You guys know me and my kane.

I need help. This is hard for me to say but I do. Kane is now 10 years old. and it has been a terrible 4 years.

I have had to give up my house, move in with my parents as they are now my carers (in the years they were supposed to be retired) In order that my son could remain with me. I have as you know been and am very sick. They live on th Isle of wight. 200 miles from our friends.

My job (financial controller was not renewed after 3 months in hopital) No Job, No home, No health and so alone and bed ridden more thn 70% of the time. After working my entire life. I am starting to feel better and the meds now seem too be under control.

I was cleared of Breast cancer in 2015, then I developed massive bouts of pain and swelling, I was taken in to hospital on the 2nd December 2015 and was in for a 4 1/2 month constant stay. When I was admitted they have me down as swelling to 17.2 stone. Today I am 10.2stone. I am off all medication other than Berinert which I only have if my throat/face swells to obviously stop me dying and such. I was on 42 tablets a day and 5 injections a week. Estimated cost £250k this year. All of which I would have been better off not on, I came off the Meds myself because I know my body. If you're wondering where your tax money has gone this year... It's probably in me. I have officially been diagnosed with Lupus and berinert respondent angioedema... The pain is constant and horrific. It's been the worst year in more ways than I can ever say for many of us, I am thankful to all of you that have sent message, called, taken Kane out, and been there for me sending notes and prayers, even gifts for kane and I. I now plan to be happy and get the hell over this year. I would like to take Kane away for a few weeks (I am not allowed to fly) so maybe Centre Parcs or a holiday camp. I understand this is a big ask and am humbled by twitter and the people I have met in person and virtually. You are amazing. I thank you for anything you can afford X

I am sick of being the 'Sick' person... Oh Jen, you don't even look sick.....

I just want my Kaney and I to feel normal for a while x
