Hi I'm 43 and I have a mobility scooter. I use it daily for shopping etc. I also have a little dog who makes me go out daily for walks she's always pulling me into conversation with other people with dogs so never lonely anymore.

Generally people seem to be silent these days. maybe its a New Years thing. Didnt you get good advice last time? It my be hard for some to rewrite, Guessing.. In the meantime u should join an ataxia group, I think. there seen to be so many in the UK xxN

Hi

Social services can help through direct payments, allowing you to pay for support, this maybe a personal assistant, that can support you with outing etc. Give them a call soon as it can take a while to set up.

Please post if you need help with it

I have no idea what sites to use/are available but I know at least 3 people (including my son) who have found partners on the internet. Hope this helps x
