Hey @Pebbz1981 Things sound pretty shit at the moment, good on you for getting in here and letting off a bit of steam. I don't think the isolation that chronic disease can bring is taken into serious consideration-- you can be well cared for and loved but still be terribly lonely. If you have always been independent it's very hard to strike up new relationships when you are unwell and being stuck at home is dismal. I don't have a magic wand and am not at all a hugger, but I just wanted to let you know your voice is being heard. Marg xx
