I'm based in the UK but I'm looking worldwide for ra patients with lung disease. I'm going through this myself, I'm 38 and a single mum of four plus fostering one extra, I was diagnosed with RA in 2014 with rapid onset severe RA anti CCP positive, by the end of 2014 I'd been hospitalised with "methotrexate poisoning and damage to my right lower lobe." I was rapidly and fully disabled. If you have lung involvement caused by your RA, or are an RA patients wanting to know more about this manifestation of the disease, then please do come join us, together we need not battle alone, breathe easy folks :)
