    Yup, I still have it and now am taking some chemo drugs to try and knock it back. That's the cure for those that the sterioids doesn't work on. Reading a couple articles I find that among a host of thing that can cause BOOP or have strange occurances of it... I keep building a catalog of possibles. One article states that malaria is linked to BOOP. In 1970 I was a guest in the British Military Hospital in Hong Kong for 21 days with falcifurim malaria. Last Tuesday the VA doctor showed me a couple articles where exposure to agent orange shows up a lot of people with BOOP but the government has not admitted or signed off on it. So, no improvement yet. Only been on the chemo stuff a couple weeks. We'll see.
