Hi, I have a few health issues but manage to commute and work full time- it can be a struggle. I have worn discs in my lower back, spondylosis in my neck, osteoarthritis in my knees. I also have anxiety and mild depression but keep on going.
I think my mental health is worse now as i'm finding the menopause tough going following a radical hysterectomy 8 years ago. My partner has a lot of health issues and was made redundant last year after 39 years with the same company. Since then he has had 2 operations around his rheumatoid arthritis so is not well enough to seek a job for a few months yet. It's awful for him but i'm struggling with it all!
Hence my finding this website in the hope of support.
Hi All Thanks to lonely46 for starting this group. Living with a chronically ill partner can be devastatingly lonely and frustrating, and it's not something society really lets us talk ...
