MemberJana, I can truly empathize with most of what you posted here. I don’t live alone, but I can imagine the struggles you must have with that. I know that I already feel very isolated and homebound already, but not to have my husband around like he is now to do the things I can’t and just for companionship, I would just lose my mind. And talking about losing my mind leads me to the next topic of peri-menopause and menopause. I can totally relate. I was going through peri-menopause and then menopause on 20mg of prednisone and it was straight up hell. I was emotionally all over the place and having constant MG flares. It was a total dumpster fire for several years. Now, I can look in the rearview mirror of that, thankfully, and think that I am past the worst of it (hopefully) but it was rough.
