lung fibrosis with acid reflux with tightening of skin happens in scleroderma and mixed connective tissue disease. penicillamine 200 mg twice a day helps with pantop D for acid reflux. unfortunately only steroids work for lung fibrosis which increases acidity. low dose home oxygen therapy is needed when breathing is affected.
