Hi dawnbeaven

Have you tried reposting on the BLF site? You might have more replies about this as it's lung related.

All the best.

I am also diagnosed with lupus (Mixed Connective tissue Disease) with lung disease (Pulmonary Fibrosis). I have been told I cannot have lung transplant because I also have Gastric Reflux.

You will get more answers about the transplant if you post on theBritish Lung Foundation site.

All the best.
