As the title says ended up in A&E for a second time in a week with breathing issues. Usual nubelization had no effect neither did antibiotics. This led to Dr's suspecting rheumatoid lung disease.

Trouble is thanks to covid investigations have to be done as outpatient. So just after peoples experiences really so I can prepare myself if you don't mind sharing please.

I have RA and fibromyalgia already so this will be another to add to the list 😞

Hi, I’ve been diagnosed with Rhematoid Lung too. I’ve had RA for 30+ years. Took a long time to get diagnosed. At first was told it was side effects of drugs - changed drugs, then asthma, finally had scans to confirm - 3 years later. Now impossible to see specialist as the clinic is full of Covid lung patients.
