I am a middle age man with severe Osteoarthritis.

I am also a carer for my mother with Alzheimer, epilepsy and now lung cáncer.

I am increasingly struggling in my daily life, physically and mentally with my condition. Also this is affecting my ability to care for my mum, who needs 24/7 care. I am worried that I won't be able to care for her properly, as my condition increasingly degenerates.

I've had some sporadic non specialised support, like standard carers for a few hours, but I have not found continuous specialised support that would improve our situation, so I am very worried about the escalating difficulties.

If anyone has had a good experience with any particular group or charity for general and specialised support, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for any advice.
