| Tasks you struggle with on a day-to-day basis: Mobility is very restricted. I struggle getting in and out of bed; getting dressed/undressed; bathing/showering; preparing meals and washing up. I am unable to look after my home and garden and rely on paid cleaners/gardener to do this. I struggle with washing and ironing clothes. |

| Anything else to tell us: Losing over £3,800 of net income per annum will have a significant effect on my way of life.. I spnd around £1000 pa on cleaners, a similar amount on gardener and over £2,300 pa on drugs which NICE will not fund despite their proven symptomatic relief |
