Hello everyone

Hi @MichelleHope1979 welcome to the community! Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself?

MichelleHope1979

I'm a friendly caring kind person with mild learning difficulties plus I suffer from depression and anxiety I also have type 2 diabeties and have Oastioartritus in both my knees 😔. 

Ami2301

Are you managing the pain OK?

MichelleHope1979

I wear support bandages on both knees but the pain can still be unbearable at times it hurts if i sit down stand up and move about. It does get me down a bit. Can I ask is Oastioartrutis classed as having a disability?.
