Just wondered how you coped. I'm really struggling, my right leg isn't doing well. I feel very down. I was very happy before diagnosis. I was physically abused by my mother and father when i was younger, mostly my mother, she would pull my pants down for anything and use the slipper on the back of my legs, her words were cruel, she'd think nothing of pulling hair and all number of not nice things. I've gone on to get past this, had a family, became a school teacher, have loving husband, thought i was through all that hurt, but this pain on the back of my legs caused from the PAP it feels like i've been hit with the slipper every minute of every day. I just can't seem to pull myself out of this hole, i don't want to carry on. I'd never do anything as my kids are young and need me. i'd never do anything anyway as kids and husband. But i just don't feel like going on. This operation seems to have steam rolled me over

So awful to read your post and what you’ve been through . Can you speak to your Gp about how you are feeling? Also Maggie’s are very good at giving support . There is a lot going on for you at the moment to deal with , no wonder you’re feeling down. Sending a hug x

Thank you
