Hello, Joni. You post them right here, just like you did with this one. 🙂

My symptoms started during a course of interferon/ribivirin I was receiving for Hep C. My Physicians say it was a coincidence, but since they have no other explanation for my NSIP, I'm skeptical. What do you think? Could the interferon have tripped up my immune system into attacking my lungs? Thanks, Cathy B.

I have NSIP and was diagnosed 3 yrs ago. What should i be looking for as for as progression?

REPLY

I have NSIP and have severe joint pain. I am also weaning from prednisone. Could the joint pain be from the withdrawals are some type of auto immune disease that has not surfaced yet?

REPLY

My 70 year old mother will be evaluated in a couple of weeks to determine in she is a lung transplant candidate. If she is, and if she gets a transplant, is she looking at anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life?

REPLY

This might be an odd question, but if a patient gets a single lung transplant does the doc remove the other bad lung also?

REPLY

If one has NSIP, is there any physical activities that should be avoided like singing or snorkeling?

REPLY

I posted earlier of the severe joint pain. I failed to mention that I have been to a rheumatologist and all came back neg.
