I posted in General Health too but perhaps this is a more appropriate place. My mother has just been told her neurological condition (4 months now) is most likely to be MND. Until today all i'd heard about MND was the ice bucket challenge and Stephen Hawkins. She has developed depression on top of the physical symptoms. I live 600 miles away. MND has no hope or cure and I'm finding it all quite a shock. My two brothers live in different continents, so I'm the closest relative to her. It looks like the 'normal' prognosis is 2 years but she is already bed bound. I am completely freaked out. Any advice over how to support her and my step father would be much appreciated. I have v young 3 DC (one of which is pre school). I have no idea how I'm going to get through this.
