In 2012 I was told I had emphysema!with lung capacity of 38%percent,the long term outlook is very poor,this was due to smoking when younger,in 2013 I was told I had a very rare condition,never heard of it before.its called myasthenia gravis,this is a or rile condition,the brain sends messages along the body's nerves,in my case I have a chemical Lin my system which blocks the brain signals,therefore the mussels do not work get tired and lazy,for this I have to take a pill every four hours,day and night 24/7 I can miss I pill without to much bother but if I miss or am late with the next pill then I have major problems,there is no cure,in June 2014 I was told due to the meds I already take I had T2diabetas and need insulin four times a day,as I have to be awake every four hours to take meds it's ideal to test my sugars,I do loose sleep but make up for it during the day,and my new ipad is a blessing!anyway there is no choice but to carry on with things,did not mean to bore anybody,you will find the myasthenia gravis site a interesting read,regards to all
