New Case:
Mick contacted us recently regarding his Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, which affects his respiratory system so badly that he has been hospitalised many times. Simple things such as certain aftershaves, polishes, air fresheners can trigger an asthma attack or cause bronchial problems, which has lead to him having to become self - employed and less able to work with others. The jobs he can do depend on who he will be working with and what products he will be working with.

"A"is a 11 year old boy who has ADHD. Even before his diagnosis at the age of 6 his mum was aware of his disability and fought for 3 years for more help and support. He is often labelled as a "naughty child" and frowned upon. His parents are blamed for any bad behaviour that occurs. Although all companies and organisations are authorised to treat everyone equal "A" still struggles in environments like schools and sports clubs. He can be disruptive or over sensitive and other children bully him accordingly.
"C" has a parent who suffers from Fibromyalgia and is unable to go for girly trips into town, etc and "C" finds that she spends all of her spare time looking after the parent.
"L" has suffered with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome since she was 12. Doctors never believed her, blaming other factors such as lack of exercise and poor diet for her sluggishness and inability to function. By the age of 17 she was struggling with full-time work and was given prescriptions for depression and sicknotes for exhaustion. After over 25 years of fighting she eventually found a doctor who agreed to send her for tests to find out what was wrong with her and now faces a long road ahead to get any help and support.
"M"suffers with anxiety. Her anxiety attacks can get so bad that she is unable to leave the house for days.
"S" has Lupus. She is only in her 20's, and a single mum with 2 small children and is in pain constantly, but puts on a brave face. Taking her eldest child to school is painful and exhausting and then she has to return to look after her demanding 2 year old for the rest of the day. This is difficult enough for any single mum, but one who deals with the daily pain of aching muscles, headaches, exhaustion and joint pain is more than challenging. She never complains about it, as no-one believes her.
