Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 , Welcome aboard! I'm happy you're here though sad that you have reason to be. It sounds as though you've had many reasons over the years to find good in difficult situations and this will be no different. I despise my lung disease with every fiber of my being (I have NSIP also) but I cannot deny that I've had blessings and good things happen through and even because of my illness. One of those good things is this board. these are some of the best people you'll ever meet anywhere. There is tremendous knowledge, compassion and support here. We're glad you joined us!
