Has anyone been diagnosed with GFAP

I am a 71 year old white male who tested positive for Autoimmune Gfap in February of 2024. I have seen a doctor and have been on medications since then. I think as myself as being 95% cured but tire easily and my balance is off. The Doctor says that because of my age and because I wasn't treated early it is taking longer but he is optimistic about a full recovery. I'm trying to stay active and positive but it has been a tough journey.

@pfbeagan Welcome to the autoimmune support group! You were diagnosed with autoimmune Gfap several months ago and have been on medication since. Did the doctor explain what Gfap is and what the medications are for and how long you’ll have to be on them? It would be very helpful, to you, to know the answers to these question. It will give you some autonomy and control over the disease.
You also said that you’re trying to stay active. What are some things you do to stay active?

Hi @pfbeagan, I combined your discussion on being diagnosed with Gfap with an existing discussion titled, "Has anyone been diagnosed with GFAP" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/has-anyone-been-diagnosed-with-gfap/.

You had previously met @gardrums123, @1kay2, @degarden_girl, @joe1977 and @slkanowitz in this discussion and they may be interested in seeing your newest post.
