My original DLCO test in June measured 34%, yesterday it was 51%. The doctor said we can make an "assumption" that the medication treatment is helping.I will continue on my current medication, NAC, Azathioprine and Prednisone, tapered down to 15mg instead of 40mg. He ordered oxygen (2) for exertion now. I feel happy and hopeful today! C_53_Familial IPF_5/09Washington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
