- does anybody know anything about CHC and how you can maintain your existing care team and autonomy over who cares for you? Because I am now so disabled and chronically ill that they are thinking about putting me on the CHC so that they can have the NHS and my Care, but I still want the choice and autonomy to employ the The. To care for me as they are medically trained to do so it’s just right now they do it under their health and social care rather than continuing healthcare as I have trained the map to know my science symptoms of my illness and how to help me. Need it such as how to administer my MEDS et cetera but the funding that comes with it will only come if I go onto CHC but I want my autonomy of choosing who delivers my care as my care team obviously I’ve been caring for me for the last and know how to manage my complexities and the dynamics of my chronic illness how do I make sure that even on CHC I can maintain my existing staff team who know me? Does anybody know? Neurological disorder also known as FND.

- one of my favourite aerial artist I saw at the panda if you want to help me chase my ring then please donate to my PayPal or search my name on go fund me because without doing fundraising my PAs wouldn’t be able to give me the amazing quality of life they do as I’m chronically underfunded as well as being chronic clear with functional neurological disorder and I am all about chasing the dreams for 2026 New Year new adventures and experiences so please donate to help me chase those dreams of Travel and of success because I’ve got the team that are able to support me. It’s just about having the money for them to do so. thank you for all your support saying different community. Can you come and set it before it goes off again the stupid?
- if we introducing myself and explaining a bit more about my complex needs life and asking if anybody can donate they do so through my just giving and go fund me pages because being a complex needs adult isn’t easy being a complex needs child is not easy, but isn’t a walk in the compared to being in a complex need that adult explaining more about my story and my life to raise aware
