Hi, my name is Simon2801!

Came across the site (by accident), as I'm newly diagnosed & classed as being disabled.
Something I'm trying to accept and understand as I'd never thought I'd fall into that bracket.
Have been recently been diagnosed with CFS, awaiting tests on POTS, as well as possible issues with my heart, and kidneys.
Got to say, getting older sucks.

Hi @Simon2801 Welcome to the Community. I hope you enjoy your time on the forum. Any questions just ask.
It can take some time to get used to a new diagnosis especially if it changes the life we had before.
Have a look around and join in when you are ready.
Take care.
