Prioritizing Self-care
For those with a debilitating disease, a caregiver is an essential part of life, often sacrificing their own needs out of devotion to a family member or loved one. November’s National Family Caregivers Month allows us to share appreciation for those unsung heroes who make a difference for patients every day. I am sharing my story as a pulmonary fibrosis (PF) caregiver and Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) Ambassador to shine a light on the disease and inspire families as they navigate a difficult diagnosis.

How to Calm an Anxiety Attack
Everyone knows how unpleasant it is to have an anxiety attack. When an anxiety attack occurs, it is never easy to overcome it. Anxiety symptoms can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. Many anxiety sufferers choose to ignore their mental illness because they believe their symptoms will pass. In any case, this is not the case. It will worsen over time, and when it does strike, the symptoms will be unbearable, as they have been in previous attacks. So, if you are a victim of this disorder, you should seek help from an expert or doctor right away. A happy life is free of anxiety disorders.

Winter Is Coming. Here’s How To Protect Your Skin.
This article was previously published on Dr. James Goydos' Medium. Winter is coming. Literally. Although the official first day of winter is not until the Winter Solstice on December 21, the cool weather is upon many across the nation and around the world. When the seasons change and it gets cool and cloudy, it can be easy to forget about sun safety.
