Hello All! Just to introduce myself, my name is Andy, I am a retired NHS nurse due to ill health. I have a long term neurological condition. I still try to keep my mind as active as is possible, health permitting. I am Chair Person for my local hospitals Disability Advisory Group, I am also a Patient and Public Involvement Forum member for my local Primary Care Trust. I have just been asked to join 2 new committeee's a Neurological disorders Steering Group, and a Palliative Care Steering group. I am also a Patient Representative at my local hospital. I live with my partner, we have been together 21 years this year! I love theatre, and after leaving the hospital, despite my disability I was able to complete a performing arts course and gain an RSA Diploma in Performing Arts, as Iam a 'Trained' singer.
Look forward to hearing from group members and thanks for having me as a member. |

Hi all,
I'm Rachel. I'm 30, married with a 2 and a half year old son and have MS. One of my pet hates is being expected to accept and put up with something just cos it's all that's available/not available. As far as I'm concerned - if it's not good enough......then change it, And I'm willing to do as much as I can to do just that. Looking forward to chatting and helping, |

OK, guys, just pulling a few legs!
So, I life in Fife in Scotland, and I am a househusband having retired from work when I was 41. I was diagnosed when I was 34 with Multiple sclerosis tough the subsequent history suggests transverse myelitis a more likey diagnosis. I am paraplegic T6 (i.e. no movement below the chest) medical things subsequent to this are only patching up the problems as I am really pretty healthy. I retired due to the fatigue that dfemyelinating disease brings and have been much better for it. We moved from Birmingham in 1991 after I had retired and I can tell you that Fife is a great place to live. in addition to being a househusband I have also gained a degree at the local uni. Oh, I had nose surgery in December last. I was at an asthma screening for a reseach programme and the ENT doctor who checked me out said the septum, (the dividing wall in the nose) was bend and blocking the nose somewhat. I did not know this though i have sprayed loads of things up my nose to clear it. Oddly the GPs who had prescribed the sprays had not spotted the problem though when told somehow could then see it. The operatiion is called Seromplasty and you can see some accounts of it here: - [url]http://www.quinlanfaris.com/nose/ [/url] So my interests include cooking though obviously I rather enjoy the eating too. Oh, and I enjoy singing in such choirs that are around where I live. That's about it I think. |

HIHi Bazzer47Nice to meet you. Thank you for joining the forum. Granted, it is pretty quiet at the moment, but we are relatively new so with time we should grow. In a few weeks, I will be adding a few things to the forum, including a section about mental health and discrimmination, as well as one or two quizzes. So stick around, and don't forget to tell others about the forum, so we can help building our campaign! Thanks again. |
