Thank you @Cully for the words of complement, uplift, and encouragement. They say that what I have isn't painful, however, in all my reading I've found that the experts aren't all in agreement over that. One expert says those who have pain with MG probably have fibromyalgia too. As I'm one of those MG patients who experiences pain, I think I can relate that what fibro patients might feel. There are times when every muscle of my body aches. Yes, I agree. Becoming engrossed helps distract from any pain. I also get this "brain fog", and I find art is something I can do in spite of the "brain fog". Left-brain stuff seems to be most affected by it, so I let my right-brain take hold when I can't see straight. (Literally, there are times when I can't see straight. MG affects the eye muscles, so I have to close the affected eye when that happens.) So, here is what I did very recently... I went online searching for "disability chairs". What I found were companies who were out to make a fortune off insurance companies and Medicare. (As I don't have the later, I checked and my insurance company has a 50% co-payment on "durable devices".) I found chairs that ranged from $3500 to $9000!!! On a whim, I stopped at a local furniture store and described what I needed a chair to do. The salesman walked me right to a chair, asked me to sit in it, and demonstrated it. It was PERFECT. $1300 after tax and delivery and setup charges. That's still cheaper than my insurance co-pay would have been on the other. The next step was to figure out how to use my keyboard and see my monitor using this chair. I found a monitor arm on Amazon for around $120. Then for the keyboard, my wife and a little laptop table that was meant to sit next to a chair with an arm to hold the laptop in front of the chair. The stupid thing had wheels on it that kept it from sliding under the chair. When I told my wife it wouldn't work because of the wheels, she went to a local fabrication shop, explained to the guy about my disease and how I got this special chair and that the wheels need to come off this table. He took the table and asked if she could wait about 10 minutes. He cut them off and ground the metal so it was smooth. YEAH! It worked! I had to make a couple more modifications so the keyboard would be directly in front of me and the mouse pad reachable, but I think I'm 95% of the way there. I'm just waiting for a couple more cheap parts from Amazon to make this thing 100%. It feels like I'm at the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701. LOL. I actually wish I would have had a set up like this for the last 40 years. Spending 32 years working in the computer industry meant being hunched over a computer for long hours. This set up is much more back and neck friendly, AND very necessary now that I have a neuromuscular disorder. As my dad always said, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." That's what folks like you and me have to do. I hope you find things that help with your fibro. Chronic pain can be so discouraging at times. I'd love to see what you create on your iPad. Brent

HI! great work here! and i totally understand re unexpected major lifestyle changes. shortly before I retired from work I came down with severe fibro, which aggravated other conditions so that now I have severe chronic pain 24x7 each and every day. I, too, can only do things for short bursts of time. Luckily when I work on my art stuff on my iPad (easier than sitting at a computer) I become so engrossed, so zoned into my project that pain disappears for the time duration. Health issues don't improve for some of us, but there is a lot of truth in the "when one door closes, another opens." I wish for you all blessings. and i wish for me that I can approach one tenth of your artistic ability! *grins* cully
