View MoreWhat lifestyle changes have you made since your diagnosis?
I bought a walking stick and I seldom venture outdoors. I have applied to the council for a downstairs flat to no avail as of yet. I have been waiting for years. I would love a bungalow but they are few and far between.

I have become increasingly dependant on my partner and increasingly depressed.
