    Royal mail is a good job  you could  go on the royal nail website and see if they have any jobs in your area

    I was a carer  there is no lifting but with care now before you can work you have to fo  your award training now as you have to be registered to be able to do care  so you would have to do thstvfirst but there are  alot of jobs out there for carers   if you go on indeed job search and type in care work for your area  the jobs will come up  and you just fill in the details thry ask you to do care is a rewarding job

    I dont mind helping and supporting this is the  sort of job I would like to do  its something I think I could be good st as I am a people person  I like helping people  i am a good listener  but what I have found since the corona virus started  I tend to over talk when I get the chance to talk to someone as I font see many people so I am practicing to try not to do that

    Yes I would to advise and help people prople eith conditions can sometimes come up against problems because of other people's lack of under standing  its not as bad now as it was when I was younger but sometimes people give up for one reason or another  but I have always told prople its not a disability its an ability to do things when we can I have come up against problems  some of them are funny my first ever problem still makes me laugh now

    I parked my car in a disability parking space displayed my badge  did my shopping and when I came back to my car there was a man blocking me in  as I walked towards my  car a man got out snd said to me I knew it your fake there isn't anything wrong  with you my reply was ignorance  is bliss just because you can't see what is wrong with me doesnt mean there isn't  I told him I had lupus he still didn't belive me  and drove off 

    Three months later again I parked my car in a disabled spot and the same man was parked behind my car  but I was shocked he got out the car and said he was sorry thst his wife has found out she has lupus  and his wife was in the car and we became friends and I started to go round the country bringing awareness to what lupus was and how to live eith lupus 

    Unfortunately my friend died three years later  but still lupus isn't widely know about because sometimes it can take years to get a proper diagnosis
