MDJunction to me

"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times." (nvrsubtle)

HELLO THERE!!!

I am a new member and not too sure how this all works. I have been given the diagnosis of IPF. I found out 2 years ago. It is a scary situation and an unsure one. This summer is being especially difficult because of the heat and humidity. I live in Louisiana, so that should let you know how bad the heat etc. is. Smile Anyway, HELLO to everyone and I am hoping I can manage to use this site for communication with you all.

BLESSINGS, JACKIE Smile

Hi Jackie and welcome to our group. I am so sorry that you have to deal with IPF. It is not a pleasant disease and as you say the heat and humidity this year adds to your troubles. Are you on Oxygen?

Keep in touch,

Tony
