[ProventusUK]

The problems that were depicted by our charity have been resolved. Proventus is a small charity run by volunteers who experience more negativity from the large health charities than any other organisations. We do work to resolve personal problems in a hands on way and the purpose of showing what people have to endure is to expose what little help they receive from the large health charities who have millions of pound pass through their hands

this is terrible so many of us are just left its so so wrong in UK

[soundcloset]

Forgive my ignorance. What would it take to repair the ramp? Are there neighbors? Are there home centers (hardware stores, lumber yards) in the UK? Is there a mechanic who could repair the wheelchair? The point of the video may be England's health care system, or lack of awareness on a national level of the situation of individuals, but the specific items mentioned seem manageable by her community...perhaps even the volunteers in the video. Where is the church? Where is her family?

Wow! I was considered to have a preexisting condition because it took several physicians several years to diagnose my MS. According to my health records, I was denied. Every system has people that fall through the cracks. Let's talk more about insurance, my mother paid into it for decades and when she needed a bone marrow transplant to save her life from leukemia, she was denied coverage for the surgery, but they spent a pretty penny killing her with chemotherapy. GO USA! *barf*

How can you let some live like this

@svlomicky Right-wing bollocks. We are proud of the NHS, for all its faults. what sort of life would Jackie have in the US?

[svlomicky]

This is Britian's health care system! We, in the US should be aware and afraid of state run health care. My insurance has provided me with an electric wheelchair, ramps, railings, a bathing chair and a raised toilet plus all the medicines to help relieve the syptoms of MS. Shame on Britian's policies toward health care.

Has anyone talked to you about Neltrexone? LDN-Low Dose Neltrexone. Women usually take. 4.5mg or .5 mg, Please look up on the web a mans story about his recovery using LDN. His name is Bill Robers, from Sylacauga, Alabama.. LDN is cheap. Not costly like the preventive drugs. Please study up on this therapy..it would be worth a try. I have been taking it for over a year now. I have MS..I am a survivor going on 29 years. I will take LDN until they find a cure..God Bless you...
