Story
I am 36 years old and I struggle to do everyday tasks because I suffer from a rare condition EDS. I have to wear splints and supports to hold my body together as it dislocates constantly. I live in extreme pain, day and night but find the supports that I wear help me lead as normal life as possible.
I am unable to work but I love doing voluntary work at Bodmin College, as much as my body allows with the extreme pain I'm in.
I live at home with my parents as I am unable to manage to live independently. My Mum is my main carer. I have to have private treatment to put my Jaw back into position twice a week as well as wearing my body supports as the NHS does not fund long term treatment.
The NHS does not fund my suit or special socks which I have to wear day and night. These cost £700 for a suit and £600 for the socks.
I would be extremely grateful if you could help me to fund both of these supports as I need new ones on a regular basis to help me with my everyday life.
Thanks so much
Gill Nicholls
