Hello all, I am a support worker at my island hospice and support individuals with all differing abilities. I learned sign language and am interested in the deaf communities and other minority groups, Learning disabilities, MND,MS. I have a hidden disability - I suffer from chronic neuropathic pain where I experience pins and needles in my abdomen intense itching abdominal spasms without any warning and when my pain gets worse I have to resort to taking opiates . But enough about me droning on....I look forward to your notifications.
