Hi Melissa;

I share your pain, however, take heart, at age 30 i had chronic pulmonary embolism. I did surgery to remove them from my lungs 8 years ago i am feeling ok, but really i have being having SOB's again that's really frightening. The good thing for you is that you already have your children who you love dearly. I would love to have children now but i am scared that it will make things worse for me. I have being really depress as a result and very often feel i am at the end of the world not knowing what to do. I am a loner and have considered suicide b4. I don't really talk about my situation with anyone, but your article touch my heart as i can empatize with you.

Take care of yourself and let us pray for each other. I know i really want to help others going though the same situation without support like myself. So i am trying to change my career path to become a Respiratory Therapist. While giving hope to others you too can benefit.
