I'm not sure how much more I can cope with I'm also in the process of trying to get my son statemented! I'm such a burden! It's so hard since my sight has gone overnight, such constant FIBRO pain, and fatigue on a different level since my complications! Been in hospital twice for a total of 4 weeks!,,, I'm scared!!, can no longervworknas can't see!, have a good job, co car etc... All gone at the mo!, on SSP now!, maybe I'd be better off 6 foot under!,, at least I wouldn't be a burden to my family!,,
