Hi there milner, gosh that is hard lines for you, hope that you are doing OK, and that there are people here who can support you. My only experience is with my beautiful sister who had Lupus Erythematosus (LE).

Hi Milner

I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Auto Immune Hepatitis which is partially controlled with drugs. The main effect on me is the extreme tiredness which strikes at any time with no warning. The specialist said it is important to keep exercising, walking is the best. I have managed to lose some weight by dieting but could do with another 10kg off.

I would like to hear how you are.

Hi
I have Myasthenia Gravis; Type 2 Diabetes and Arthritus. I was diagnosed in 2006 with the MG and Diabetes. The Arthritus slowly crept up on me. It has not been diagnosed by my Doctor but my fingers are knarly and twisted and sometimes very painful.
