Celiac I have meals delivered from Wiltshire farm foods . Basic toilet needs when out I have to be near a toilet, if somewhere different whoever is with me has to check if toilets and where they are due to muscle spasms affecting control emy muscles.

| Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: I can't use my hands properly for anything, I can't sit for long I can't stand for long and I'm in pain all the time. I would be having a lot of time off if they did find me anything, I can't grip properly I have spinal fractures twisted spine, COPD emphysema to the point I can't speak. Fibromyalgia which makes my memory fuzzy, vertigo where I'm in bed unable to move for about 4 days then takes a week to completely feel more normal. I can't do housework don't know how I'm supposed to go work as well all my conditions are degenerative and won't get any better. |
| Anything else to tell us: I used to work 3 jobs , I workedmake heavy casting jobs in the pottery industry , I've done nearly every job on a potbank but wouldn't be able to now. I've worked behind a bar which I can't do now, I've always done manual work with my hands . I get really frustrated that I can't even open a shampoo bottle, when washing dishes they flirt in the air because I can't tell I'm holding them. I don't think I would be insured for injury if anything happened from working, I more than likely would do more damage to my bones and lungs. Also I would need to be going the toilet a lot . |
