My husband was given prednisone for a while, even though his lungs were ok. Doc wanted to reduce swelling from some inflammation that caused constant small coughing. Which is why I made my husband go to doc in the first place. Found the IPF, but stopped the coughing…
Good luck!

I have been on Cellcept since early 2021 and have tolerated it well. I was diagnosed with ILD in 2020. My symptoms were never bad and I would say I am asymptomatic now. I am taking 500 mg/day. My PFTs are normal so I am hoping it will be discontinued next year and that my condition is stable when weaned from the drug. I am 79 and female. I have an outstanding pulmonologist.
