It’s been a long time since I have posted here, and I want to share a significant change in the rules of #InvalidityPension in #Ireland. Now we can get permission to be involved in Patient & Public Involvement (PPI) without out losing our pension. We just inform them.
It was great to speak on this podcast about my experiences as a patient researcher

In addition to the Exoband that has meant I can lose my cane a lot of the time I am trying the Exoankle. It helps lift your foot so I barely scuff my foot at all and I don’t swing my leg as much out to avoid scuffing it. @MoveoWalks

If you have MS, live in the UK, and would be interested in taking part in some research interviews about your journey from diagnosis to managing your condition (with vouchers as a thank you for your time), send me a DM and I’ll tell you how to get involved.
If @DonnellyStephen wants to give patients, like me, a voice, why is he blocking our comments. The value of comments is you will get positive and negative viewpoints. All are valuable in developing a #patient centred system which is safe for all.
@mapflynn@HSELive @NationalQPS @NurMidONMSD A key element of this should be that all patients who use the health service should be included. However, those on Invalidity Pension cannot without risking losing their support. Those in receipt of Carers Allowance similarly take a risk. This must change!!
