This is a terrible disease, my brother has it, in the most terrible form. he is in constant pain, has had many amputations, and the depression is so severe. 8 YEARS he has lived with this and 27 operations. He is losing the will to live and has lost his independance. I am so lonely as we have lost the relationship that once was, although we dearly love each other. The pain has changed him and the sufferring.

I would like to find/start a support group in south east England/greater London !!!!..Its a cruel disease. Smoking is all he has left, albeit, that's the problem. People do not realise how hard this addiction is. What else has he got? He is isolated, depressed and does not want to go on.
