  Hi Ami, I'm Carol and I suffer from arthritis and curvature of the spine and have the start of dementia so in a bit of a pickle lol, although I do everything for myself I find it difficult but hey ho . I have two dogs that are my life and make me get up and do all I do, Despite my predicament I don't let it get ne down and I help some friends who have disabilities and helped set up a coffee club for anyone who would like to go it's totally free and we also run a small food bank.

  Love your positivity! Aww thank you, that's my fiance, we are getting married in Seltember!
  
  I have Transverse Myelitis which is a rare neurological condition, my spinal cord became inflamed which led to me losing the ability to sit up, stand up and walk. I have Ataxia, hearing difficulties and central vision loss. I will be here all night if I give you my full medical history lol!
