Wow....wish my consultant knew all this...my first time with COP I was very ill.. hospital for 2 weeks as it took around a week for correct diagnosis...I recovered well though with a small scarring on one lung. Unfortunately about 3 years later I had it again...only in hospital for 1 week though as my history was available and I was treated correctly immediately. Took much longer to recuperate though and I developed Type 1 diabetes due to Steroids...that reversed when steroids ceased...it's a horrible illness..although I initially didn't feel very unwell I was told a bed in ICU had my name on it...just in case!
Thank you for all the information...x

On other interesting thing, is that BOOP can recur to some patients when reducing the cortisone. Well it happened to me when it was reduced from 15mg to 10mg (prezolon). Now I am back to the original doze I had, 50 mg. And the funny thing is that all tests are clean (blood, immunological and BAL).

Really appreciate this. Could you please tell whether AFOP a subcategory of COP or IPF? Thank you.

Can you slow down please. I could barely understand what you are saying half the time. I just got diagnosed with Cryptogenic pnemonia 7 days ago. In hospital with maximum amount if steroids, antibiotics, oxygen mask and breathing treatments every 4 hours. I’m not making any progress. So I was excited to watch your video explaining it. You’re talking way to fast for to try and explain what’s happening to people with this rare lung disease. I

Hey plz talk slowly man. I think there was tiger 🐯 behind you while making video.

Besides being told this is rare? Nobody has anything for me besides a bandaid aka prednisone. Kept me here on earth but honestly no joy in life. After 3 years I stopped it. Now the flare up is 3x worse. I’m putting my foot down on prednisone. The cell cept might or might not help I’ve only been on it a week. This might take 3 months or more to show any progress. Asian meds are awful
