Connective Tissue Disease

Almost killed me. Should call it diesease. Went from just under 34 mins to run 6 miles to 40+ now. Never get those times back. After the nightmare nothing matters except health but almost a year after it started I'm now (only) on 10 mg Prednisolone however the thing is still there. Spent a terrible 5 weeks in hospital, they didn't know what was wrong - I thought it was pretty obvious, they were suspecting Lymphoma and were talking about chemotherapy. If you've just got it and you're in the UK then you're probably totally in the blind about it all so leave a note although I won't be able to offer much advice.
