A Dublin man revealed how he collapsed to the floor crying after suffering from arthritis and chronic pain for nearly three decades.
Rory Richardson, who is in his mid-40s, said he was looking at all the medication he had to take when he was overcome with a feeling of helplessness. He said: "In October of last year, I had been feeling pretty down because of the pain, I just felt beaten up and I was holding everything inside.
"Then on one Sunday morning I was standing looking at all the medication I had to take and I collapsed onto the floor. I cried like I have never cried in my life. It was horrible because the kids were upstairs and I didn’t want them to hear me or see me like that."
