Welcome to the community @malc66 How are you doing today?

Hello and thank you all for your welcome.
Please excuse my lack of protocol, i'm sure i'll get the hang of it.
Today i'm fine, i have bad and good days as i'm sure others do.
Usher is my primary condition but, due to my genetic type, i have also developed inflammatory arthritis and fibromyalgia. However, with medication and a good wife and family day to day living is manageable. -
There's no need to apologise @malc66 It can take a while to get used to the community. Please give us a shout if you need any help finding your way around!
I'm glad you're feeling okay today, and that you have a supportive family around you. It's good to hear that medication is making things more manageable on a daily basis too.
Do you have any interests or hobbies?
