Ever feel like a waste of NHS money?

Does anyone ever feel like a total waste of NHS time and money. I've been diagnosed with RA, Diabetes type 2 and now Endemetriosis. I feel like everyone thinks I'm wasting their time and money when there are people who are really sick. It would be more cost effective to put me down.

I know how you feel. I have RA, hypermobility, hypothyroidism and just been referred to a cardiologist as I have developed an issue with my heart. I also think I have endometriosis, just haven't been diagnosed, waiting for tests for that.

It would be easier to say what was right with me, I feel like such a waste of space and would be easier to put me down.

Dear Technicoloured,

Your life is precious and valuable. I am sorry that you are having so many health challenges but don't let anyone make you feel that you are useless or you are a waste of space. God made you in His own image and likeness, and He loves you very much. Your life matters, take charge of it, try and do something positive and healthy each day.

Dear Technicolour,

I feel for you. Its rotten to feel this way. Let's hope that they can fix us so that we can feel good about ourselves again. Hang on in there.

Love Groot x
