Re: Scared & lonely - hopefully no more

[Guest guest]

Hi ! Welcome to the Air Family. We have lung diseases here of all sizes

and flavors - there are a bunch of them you know. That is why we always sign

our posts with our own particular flavor and location. Sometimes there are

people nearby that we didn't even know existed who understand. Right Wally? We

share a doc and some West Texas sand.

Try to stop looking back and go forward with confidence. It takes a while to

get a handle on everything and then just as you do, things will change. Fact

is, as I'm sure you know, it is a royal pain and sometimes we express that quite

clearly here.

Feel some love . Question away. Bruce and Beth know lots of stuff

about lots of stuff and others do as well. Some of us pop in and out and some

are on a lot. I tend to be a popper, as opposed to a lurker who reads but

rarely posts. Whatever works for you works.

Chin up kiddo!

6 years. I am blown away buy the e-mails I have been reading and I feel totally

embarrassed and ashamed. I have been hiding my head in the sand. I never knew

that sites like this existed until yesterday when I googled IPF. I would like

to talk to people who understand IPF and I am seeing that I have much to learn.

Any who can help or want to help please let me know. Thank you.
