Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi all, I live in the Dallas area and just got back from spending a 4 week vacation in Los Angeles. I took the kids to see their grandparents and friends. While I was there I was able to get an appointment at UCLA-Pulmonary & Critical Care. The pulmonologist said that I did in fact have Dermatomyositis and NSIP. He said that this will not turn into Pulmonary Fibrosis. I'm looking for any opinions on this. Sounds too good to be true. My pulmonologist here has always taken the " wait & see " road. This pulmonologist at UCLA was confident about his evaluation. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, 40/Tx: IPF, NSIP dx 09/2007 VATS Pneumomediastinum, Atrial Fibrillations, Hiatal Hernia, and possibly Dermatomyositis 125mg Imuran / 10mg Prednisone / 25mg Metoprolol / 1,000mg Niaspan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
