Hi, I was diagnosed in August 2021. I started limping in 2017 and was initially given a different diagnosis. Things have slowly deteriorated, I now use a wheelchair and my shoulders are also now involved making everyday tasks a challenge! I have suspected MND for sometime and although devastating, my diagnosis is also strangely a relief.
I am now at the point where I need to have some home care, but although I know I need it and have had a Social Services assessment saying I qualify for help, I am finding it difficult to take the next step and accept help! This makes no logical sense, but I am stuck in a loop of not wanting help but knowing I need it. I'm sure I'm not the first person to experience this and would appreciate some help on how others have come to terms with this.
Thanks in advance.
