Thank you so much for your thoughtful videos. I was recently diagnosed with PPFE. Your videos have been a tremendous help to me. Please know that you are helping so many people with lung disease by taking such care with the subject matter and delivery of your videos.
Wow.This is the first comprehensive video I’ve seen about ILD specifically for patients and in terms easily understood!! This should be required for everyone with ILD- if that was even possible. I’ve personally been searching for a year. I have NSIP and was hit hard and fast. Thank you for clarifying what my doctors (whom I really like) have not been able to tell me so succinctly.
Thank you doctor for making these videos. I am a 2021 severe covid survivor, I was sedated & ventilated for a month then had a tracheostomy for some time there after. I spent 3 months in ICU, 2 weeks in a general ward, I was given an honorary send off by the medical staff, I was told that I was the only survivor out of 10 who did not make it. I then went for 3 wks to a rehabilitation hospital. In total I spent 4 months away from home. I now have lung fibrosis and iron deficiency anaemia. I do have underlying diseases such as Scleroderma, Sjogrens Syndrome, High Blood Pressure. I'm from South Africa
Thank you. You light my way to a better life. I got ILD because of Covid and it's been really difficult because I'm on 24hour oxygen... but I'm Alive and doing what I can for others and myself. Again thank you for sharing the knowledge. 20:28
Thankyou so much for your kind, sensible advice. I have copd and have recently taken up swimming 3 times a week. I leave my oxygen exchanger by the steps and have a breather every 2nd length. It really helps you to take deeper breaths. You are very encouraging and supportive, it is very much appreciated.
Thank you Doctor . What you said about having a lot of different issues and feeling that you’re confused is so true! I’ve been at a loss for probably 10 years. I have Lupus, Sjogren’s was just diagnosed with ILD from a CAT scan, I have an aneurysm in my spleen, I’m dealing with a kidney stone right now. My weight is great, I’ve never smoked, a good attitude, but I’m totally exhausted all the time, and I’ve been having breathing problems that I thought was just due to my exhaustion from lupus. I think I’ve finally figured it out. They are all connected. Just no one helped me to understand that except for watching these couple videos of yours, so I get it now. Thank you so very much!
I'm so thankful I found your video,I was diagnosed almost 12month ago, the information you have give to me makes things so much clearer. Whenever I see my specialist I find it difficult to understand what he is telling me and I can't seem to absorb what he is telling me. Thanks again❤
I am so glad I found your videos. I have been struggling mentally over my ILD since diagnosed in 2021. I was not getting much information from my pulmonologist and what I read on the Internet scared me to death. After watching your videos I am feeling much more empowered in living the life I have left with joy and hope. Please continue to provide these very important and helpful videos.
I was diagnosed in 2022, it's frightening to start with, but I have accepted it now. Started on OFEV 3 months ago, but I am having some serious side effects, told to stop them and wait until I feel better before trying again just to make sure it's definitely the tablets that are causing the problems!
Thank you for your Videos in Pulmonary Fibrosis. My Father has Severe Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis. I appreciate all your knowledge and thank you for sharing it with everyone.
Thank you Dr Stefan for taking the time to make these videos explaining the different lung conditions. I was hospitalised 16 months ago after having Covid and then pneumonia. I was initially told I had Pulmonary Fibrosis and my world was turned upside down. I the months after that diagnosis I have been told it could be Sarcoidosis and then more recently that it could be Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. I had been on a high dose of prednisolone for months, the side effects have affected just as much as the lung problems making my weight increase significantly, I've become far more irritable, restless I had never heard of any of these conditions prior to diagnosis and each time I looked up the symptoms and prognosis I was more confused. Your videos are helping me understand the different conditions in words I can understand which is far more than my hospital team have done so far. Once again thank you
I’m newly diagnosed and got ILD after Covid. I went down the rabbit whole with IPF and really did think that it was terminal. I’ve also been diagnosed with antisynthetase and Sjögren’s syndromes. I haven’t cancelled my vacation plans because now I’m hopeful after speaking to my rheumatologist.
This is great content, thank you! I am doing my best to learn more about my condition and look things up, but alas, there's just not a lot of info about pulmonary alveola proteinosis out there.
Wife just got this in Arkansas , sad.......Its all new for us scary ...Think you are doing a good job explaining it. A little more at ease watching your film.
I have this 4 years. I just get short of breath and very tired. I will ask my doctor about your medicine. I have GERD bad but Goo weight. Good video. I do sit all the time!
Can you discuss stem cell therapy research that is currently ongoing. Also zinc and nad+ and resveratrol and sirt 1 enzyme supplement that is used for IF treatment. Good informative videos.
Is it known whether a factor might be a metabolic disorder such as what Thomas Seyfried at Boston University has found, which is the primitive, ancient, pathway of fermentation that his team and,we read, others, have confirmed regarding at least some cancers, but acting interstitially in IPF?
I m from India I got diagnose with ILD NSIP in Jul this year, my brother passed away in Oct 2019 with same disease and he was diagnosed with ILD NSIP in May 2018, during his journey we had very few information also he was very healthy hence he could not get much symptoms and when we found he had maximum scaring and in my condition I have scaring equal to none but yes I do have thickening,during activities my oxygen goes down to 89 to 93 and during resting it’s 98 to 99, I m on aggressive treatment taking MMFs 1080 mg and 20 mg of steroids, I do breathing exercise and the oxygen therapy which doctor has explained is amazing and I will do that now I m 42 years my brother passed away at the age 31 years.
I gave up when I had my first heart attack in 2003. I gave up again after my second one in 2008. Than I had my third, fourth and fifth one and gave up every time. By 2022 I gave up so much that after 16 stents, and a reserve fractional flow of 0.57 to the LAD, I had by-pass surgery and was fairly certain they were going to botch the surgery (Have you ever done an anastomosis using a continuous stich with 7-0 proline on a beating heart? I used to suture up arteries with 6-0 proline and I never mastered a continuous stitch, and that artery was held up with spaghetti straps and wasn't beating). I gave up before they rolled me into the ER. I gave up on this disease about 5 minutes after getting the radiology report. Yep, some of your patients can read a CT scan, and knows all those fancy acronyms you guys use. Did I mention all my previous MI's. Of course not. Heart attack works just fine for me. So back to giving up. It's worked for me so far, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Now I'm going to do a great big bong hit and get back to giving up.
Thanks for your videos ! I was diagnosed with ILD 4 years ago following a bad flu in 202 0. The scans indicate no further lung scarring. Could this be temporary do you think or permanent ? Its been stable for over 2 years now. The radiology is " suggestive of IPF" but not " conclusive" according to my doctor. I suspect I might have had Covid at the beginning og the Pandemic, but no tests were carried out, long delays between doctors appointments etc. I'm hopeful but confused. Any ideas about what's going on ?
Thank you for your Videos regaurding Pulmonary Fibrosis. My Father has Progressive Severe Pulmonary Fibrosis. My first Question is why was he never offered a Lung Transplant? My second question is why did they wait until he almost nearly died last month from lack of oxygen to put him on the Medication. We tried the Natural route for a month. Now today he started the

MRI will visualize large features like honeycombing or coarse fibrosis, but HRCT is the tech needed to detect fine details like reticulation and micronodules. Hence, HRCT is the gold standard for ILD imaging.
I have a separate channel to discuss issues related to interstitial lung disease (ILD) if you are interested: www.youtube.com/@InterstitialLungDisease
The way you blend science with practical advice is truly inspiring. Thank you for being a reliable source of health knowledge

This is me also. Got ILD due to covid this past August, and I am on 24-hour continous oxygen.
Thank you Doctor, I’m having ILD from last 3 years. Still under medication. You explained the purpose of living very well.

This is an awesome, very informative video. I'm newly diagnosed and confused and anxious about it. Dr. Stanel's advice is well received. Thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Stefan, for this video. It's really helpful; I'm being diagnosed with an IDL, possibly NSIP, according to the HRCT scan radiologist.

Can it be diagnose by MRI?

An oxygen tank is God's way of telling you've over stayed your welcome.
