Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) affects over 150,000 people in the United States each year with half of those people dying from this terrible syndrome. Worldwide, the numbers abound. Share your thoughts with us on a more personal level.
At the age of thirty three, my life was changed in ways that I could not imagine. Once a overwhelmed and extremely stressed out attorney, I suddenly found myself critically ill with acute respiratory distress syndrome. The entire summer of 1995, I spent in the hospital, on a vent, fighting for my life. After recoverying, against all odds, my life was forever changed. Now, I work part time and dedicate myself to doing something for others who have had to endrue the life changing affects from ARDS. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"
Welcome to the ARDS Blog, a place where people can find others who have been affected by ARDS, to comment on issues of the day, vent, talk, even find humor in all that has happened with their Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome experiences. Even though there is a message board on the ARDS Foundation website, here we can comment on issues that come up and can be explored more deeply and on a personal level. Come along for the ride...
