Tracy,

I am just trying to put everything together (and of course I may be wrong as I only have limited data).
Could you possibly have some hypersensitivity reaction to some environmental toxin? Which could be causing the combination of muscle weakness, pulmonary fibrosis (or some other respiratory problem)?



I know my idea sounds like a chapter from "House", but possibly worth persuing?

If it sounds unlikely or ridiculous just ignore it.
