I am in respiratory care and I have not heard of this. Once your lungs start with fibrosis, it is like scar tissue and the diffusion capacity is greatly reduced. There are several diseases that can cause fibrosis of the lung tissue including Rhuematoid Arthritis. Once enough of the lung tissue is compromised due to fibrosis, you aren't going to be able to transport O2/CO2 and it's pretty much a death sentence.

Yogasana and Pranayam has helped a lot to improve the diffusion of O2/CO2. Is there any treatment available? If no, what is the expected life after this disease?
