I have read your updated information.  You note lft’s were done.  Conventionally, that is an abbreviation for liver function tests, and that is how I will interpret it.  That you are still experiencing “sharp stabbing pains in lungs” suggests that current therapy, even if appropriate, is not effective.  The remainder of your update does not alter my original recommendations.  I urge you to share my recommendations with your current physicians, including the pulmonary specialist, and should they choose to not act upon them, that you consider seeking yet another opinion at the closest University Medical Center or at a major medical center such as the Mayo Clinic.

Good luck.

National Jewish contacted us to ask for clarification regarding what you mean by "lft tests".  To us "lft tests" are liver function tests.
