God bless all of you fighting this IPF. I'm not sure after a year now, what I'm fighting. I had pneumonia twice last summer. The second round was accompanied by sepsis. In January I was diagnosed as having aspiration pneumonia causing ARDS. 58 years old and healed well. Another 2 ct scans later and the pulmonologist said things look "good". BUT is sending me to yet another specialist to have a closer look at my lung scarring. I know little about this scarring business, and he doesnt want to say much until this new specialist looks at my scans. In the meantime, I am active, have excellent 02 saturation levels, no cough whatsoever, no fatigue, no unexplained weight loss, a good appetite, no muscle or joint pain. I thought my nightmare was over. Or is a new one about to begin? The scarring between January and April's scans show no scar growth. I've been waiting on this new specialist since May 10. Appt isnt till June 28. Its frightening to me being in limbo so I thought I'd ask for anyones knowledge. Thank you so much. 🙂
