Not bronchiectasis but ? Connective tissue lung disease

[Scottiedottie]

Wrote previously about my poor care but today saw a brilliant GP who works part-time in respiratory in hospital. He explained in detail my recent High Resolution CT which shows I don't have bronchiectasis but thinks it might be connective tissue lung disease connected with my autoimmune disease..? I have psoriatic arthritis, IGa deficiency, IBS etc. Not the best news but feel someone is finally taking me seriously. Had chronic cough and sputum for 4 months and even respiratory consultant not helpful. GP today started me on Mucodine and Fostair. I'm seeing immunology in 3 weeks so hopefully that will add to the diagnosis and treatment plan.

So pleased someone has sat down with you at last. Good luck with immunology. Mine are great and treat me as a whole rather than just the immunosuppression.
