Hi all 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.
