Looking For Love?

It must be really hard to find that special someone when you're in constant pain and so lethargic you can't even lift yourself out of a chair let alone go out on the town! But fear not - Fibromyalgia UK Dating Group has been set up on Facebook, and guess what? - they need more men to join. Grab your coat, you've pulled!

What to do When Work Stops Working?

Picture
When you have a chronic illness working can become impossible - especially when you're working for someone else. Calling in sick on days when your pain gets too bad, requesting light or limited duties when you return to work - it all adds to the stresses between employer and employee. So, what can you do when work stops working for you?

We're going to look at several options for the chronically ill patient - this first one (from the US - but much of it is relevant here in the UK) looks at self employment. (Thanks to Cassie and the gang at Different With Dignity)

Support to Stay in your own Home

PictureExpertise.
For many people, owning and maintaining a home is one of the most significant investments they ever make. But for individuals and veterans living with disabilities, or seniors aging in place, the fact that much of the world outside is not built to accommodate their needs magnifies the value of a comfortable home. It’s vital they and their loved ones have access to the best resources about how to make their homes livable and enjoyable.
Unfortunately, without access to the right resources, creating a comfortable home can be an expensive task.

For our visitors from the United States of America, Expertise provide support to help you stay in your home


Guide to Home Remodeling for Disability: http://www.expertise.com/home-and-garden/home-remodeling-for-disability-and-special-needsI


In the UK - despite five years of savage cuts to public services, some local authorities still provide (limited) support to help the disabled remain in their own homes - such as stair lifts, disability aids for bathing and moving about your home in safety. Contact your local authority's social services department for details.
