Autoimmune Hepatitis and Churg Strauss Syndrome

Hi , I posted a question before about autoimmune hepatitis and the fact that I had been on diet drugs when I first became ill. Also my daughter alissa was killed in an auto crash at age 17. Now I had what was thought to be severe asthma and after having part of my right lung removed 2 weeks ago was found to have Churg Strauss Syndrome with BOOP. This too is an autoimmune disease. I also have Grave's Disease and had my entire thyroid removed. I am a registered nurse so I have some knowledge of what is going on but need alot more facts. I feel kind of hopeless that I am going to be able to lead a normal life for what I have left due to being so short of breath I can 't walk through my own house. Thanks for any input you can give me.
