I'm feeling pretty upbeat right now if everything will just work out right. My realtor called and said that he has a couple who are very interested in my house. I will be showing it to them Monday morning. There is also a house for rent across the street from my daughter. If it doesn't rent before I find out about the buyers I can live near my daughter too. I have money set aside so that I could pay the rent but I can't get into anything unless I know that my house is sold. My daughter lives in a nice housing developement with a lake so I'm afraid that it won't last long. Also i have my o2 setup for going on the boat and visiting my daughter next month so if I don't move I can still go on my trip.Beverley Joy, 71, IPF 1-09, Sjogren's, Fibromyalgia, diabetes, Idaho

introduction> > > > > > > > > > > > Hi Everyone. I was diagnosed with ILD a year ago but basically thought the doctor was wrong so I stayed in denial until recently. I might still be in denial on some level. I am seeing a great pulmonologist at University of Washington in Seattle who is researching GERD and ILD. I had a series of unusual events that occurred that led him to think my ILD might be exacerbated by GERD or maybe caused? He won't be specific. I get the impression that they don't really know if GERD can cause ILD or not. So, this week I am undergoing a host of tests for my lungs, heart and GERD. For the most part I am doing really well and the only medication I am on is omraprazole for the GERD and my hormone replacements. I am able to play tennis but if I run for a few balls in a row my heart rate jumps up really high. It comes back down again quickly so I have decided for now to only play with people who have an understanding of how important it is for me to take my time between points even though that is breaking the rules of tennis. I am suspecting that I should probably switch to another form of exercise that is less 'fast start'. Every thing I read about this disease is pretty depressing. I'd love to talk to someone else out there who is doing well who and is stable. I wonder how long I can stay stable and also if anyone has had any success getting their ILD arrested in development by managing their GERD.> >>
