I was recently diagnosed with ADHD - and am on the waiting list for an Autism assessment, I have a lot of other health issues that often tie in with these, such as HyperMobility (I would like to get this explored further to see if I have EDS due to the nature of things like the way I scar, difficulty swallowing sometimes, and my skin type (soft almost baby like feeling), it can also attribute to looking younger than I am (I often get pegged as a lot younger than my actual age of 44! - I was still getting asked for ID in my 30’s!)
I am an ambulatory wheelchair user using a variety of mobility aids (and sometimes non) dependant on how my disabilities effect me on a day to day and hour to hour - even minute to minute basis. I also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia. In 2021 I got Lyme disease from a tick bite in my back garden and this contributed to a further decline in my health.
At the time of writing this I am also recovering very slowly from an ear infection - seems to be fungal based (ew) and due to damp and mould issues in the Housing Association property I reside in with my Mum and the lack of space am urgently trying to find somewhere safer and more suitable to live.
I am also waiting for a tribunal for P.I.P disability benefits - my second one in a year! As well as awaiting an upper tribunal decision from a previous one last year.
I am raising funds in the meantime to help support my needs with things like automated items to help care for my cat, supplements, and items / experiences and therapies to support my health.
