I have been diagnosed with interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. The suspected cause was a drug givenfor prostate cancer - CASODEX. There is a direct correlation between casodex and pulmonary disorders. My pulmonary specialist ordered cessation of the drup and immediately order 30 mg of predisone daily. The pf symtoms subsided but I am left with extreme shortness of breath upon exertion,occasional coughing and fatigue immediately following exertion.
I have started taking Neprinol AFD about 6 weeks ago after reading about it on the internet. It seems to have given me more energy and a shorter recovery period for fatique. I have hopes that it will eventually begin to help with the dissolving of the fibrosis and I am willing to wait several months before assessing the results. Has anyone experienced success with these drugs or any other drugs/supplements? Posted on 05/17/09, 01:05 pm |
