Job ref.<\/td>\nPUR-877-955<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
About me<\/td>\nI live in the community in my own home, with no access to the outside due to my health conditions. My main diagnosis is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (diagnosed in 2008) which means I suffer from excruciating pain daily. This means I am largely bedbound and I am unable to carry out daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, organising my home etc. With the right support in place, I wish to improve my health as much as possible, to the point of being able to spend time outside my home as I love the outdoors. Whilst I am bedbound I spend my time, watching true crime documentaries, YouTube videos and have interest in the Health and Beauty industry as this is what I did before my diagnosis.<\/p>\n
