Disabled + need an Automatic Car
Help Aman, Leicester
Hello my name is Amanda, I'm 40yrs old with 3 son's ( Only 2 of them still live at home with me ) My son's are my carers and they do almost everything for me like cook me meals and sort out all my medications. I have alot of health problems including Fibromyalgia, Slipped Disc, Bulging Disc, Osteoarthritis in my spine, Asthma, Underactive Thyroid, Supraventricular Tachycardia, Vertigo, Malignant Otitis Externa, Chronic Migraines and a few other smaller problems, I take alot of different medications to try and help me but I still get alot of pain, discomfort, fatigue, pins and needles in both hands and feet and swollen and painful legs, ankles and feet. At the moment my doctor has no Idea why my legs are so swollen and painful but they are doing lots of blood tests to check if I also have a muscle disease. I am in constant pain all over my body, it makes me feel like my bones are on fire. I feel completely exhausted like I have ran 2 marathons one after another with no rest in-between. I used to have a car but it was a manual gear and I could no longer use it so I'm trying to save up for an Automatic car but because I'm claiming Employment and Support Allowance I don't have any spare money to save up so this is why I'm asking for some help. It doesn't have to be a new car I would be happy with a second hand car as long as it's an automatic and has a big enough boot to fit my wheelchair into it I will be happy. I want to gain some Independence back to my life and I also want to take some of the stress off my son's maybe then they can go out for some fun like there friends.. Many Thanks for reading this and I hope you can spare something to go towards a car...
