Explains that he can't do all the things he wants such as going back to work.

 



It has taken over my life in so much that I can't do the things now that I want to do. I would like to be allowed to run my own business again and to work. The most frustrating thing about this is not being able to work, to be at home all day. 

I have sat down over the last 7 years and I have managed to pass my doctorate in computer science, but it has been extremely hard work. If it wasn't for a computer, where I can input, I would get nowhere. You can constantly review what you are doing all the time; I have got a diary on the computer so you can remember what you are doing all the time. The problem is concentration; because I get headaches after about 15-20 minutes of reading so I have to stop reading and do something else.
