Hi I hope ur feeling a bit better, I was just having the same conversation tis week, it’s very hard financially esp coming up to Christmas, I was so used to having my own money and I’m a hairdresser so I would always have customers at home and always have a few bob I would always be sorted early for Christmas not this year.... this disease has taken so much from me mainly my independence, it’s just shit!!! Living from scan to scan hanging on every word doctors say worrying about every little change, reading stuff on social media is hard too, but as everyone says and sometimes it’s sooooo annoying , your so strong your an inspiration , I’m like I just want to be free of this life sentence and get on with my life... your not alone so feel free to chat anytime xxx
