Hi Summer thank you, I am in touch with someone from the Lung Foundation who has the same illness as me and is giving me good feedback.

Hi mattcass

Sorry to hear your having probs with the meds and it's affecting your lungs? This is a problem that I am having too, cannot go on any of the RA meds due to having fibrosis of the lungs..hope you get sorted out soon.
