Barb642 says thank you.!
Thank you to those of you who read my posts and supported me. It is helping towards me feeling stronger - even if it's taken 50 years in total to realise I did, like all of us, get a bum deal in life one way or another. But it could have been so much worse: 50 years ago there was no DLA or PIP and my uncle had it very bad, so my Auntie had to stay at home to be a carer for him (and their son). No internet, no contact like this!
Thank goodness that we all live in a time when so many treatment options are possible. I can’t imagine having this condition decades/generations ago when nobody knew what to call it and nobody knew how to treat it. Think of our ancestors in the way-back family tree —how they must have suffered and been so isolated. Yes, having the ability to chat in real time with others is a great HELP, especially when you are feeling down or frustrated!
