I look after my husband who has Friedreich's Ataxia. I do not get 1 day off. I have my own disabilities....Degenerative Disc n faucets, Fibromyalgia, Ostochrondritis, Hypoglycaemia n Migraines. We are on Direct Payments but only get so many hours a week. My health has been deteriating for a while but everytime we ask f...or more help or an assessment for me for my own probs it always seems to be oh we will make an appointment for next week but unfortunately next week never comes. Even when I am ill I have to get up n see to my husband...when I struggling to walk etc.
