TW deathI’m getting sicker and still not making much headway in receiving help. Currently sorting out what the plans would be for Melbcat if I passed. That might not be immediate and I really hope it doesn’t happen but I’ve been deteriorating for a long time and will be heading in that direction without any intervention.

I'm sorry to hear, I think maybe you should pop down to the Emergency Ward and get something sorted.

You shouldn't be having to figure out how to get help while your health is deteriorating.

Is there anything we can help or do for you to get your health back on track?

Thanks, I have been to the ER repeatedly but unfortunately I’m not your usual case. The medical system can be pretty broken for anyone atypical.

@melbaboutown @Duenan
The health care system is pretty broken for neurotypical people too. Expect long waits with a temporary blanket and bowl of porridge for those that qualify. Later, write to your MP about the lack of funds.
