Lung fibrosis can be seen as an “aggravated asthma that intrudes deeper into the lungs.” 4.7. Overview Inflammatory Disease of the Respiratory System In fig. 4.1., the phenomena of the acute Dissolving and chronic tendency airway diseases discussed above have been placed in a dynamic diagram. The right diagram shows the ever-increasing effect of the formative influence from the consolidating nerve-sensory system spreading out into the rhythmic respiratory function. This leads to increasingly chronic diseases. The left diagram represents the diseases related to an expanded dissolving metabolic activity pushing up into the respiratory tract. Here we find the acute and self-limiting diseases. acute sinusitis common cold acute otitis acute hay fever attack acute bronchitis pneumonia chronic sinusitis allergic rhinitis chronic otitis chronic hay fever chronic bronchitis asthma COPD lung fibrosis Fig. 4.1.

4.8. Acute and Chronic Aspects of Illness The symptoms of chronic illness generally progress with exacerbations and remissions. From the viewpoint of chronicity, the symptomatology of the various exacerbations is generally the same and specifically ‘belongs to the patient.’ It would be an extreme exception if the same patient reacted one time with the symptoms of asthma, the next time with the symptoms of epilepsy, and yet another time with chronic intestinal complaints. It is characteristic of a chronic illness that precisely the same symptoms, over the course of time, occur to a varying degree and frequency. There can also be longer periods during which the patient is symptom-free. A second aspect is the acute moment of the exacerbation. Many patients themselves know very well what makes them ill, which ingredients may provoke an exacerbation. In other words: the acute moment is usually provoked by specific factors. Something which the one patient reacts severely to is for another patient with ‘the same disease’ irrelevant, and vice versa. The ‘sameness’ of the disease becomes modified by various individually determined factors that provoke an exacerbation. Many patients are also aware of the lifestyle that can specifically help prevent exacerbations. A change in lifestyle could then help them to improve their own health. 4.8.1. What is the Role of Constitution? When we use phenomenology to look at patients, various symptoms can be recognized as belonging dynamically together. Two symptoms that, at first glance, appear to be clearly different, such as, for example, insomnia and increased muscle tension, can be recognized in their mutual relation and common cause. Thus, a dynamic and coherent picture of — the symptoms of — a disease is created. The description of the asthma patients in Chapter 2 made it clear that, before the first acute moment in the ‘illness’ emerged, there was already a certain innate imbalance, which makes these patients extra sensitive (see figures 3.6., 3.7., and 3.8.).
