After talking with my partner, I have requested to cut my hours at work. So in Jan I will only be working mornings. Hopefully that will mean less stress, and let me rest and get fully into remission, and get rid of this fatigue.
I went to see if I could claim any financial help. I was told if I was too ill to work at all I could get one benefit, but there is nothing out there for people who are working but struggling due to an illness. I know I don't qualify as disabled (according to UK law at least). So my boyfriend will have to keep up the overtime for a while longer. But the advisor did tell me that if I want benefits, I should have a baby! No wonder the country is in the state it's in, if that's the advice being handed out to young people!
