it could be a sign of iron deficiency

Chronic interstitial lung disease is diagnosed infrequently in the general population at an incidence of 29 cases per 100 000 person-years [1]. Sarcoidosis, connective tissue disease, pulmonary hemorrhage syndromes, and environmental agents account for 40% of cases; most other cases are categorized as cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [1]. Biopsy shows that most patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis have usual interstitial pneumonia, heralding a grim prognosis, and that the remainder have desquamative interstitial pneumonia [2] or nonspecific interstitial pneumonia [3]. Only 10% of cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are biopsy-confirmed [1, 4]. Consequently, clinicians must consider alternative diagnoses, including the three well-established occupational interstitial lung diseases: mineral pneumoconioses, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia after acute inhalation injury.

thats not a word...its pneumosilicosis   pneumo meaning lung and silicosis meaning condition resulting from crystals of minerals

infections, allergies, or even malignancies can cause such results. you should show it to your doctor.

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.

pneumonoultranmicroscopicsil-\nlicovolcanoconiosis\n\nIt's the name of a lung disease and if I spelled it correctly it has 45 letters.

It's a diease of the respritory system, commonly affecting people who work around the fumes of a volcano.  Thus, pneumerultramicrosphicilicoVOLCANiconiousis.

What are the symptoms?

Concrete dust contains high concentrations of silica which can irritate the lungs and if exposure is great enough it can cause silicosis.\n Under OSHA regulations whenever dust is generated, air sampling is required.

There are many.  First I would write down when and what you are doing when this happens.  Arthritis, RSD, Hypocalcimeia,,, I have had the same thing and it took two years before the doctors could do tests and eliminate each.  Surgery and alot of work from myself keeping a daily notebook regarding my symptoms.  In the end I had all of the ones I mentioned.  You need a good doctor of immunology who can tests and find out exactly what needs to be done and find a course of treatment.

Exposure : \n  \nThe inorganic compounds do not penetrate the body via skin like some organic compounds, such as certain \ntricarbonyls. \n  \nInhalation of dust or fume is the major route of entry in occupational manganese poisonning. Also inhaled large particles are ingested after mucociliary clearance from the lungs. Gastrointestinal absorption is generally low (5%). Very few poisonings have occured after ingestion. \n  \n  \nAcute intoxication : \n  \n1 - Metal fume fever : \nInhalation of manganse oxide fumes may cause a flu-like syndrome similar to " metal fume fever ", treatment is \nsymptomatic. \n  \n2 - Chemical pneumonia : \nIn the case of severe exposure to fumes or dust of various manganese salts, a severe chemical pneumonia may occur. \n  \n3 - Acute intoxication by ingestion : \nAcute intoxication by ingestion rarely occurs and is caused by accidental or voluntary ingestion of a manganese salt (as the ingestion of tablets of potassium permaganate), this chemical causes massive burns of the digestive tract, oedema of the upper respiratory tract and circulatory collapse. \n  \nChronic intoxication : \n  \nThe primary target organ of manganese toxicity is the central nervous system, particularly the extra-pyramidal system ; the lungs may also be injuried in the case of chronic exposure to manganese. \n  \n1-Central nervous system : \n  \nNeurological symptoms are caused by inhalation of fumes or dusts of manganese. \nThe extra-pyramidal system is the main target organ of manganese. \nExposure to heavy concentrations of dusts or fumes for as little as three months may produce the condition, but usually cases develop after 1-3 years of exposure. \nIn manganese mines where most cases have occurred, the disease has appeared after 10 to 20 years of exposure. \nThe symptoms may simulate progressive bulbar paralysis, postencephalitic Parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, \namyotrophic lateral sclerosis and progressive lenticular degeneration(Wilson's disease). \n  \nThe best way to diagnose, at an early stage, manganese intoxication is neurological examination. \nA standardized questionnaire of neurological symptoms is helpful. \n  \nHere are some symptoms, among others, to be looked for in chronic manganese intoxication : \n  \n- nervousness \n- irritability \n- memory loss \n- tiredness \n- insomnia \n- muscle weakness \n- muscle pain \n- trembling fingers \n- stiffness of limbs \n- difficulty with fine movements \n- stuttering \n- hoarse voice \n- urinary problems \n- impotence. \n  \nAt physical examination your doctor should look for signs of an extra-pyramidal syndrome at its beginning. \n  \nLaboratory and diagnostic testing in manganese toxicity: \n  \nLaboratory or diagnostic test \n Abnormal findings \n \nUrinary levels \n >10 mg/L (normal reference, range 0.5 to 9.8 mg/L; up to 50 mg/L for occupational exposure) \n \nWhole blood levels \n >19 mg/L (normal reference, range 8.0-18.7 mg/L) \n \nSerum levels \n >1.3 mg/L (normal reference, range, 0.3-1.3 mg/L \n \nElectroencephalographic parameters  Low-amplitude, weakened rhythms \n \nNeuropsychiatric testing \n Decreased memory, decreased reaction time, decreased motor coordination \n \nCT scan, magnetic resonance imaging \n Radiodense accumulations of manganese in affected areas, abnormalities in globus pallidus, caudate nucleus, putamen \n \nPositron emission tomography \n Normal fluorodopa scan \n \nTreatment : \n  \nAt the beginning of the intoxication, it seems that a chelation treatment with calcium EDTA may favor an improvement of the clinical picture. At an advanced stage of the intoxication this treatment is ineffective. In this case, the treatment is identical to Parkinson's disease (levodopa).The usefulness of this treatment is however contoversial.
