My Disability Matters News & Opinion Digest |  See the latest headlines  | 21 June 2018


Headliners  >>>  

Main Headline >>>
TransPennine performs sharp U-turn on train access after protest threat
It probably won’t surprise many of you that I am commenting on this main headline, ‘TransPennine performs sharp U-turn on train access after protest threat‘.
I have been a frequent user of Transpennine for well over a decade, since the Liverpool Lime St route ended.  The service is always impeccable, I never have a problem with their services, or staff, and in fact they go out of their way to ensure I have a safe and comfortable journey every time.
Just in case you don’t know my story I travel by wheelchair on the train all the time and Transpennine are by far the best at catering for the disabled.  Yes, I was initially shocked to hear about the introduction of new trains that wouldn’t allow wheelchairs.  Well, who wouldn’t be, what’s the alternative, urm…. no pushchairs, or bicycles!?
It’s time people started being realistic, when it comes to travelling on the train puschairs, wheelchairs, bicycles and luggage all travel in the same space.  Now doesn’t it make sense to add extra trains that give people with bicycles an opportunity to know they won’t lose their space to a wheelchair.  Or the single mum hopping 2 stops up to drop a kid off to school but has no-one to take the baby where does she go? of course these are just basic examples but I can tell you many stories about disabled travellling by train, basically I don’t drive so I rely on trains and buses.
The one thing to remember here is that this is my own personal opinion and I don’t write it to support, or not support the decisions made by Transpennine. 
However, this whole scenario has thrown up yet another ‘patient need’ from outside medical healthcare sector!  YES!! I am pleased they have U-turned on their decision for ethical based reasons.
Personally speaking they should redesign the trains to suit modern day needs.  I have been on a train where there were three of us in wheelchairs, for example, placed in the middle of the aisle in amongst everyone else, and their luggage.  They have safety measures that we must comply to as travellers including where to position our wheelchairs.  It was a ridiculous journey.  Also, luggage racks are not pretty to look at and being placed by toilets is handy but the smell is awful, they place us by the doors, naturally and correctly but it’s draughty. 
They can’t solve all these niggles, but surely redesigning the inside of the train to be more disabled friendly would help to appease the #chronicillness communities, #wheelchairuser communities etc Remember a lot of wheelchair users travel with a companion who is acting as carer so there has to space for them as well but the way that trains are designed inside there are the flip down seats, but then faced with, ‘where do you put your luggage?’.
It would help moms with pushchairs and prams aswell. Market a time when it’s cheaper for us to travel and have specially designed carriage for wheelchairs, pushchairs and bicycles.  Why give us the doorways and that’s it?
What bugs me on most trains is the fact that they are just not appropriately designed for wheelchair accessibility.  Yes, they provide a ramp but the narrow doorways and aisles make it complicated to get to where their allocted wheelchair space is.  Trains are badly designed full stop no matter what company it is. There is not enough space on them so why haven’t they designed a carriage that is more suitable yet!?

Patients, Power, Participation: How Enrolling in Clinical Trials Can Help Ensure That The Future of Pain Medicine is Now | SKILLFULLY WELL & PAINFULLY AWARE | KATARINA ZULAK  | 7 June 2018

Excerpt:

‘Participants in clinical trials have the opportunity to access cutting-edge therapies before they are made widely available, often at leading medical facilities. Experimental treatments can be appealing to individuals who have failed to benefit from conventional treatments. There is no cost to participate in medical research and health insurance is not required. Additionally, some studies compensate individuals who join the clinical trial.’

OA and your lifestyle
constantly texting?!

#arthritis #osteoarthritis #lifestyle #knucklecracking #texting #highheels #vitaminE

Arthritis Foundation E-news | Lifestyle Factors & Osteoarthritis Outcomes | Five lifestyle factors that may be linked to OA.

Here are five lifestyle factors researchers have studied to see if they’re linked to OA:

  • Besides possibly irritating those around you, can knuckle cracking lead to the disease?
  • If your child is constantly texting, is the development of OA more likely in his or her future?
  • Can wearing high-heeled shoes contribute to an OA diagnosis?
  • Is high-impact, weight-bearing exercise helpful or harmful?
  • Can a diet rich in vitamin E reduce the risk of OA or its progression?

‘Managing your arthritis – and the pain and restrictions that come with it – is much easier if you know what to avoid and what can be beneficial. We want to arm you with useful information that helps put you in control!’

Try This, Not That: JA Complementary Therapies  |  Arthritis Foundation E-newsletter | 6 June 2018

JA Alternative Treatments

Complementary Therapies for JA  |  Try this, not that: find out which therapies to try and which ones to avoid.

Many families turn to complementary therapies to help ease the pain of a child with arthritis.

That can be a good thing – just be sure whatever you’re considering works for your situation.

  • Exercising with free weights and activities like jumping rope can improve both physical and emotional health without increasing pain. But avoid high-impact sports.
  • Relaxation exercises may diminish pain intensity … and they cause no negative side effects.
  • Water therapy is a good way to limber up stiff joints in the morning, and relax tight, aching muscles at bedtime.
  • Massage can relax muscles, lessen pain and improve circulation.

Learn all about complementary therapies for JA.

They may provide you with new methods to help manage your child’s pain.

High Blood Sugar Symptoms  |  Diabetes Self-Management  E-newsletter |  6 June 2018  

Excerpt:

‘Signs and symptoms of high blood glucose are often what lead people with undiagnosed diabetes to visit their doctors and, consequently, get diagnosed. But signs and symptoms of high blood glucose can also occur after diabetes is diagnosed and treatment has been started. It is a signal that your diabetes has slipped out of control.’

‘What good is advanced surgery if we can’t even offer proper homecare?’  |  Anna Bawden and Nicola Slawson | The Guardian  |  30 May 2018

Opening paragraph:

‘Almost 1.2 million people aged over 65 do not receive the support they need with essential daily tasks such as getting washed and dressed or preparing meals, according to Age UK. The perilous state of the domiciliary care sector, which provides support in people’s own homes, is one of the main reasons for this, the charity says.’

“After being, recently, introduced to this advocacy platform I can thoroughly recommend folks joining and making use of the Network to help empower themselves, and those of others.

I have been a fan of MAYO clinic for years so am really grateful to have access to such a great platform, especially not being a US resident but rather from UK.  However, FibroFlutters do have many readers from the US and helping to provide you with safe places to go to online holds as much importance to us as finding safe places for our own UK readers to go to.

There’s access to discussions, webinars & MCSMN Blog  depending on membership selection from Free, or, Premium.  Please note that e-patients and students receive a special rate.

I certainly look forward to using it more, and hopefully making a few new friends along the way.”

Health Hats  |  You say you want a revolution  |  By Danny van Leeuwen  |  27 May 2018

Excerpt:

‘One of the things that Victor said was that reformers are important, but healthcare is not designed for health and wellness, care and kindness. The entrenched forces will not fundamentally change with reform. It needs a revolution, a patient revolution. I’ve never been good at putting other people’s labels on myself – I don’t know if I’m a reformer or a revolutionary. During my professional and now activist career, I’ve seen myself as a catalyst for change – sustainable change that continues when you’re gone.’
