Pulmonary fibrosis worse, Aplastic Anemia better
Bad news: pulmonary fibrosis has gotten worse, but not sure its new job related (new environment, construction in building for mos, & stress exascerbated), or the fact that I've had 4 respiratory illnesses this year (3 between Jan-March (flu twice) and another now which required hospitalization June? I've started on inhalers this year, had 2 medrol packs, oxygen at night & prn.
Good news: Haven't needed 1 blood transfusion since I started the Danazol protocol & came off of it. Platelets are still low, but not low enough to need a transfusion. I'm going back to NIH in August, how're the rest of you?
