Re: INFO - Can rheumatoid arthritis affect your lungs?

[Guest guest]

My hubby is being evaluated for a double lung transplant because of RA effecting

his lungs. Always check on a cough that doesn't go away. My hubby had the cough

before he started with the joint pain.

This lung involvement actually sounds more like what my rheumy would call

UCTD which I have in addition to RA and Crohns.
