Hi All, Great news The Edinburgh team who took on my case from my local hospital because I had the two illnesses IPF along with RA well the top Consultant in Scotland told me today I don't have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis I just have Pulmonary Fibrosis he did state I am still very ILL but the speed that between the Idiopathic and the RA should slow down but again cannot guarantee the RA wont attack my Lungs again, He was astounded when I told him me and Fran walked 3 or 4 mile every time the RA let me out,He said away you go see you at Xmas, My visit to my Rheumy doc was a disaster I will post you an update tomorrow, Just opened a lovely bottle of wine, Cheers mattcass

good news for you MC, have a lovely evening xxx
What good news mattcass- well perhaps better news than you had feared!
I have PF started by Sjogren's - the series of chemo treatments i had about 18months ago seemed to calm down my immune system and slow down the advance of the PF - they say it has not got much worse in the last 12 months. Unfortunately I have developed pulmonary hypertension which is making me very breathless (also due to SS), but the Brompton PH team are treating me for this so am hopeful that will also slow down or improve also.
Take care and enjoy your wine!!
Maggie
