scarysanity"I stumbled across MDJunction in late June of 2012 by accident while reearhing Anxiety infrmation. MDJ has become a haven for me during my darkest days, yet has allowed me to reach out and help others through my experiences. I have found so many wonderful people/friends here on MDJ. Without it I would not be the person I am today!" (scarysanity)

I just have found this website. I became ill in Sept 2000 but was not diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis until Sept 2005. So glad to find it.

So good to hear from you. I was really doing well but after the Christmas holidays I think I wore myself out. I got a lung infection so spent 10 days on Levaquin. I am not sure if I am over it or not. I have learned that I need to slow down when I start to feel tired. I have not had to go on oxygen yet. My younger sister who is 50 was diagnosed 2 yrs ago and she is on oxygen. I get to go to a transplant support group meeting tomorrow and am really looking forward to it. Where in the country are you? Take care.Vona
