I'm new here.

Hi, I recently just joined. I'm Jemma. I have been in a wheelchair for the past 4 years now due to an undiagnosed chronic pain condition. The waiting lists are so long here (I'm in Northern Ireland) I don't think I'll ever get a diagnosis. I have joined as this seems like a really lovely, supportive community and being disabled can be very lonely.
I'm married, with two kids. Look forward to chatting and supporting anyone that needs it.
