ground-glass opacity in lungs

Posted by elizabethjoy @elizabethjoy, Mar 26, 2023

Wondering if all of you have the "ground-glass opacity" in your lungs & what you were told about it? My pulmonologist said it's viral pneumonia from covid & will do another CT scan in a few months to see if has changed it may become chronic.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 Support Group.

Activity is key. First PFT post COVID showed decreased diffusion with normal volumes. I am very active caring for my horses and still working. This year PFT diffusion was improved 6 months after the first test. Also used a treadmill walking which helped me to ditch supplemental oxygen by April last year. I came home from the hospital on 6L beginning of February 2022.

My home is at 2600 ft above sea level; I took a European trip to Italy/Malta, all at sea level and it was great to be able to breathe again. My husband just bought an Inogen G5 portable concentrator and it is superb; we have two batteries. So easy to go and do. I think it weighs 8 lbs.

Hello it's been two years for me with ground glass but I'm able to get off my oxygen until I exercise, are do other activities then I need my oxygen. I thought I was all alone and I found this group I'm crying because someone understands what I'm going threw. My faith in God is very strong God bless you all for sharing and just being here!
