Pernicious anemia

I am a 56 year old woman who is in a long-term relationship. My life has changed dramatically since getting diagnosed with pernicious anemia approximately 8 years ago. I don't really know as my memory is fading fast. I look forward to chatting to people who understand the illness which no-one seems to know much about or care. I am very isolated but life goes on and I have become a recluse. Please excuse the spelling.
