@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?

Thanks for the reply and advise. I've been consistant with 8 - 10k steps a day and bike also. When I walk it feels like my hips and knees are going in 4 different directions, I use a walking stick. I'm more comfortable biking. Been more active with all the household and yard chores. Also worried about my personality. I don't know if it is the wear and tear of being sick for so long or another Gfap thing. Not the same person I was before. See Dr. Carpenter soon, Fairview, Mpls. Frustrated and worried, will talk with him.
