There are so many reasons we don't want this disease culminating, of course, with the fact it can kill us.
The degree of loss can be catastrophic or it can be marginal. The problem is the threat never goes away and even the most dedicated self care can't protect us from the fickle finger of fate.
Ms O'Riordan losing her job because she simply can't do it any more mirrors the experience of so many. No one is lucky in those circumstances but some can adapt their skills more readily than others. Those who rely on packing supermarket shelves or picking fruit or other menial, physical jobs find themselves in a diabolical situation with no prospect other than poverty and charity and the cruel strictures of a welfare system not designed for their experience This really is a shit of a disease.
