Welcome to the community! Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself?

I am finding all of this a bit overwhelming.
After many years as a college Lecturer and other consultancy activities, ten years ago I retired on ill heath grounds. I had been as active as possible with my conditions with an interest in Employment Law and Trade Union activities.
In January of this year, on my 65th birthday, I fell and long story short was eventually diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) a rare autoimmune disease (14/100,000).
Have been virtually housebound for five months and quality of life is very poor.
A member who has joined the community in the last 12 hours also has Myasthenia Gravis, @Errol! Maybe you can support each other
I understand it can be overwhelming, there's no rush, take all the time you need, we are always here
