Thanks, everyone. I always heard that it's hard to ask for help, but I always thought that if I needed it, I'd have no problem asking. To my surprise, I find that I really can't most of the time--because it seems like everyone I know has troubles that are on the same level as mine.

Sue, you are right to warn me to be careful. I can easily imagine myself saying to someone else: just because you haven't had dangerous symptoms doesn't mean you won't start to. MG is unpredictable. I will try to take that to heart.

DesertFlower, I think you are thinking along the right lines. We all need something meaningful in our lives. For me, that means taking care of people, but there are a lot of ways to take care of people. It may take some imagination to think of new ways. On-line is an excellent direction to think in, especially for those of us who are able to use a computer without limitations.

Thanks for understanding.
