Wow. I am so full of admiration for the people who keep up a normal life through this sort of treatment. For myself, I was weak as a kitten and there was absolutely no way I could drive or work. Or think, or anything. But in the French health care system that is all covered for life-threatening illnesses, so it was not an issue - plus I have a very supportive partner.

But really, do all you can to make your life easier, get all the help you can - you need to be nice to yourself, that is an important part of getting better. Also, remember, the treatment is temporary and you do get better afterwards. It does not stay that bad, honest.
