hi,
She is having systemic sclerosis and skim thickening, PAH and ILD is part of the disease.
These changes are irreversible. I think she is receiving optimal treatment. Besides medicine chest physiotherapy, limb physiotherapy is very important. Yoga will help. It's better to homeopathic medicine because there can be drug interactions and you should discuss homeopathic practitioner if proven treatment is there or not. The medicine will help to halt the progression of disease. You should be under the follow up of local rheumatologist.
