This is a broad topic with a lot of variables depending on the particular nature of the source of the problem, your age, how much damage is present currently, as well as some presenting characteristics of your disorder.  So any average number might not be too helpful to you as YOUR condition may not be average at all.  \n\n"Estimation of mortality rates is affected by the same factors that make estimation of incidence difficult. In the series of 99 patients discussed above, the probability of surviving 24, 48, or 60 months was 83%, 72%, and 64%, respectively. Mean survival interval from onset in this group of patients was 47 months. Factors associated with poor outcome were the presence of pulmonary hypertension at the time of diagnosis and a final diagnosis of DIP or pulmonary vascular disease. Other smaller series also suggest that patients with DIP have a very poor prognosis, particularly infants. This is in marked contrast to adult ILD, in which DIP diagnosed histologically indicates steroid responsiveness and a better prognosis."  Quotation from the second reference.\n\nCheck out the references below for more information.  Print them out and discuss the parts that are not so clear, with your physician.  Most doctors are pleased that their patient is becoming well informed on their illness and will be happy to help.  Good luck.

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis\n\n- pretty sure it's a lung disease caused by volcanic ash. Believe it or not, I spelled this in 3rd grade :). My teacher was looking for the longest word in English to give me and I got it right! Still proud of that one ;) \n\nEDIT: it isn't appearing in full on here for some reason.

It IS "Pneumonia", and can be caused by a bacterium, usually Streptococcus pneumoniae, also called pneumococcus.\n\nHope that is what you were looking for.

Hello,\nI don't know anything about this disease sorry.\nI would suggest you get another opinion from another doctor. Have more test run. Blood work, nuc meds, MRI on her lungs if this is where this is found.  etc., etc.\nThis can be caused by a number of things. The important thing for you and your daughter is to make sure this is what she has....Never trust one doctor in serious medical problems. \nYou did not say exactly what or where this disease was found I am assuming the lungs?\nPS: If your doctor did not suggest other test to confirm this he should have.

Most likely you are thinking of a respiratory infection that comes from breathing aerosolized Mycobacterium avium from an improperly maintained hot tub.\n\nSee this web site: \nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hot-tub-lung/AN00660

Antibiotics (often double or triple drug therapy) along with aggressive surgical removal of the diseased tissue is required immediately for an optimal outcome. Without early treatment, bacterial infection enters the bloodstream and can cause delirium, heart attack, respiratory failure, and death.

Gee, my sister has had it a couple times in her life, she currently has been off work since the week before Christmas. \n\nShe was on antibiotics, and was going weekly for chest xrays and pulmanery function testing.  She is still off work (until June), but has finally had clear results. \n\nI would say however, it depends on the lung damage.  Check with your doctor, each person may have different results. \n\nGood luck.

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis \n\nMeaning? \n\nA lung disease.

Yes, there is limited (but rapidly growing) medical literature on this.  Go to Pubmed and try a search with  terms such as: microflora, dysbiosis, arthritis, inflammation, and/or lipopolysacharrides (LPS).\n\nGood luck!

Sepsis (or blood infection) is a condition in which your body is fighting a severe infection. If you become "septic," you will likely be in a state of low blood pressure termed "shock." This condition can develop either as a result of your body’s own defense system or from toxic substances made by the infecting agent (such as a bacteria, virus, or fungus).\n\n    * People at risk\n\n          o People whose immune systems (the body’s defense against microbes) are not functioning well because of an illness, such as cancer or AIDS, are more prone to have sepsis.\n\n          o Because their immune systems are not completely developed, very young babies may get sepsis if they become infected and are not treated in a timely manner. Often, if they develop signs of an infection such as fever, infants have to receive antibiotics and be admitted to the hospital.\n\n          o The elderly population, especially those with other medical illnesses such as diabetes, may be at increased risk as well.\n\nMany different microbes can cause sepsis. Although bacteria are most commonly the cause, viruses and fungi can also cause sepsis. Infections in the lungs (pneumonia), bladder and kidneys (urinary tract infections), skin (cellulitis), abdomen (such as appendicitis), and other organs (such as meningitis) can spread and lead to sepsis. Infections that develop after surgery can also lead to sepsis.\n\nSepsis Symptoms\n\n    * If you have sepsis, often you will have fever. Sometimes, though, the body temperature may be normal or even low.\n\n    * You may also have chills and severe shaking.\n\n    * Your heart may be beating very fast and your breathing rapid.\n\n    * Confusion, disorientation, and agitation may be seen as well as dizziness and decreased urination.\n\n    * Some people who have sepsis develop a rash on their skin. The rash may be a reddish discoloration or small dark red dots throughout the body.\n\n    * You may also develop pain in the joints at your wrists, elbows, back, hips, knees, and ankles.

Pneumonia is an illness of the lungs and respiratory system in which the alveoli (microscopic air-filled sacs of the lung responsible for absorbing oxygen from the atmosphere) become inflamed and flooded with fluid.\nPneumonia can result from a variety of causes, including infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Pneumonia may also occur from chemical or physical injury to the lungs, or indirectly due to another medical illness, such as lung cancer or alcohol abuse.\nMost cases of pneumonia can be treated without hospitalization. Typically, oral antibiotics, rest, fluids, and home care are sufficient for complete resolution. However, people with pneumonia who are having trouble breathing, people with other medical problems, and the elderly may need more advanced treatment. If the symptoms get worse, the pneumonia does not improve with home treatment, or complications occur, the person will often have to be hospitalized.\n\nFrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumonia

End stage of any disease means the disease is terminal and you don't have too long left to live without serious treatment.  Don't panic, there are options.  Nine years ago I had end stage pulmonary disease and less than a year to live.  I recieved a double lung transplant and am doing well.  I also have a brother, who like you is facing end stage liver disease and has been informed that he has no more than two years to live.  He is at this moment being worked up for a liver transplant.  Don't give up hope, talk to your doctor about what options may be available ro you and very importantly what youcan do to otherwise maintain your health.  Whatever happens you will need your strength.  Good luck and if the transplant route is available to you and you want more information or moral support, please feel free to contact me.
