What Is The Prognosis With COPD?
What kind of prognosis would I have with COPD.... interstitial lung disease .... cryptogenic organizing pneumonia! Which is severe! Congestive heart failure! We are pretty much out of treatment options. I have been on steroids since I was diagnosed in 2009! Lowest level I can get is ,20 mg then I get sick. Azithromycin 3 times week. Even vented many many times. They say next time may be last. My lungs and heart can t do it!
