I would love to be friends and talk about our different lung issues. I was diagnosed with COP in 2018 after several bouts of pneumonia. Had to have one lung drained from a pleural effusion. Also grew up with asthma. Then last year I got very short of breath. Doctor did full range of lung tests, blood tests and a lung biopsy. Initially told my ANA was very high but other lupus markers were negative. Was told I have Interstitial Lung Disease, and COPD-Emphysema. Lung biopsy did show the ILD was dormant, leftover injury from radiation (recurrent breast cancer on the chest wall). And yet, most of the time I seem ok???
So, those are the diagnoses. Mull that over and get in touch when you have some time we can chat. You can also text me directly if you want to go that route, let me know.
