Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
Two years ago, they said, “We want an experiment. Stop taking it for two weeks to find the effect”. The effect was that I could not get out of that blasted chair. I could hardly go to the loo at home. I could not even go to the fridge. I could not walk. My legs were absolutely dead. The point is that that does not make me suicidal, but if NICE cuts off that drug I will find life absolutely unbearable. I would be sitting beside my noble friend Lady Grey-Thompson in my chair. I would not be able to walk or move at all. As I say, that does not make me suicidal, but I can imagine the effects.
