We believe this is going to be a very informative project that may help thousands of people living with this unrecognized disability. Our support group on the Yuku message board will be offering people further information and support.

Stay tuned for updates!

“Jane became a trainer in 1990 in a range of soft skills, focusing on race and gender equality and diversity combined with Disability Awareness training and consultancy.

But her world and perspective on diversity and equality changed in 2004 when she sustained a spinal injury, leading to unsuccessful surgery which left her moderately disabled. What could have been a very dark time for Jane turned out to be her inspiration and in 2005 she founded Public Sector Providers, initially trading from her front bedroom. Within 12 months PSP had office premises, three staff, thirty trainers and a string of contracts with the public sector.

2008 was a year of highs and lows – Jane was a finalist in Stelios Disabled Entrepreneurs Award. But just 4 days after the awards dinner, experimental spinal surgery designed to resolve her worsening disability failed. Once again she faced the prospect of running a business with severe limitations – unable to sit, bend or lift, and with a limited ability to stand or walk, lying flat for at least 20 hours a day.”

I have also obtained a parking permit for disabled with a camper and wheelbench at two local shopping centers. This Saturday I was shopping at one of the biggest shopping centers in Scandinavia.

There are certainly different kind of mountaintops! To lobby for change helps! Yes, we can!

The whole purpose of this board is so people have a place to come to when no one else will listen. When no doctor has an answer. When family and friends don’t understand. When you need information. I bet some people do not like to burden others with their problems. I know I don’t. And maybe this keeps them afar. I hope everyone feels comfortable here. I can’t imagine why not. You couldn’t get a better audience than here at Friends. We come from all walks of life, and have much different ideas and experiences that may be helpful.

Just be yourself, and don’t worry about things that are wasted worry. We have enough stress in our lives that adds to the pain, fatigue and depression. My favorite motto is, Do what is best for YOU. It’s a healthy answer.
