Sorry to be slow in reply (I was unavailable yesterday)...and also vague with my response.

But there is really no easy answer to your question. Without having a diagnosis of the exact lung condition no one would be able to answer about treatment, it effectiveness, and/or stopping progression.

Asthma (even adult onset from AI disease) is treatable. Interstitial lung disease is different based upon BOTH severity and what is the underlining AI condition. Without more info, it's impossible to guess.

Let's reassess your question after you get more results.

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.
