inflammation caused by my lung disease has been reduced by taking the glp-1. I did write to a sarcoidosis research group with my results but did not hear back from them. People who have known me for a long time remark on how my breathing issues have disappeared. It’s quite amazing after 30 years of struggle. I attribute the improvement primarily to the drug rather than the weight loss as I have gained and lost significant weight a few times since I was initially diagnosed. The difference is the drug. Even had I not lost a pound, I would be praising the use of zepbound if for only this reason. It has literally changed my life.

@dsisko from someone with a different ling disease , bronchiectasis , I totally get it and am thrilled for you . Lung disease is a beast and trumps everything thing else . I’m only about 10-15 lbs overweight , but have been considering trying a GLP , just to see if my lungs would improve . To my knowledge , there’s no evidence based research for bronchiectasis & GLP 1’s…if it would help. The potential side effects , especially permanent hair loss keep me from making the leap and trying .
