Thank you all.
Looking back, I think I had my first bout of fatigue!!! Hell, never had one before! my face is almost straight, but I'm still winking and whining.
I took the plunge and phoned centrelink today to see what I might be entitled to. It sounds hopeful.
Realistically, I think I'm going to have to consider my work options. I can't see how much longer I can look after people who are feeling better than me
Thank you again.
