Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Does anyone know the difference between cellular and fibrotic NSIP? While I was at National Jewish I was told I had NSIP. When I received the requested written copies of test results and diagnosis, I discovered that as almost a second thought or parenthetical the cellular ad opposed to fibrotic was attached to the NSIP diagnosis. I figure it is a good thing, but haven't been able to find any clarity on the net. I go see my local pulmo-dude next week and am expecting a prescription for oxygen. Tests show I drop like a rock with movement. I am fine (95-96%) seated or with little movement. If I walk down the hall in my home, I drop to 86, but recover in less than 30 seconds. I have a concentrator that I use for exercise or now while I clean house or put away groceries. Not that I notice, but they told me I need to make these adjustments in my lifestyle (and I am listening to them because I really don't know anything about this stuff). I just keep reading and 'listening' to other members. It helps.
