Lane, 29, decided to share her story after seeing an Instagram post by comedian Rosie Jones, who also has cerebral palsy, sharing the Doctor Won’t See Us Now campaign.<\/p>\n
It is calling for annual health checks so people with the condition can avoid long hospital or GP waiting lists when they are already struggling with their health.<\/p>\n
After being diagnosed age two, Lane said as a child she received really “brilliant” care from the NHS, including offers of physio and occupational therapy.<\/p>\n
But when she reached 19, she said this level of support dwindled and she faced long waits for basic support. It was not until a flare-up at 25 where she realised how little care she had had as an adult with cerebral palsy.<\/p>\n
“Everything kicked in and I got referred back to all the specialists I needed,” she said. “From that point, I realised what I missed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lane, 29, decided to share her story after seeing an Instagram post by comedian Rosie Jones, who also…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":421476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[102,2960,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-421475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=421475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/421475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/421476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=421475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=421475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=421475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
