Wendy, do not panic, as the interstitial lung disease from lupus (if that's what you have) usually tends to be very mild and does not progress. Mine has been stable for nearly 40 years now.
They are rescanning me in 3 months
Hi.. Sending prayers ๐
I also had some very mild interstitial changes in my own lung CT a couple of years ago. During my years working as an ICU nurse, I saw it in patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, an acute illness that often required ventilatory support during treatment. The type seen with SLE is usually less virulent-not as extensively involved, and can be managed. Glad you're seeing your Provider for follow up. I think that will determine a course of therapy for you. I'm doing well and am active with little or no symptoms. I take no medication for it except for a couple of puffs of inhaled Albuterol before exercise-if I remember!
Thanks for sharing
