Ingegerd Enscoe, Volunteer Mentor (@astaingegerdm)

My name is Asta Ingegerd Margareta! This was common in Sweden when I was born. In this country people call me Inge.
I retired early at 61 because of GI issues and exhaustion. We moved from NY to SC in 2005. I had a decent first year here, getting in shape before my GI tract declared war again. So many issues. Worst was autoimmune illness- local GIs ran out of ideas and patience so I continued to Mayo, FL. I’ve had a couple of rare diseases including MALS. Chronic illness drains your energy.
