Particularly for echoes and en bloc, and those who are willing to share their insights :

My pulmonologist gave me several tests for autoimmune diseases.

As you know, my Sjorgren's, RA and Celiac/Gluten have been negative in my earlier tests for the PN. But, I have some symptoms for these conditions, though, it may not be conclusive. Example, for Sjorgren's - I have dry eyes but no dry mouth, for RA - I have nodules in my fingers and painful but findings was OA, for Celiac/Gluten - my result was negative, but I have neurological symptoms.

I still waiting for the results of the recent tests .

I am interested to know if the lung problem is autoimmune mediated, and treatment has been administered, is the the lung problem resolved (or at least stop the progression)?

Thank you.
