Well, I can’t help much directly, but I do sympathise very much with what’s been going on for you. As you say, it’s been a nightmare with one problem after another. I’m sending a cyber hug.

I hope you can get some treatment to relieve your symptoms.

This forum will be very helpful for you

Jam! I’m so very sorry you have to deal with this, esp at such a young age and with small children. Hold on and be strong. That’s all I can say right now. Your strength and attitude can see you through, or destroy you if you give in. Like the saying goes ‘one day at a time’, but you can do this!💪

You're not having much luck at all Hidden. Life can be so unfair at times (and believe me, that's the polite version of what I really want to say to you). Stay strong and know that the people on this site will be there every step of the way for you, perhaps not physically but certainly in spirit x
