@Janetbirdope hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome!

[Prof Jane Simmonds @jvsimmonds01]

We want to learn from young people who have symptomatic hypermobility and who have received physiotherapy in the past one year about their thoughts and attitudes towards exercise and physical activity. Contact [email protected].

We were delighted with the opportunity to represent the EDS UK community in Westminster yesterday, in a debate led by @AndrewSelous MP. It was validating to hear so many powerful testimonies from MPs from their constituents: https://t.co/PsDw59AoHm

Another brilliant article by @DianeOLeary on the philosophical confusion surrounding #MUS (medically unexplained symptoms). No, they're not all psychosomatic: Some people just haven't been diagnosed yet 🤦‍♀️!!!

You’re a GM crop lobbyist not a parliamentarian. Shame we are wasting taxpayers money on your MP salary.

@nickreeves9876 Why’s it too hard to prosecute corrupt politicians?

@JMPSimor @eyejosh We have suffered a Capitalist coup. Does the Queen know about this Grand Theft of her government? If not someone should tell Her Majesty. Might as well be ruled by Prince Charles directly than these grubby traitors at #55TuftonSt working for the Republican USA.

It might be interesting, given the current situation, to read what Ken Clarke once said about Corbyn and Brexit

@BadgleyLaurence Thanks. I have many with shoulder, patella, Sacro-iliac and pubic symphysis that I wish will tighten. Not convinced that UK regulatory and funding bodies will ever approve “proliferation”. NICE frowns upon platelet rich plasma injections by orthopaedic surgeons. Need RCTs.

@trussliz In 1980’s if people chose unhealthy lifestyle, they died early and didn’t cost the treasury in the long run. Now they’re living longer at huge expense thanks to modern medicine and languish for years with dementia. Declare your connections with sugar industry and IEA please.

[V Saravanan @DigitalMedical3]

@iealondon @BlytheeEdwards @PHE_uk is paid to prevent diseases for the whole population. It’s doing a good job as much as many US health insurance and HMOs would like to do the same to reduce health costs for their clients. Declare who pays for IEA and do you have connections with sugar industry?

@johnredwood Gordon Brown cut VAT to 15% after the global recession to help businesses and poor people. George Osborne increased VAT to 20% to cut taxes to the rich.

@EricTopol @JAMANetworkOpen @pkroth @marklinzer Response rate skewed towards Physicians. We wrote te a lot even before EHRs. What about the surgeons?

@EricTopol Trying to figure out the atrocity - Trump’s Plan to buy Greenland, Modi’s Kashmir adventure or Israel banning the members of US Congress.

@carolecadwalla If Al-Qaeda or Islamic State fund an election campaign will Tory Politicians and Police be quiet? Or if Corbyn had been funded by a rump of KGB or PLO will the right wing press and BBC be quiet?

@BadgleyLaurence Can you use a different term than Prolotherapy? It’s meaningless to many clinicians outside the specialist area. If you want acceptance for a new treatment mainstream we need to simplify the sales-pitch.

[V Saravanan @DigitalMedical3]

@BrexitBin @GeorgeAylett Harman was afraid to vote down George Osborne’s first budget after the general election when she was caretaker leader of Labour Party as she was afraid that Labour would be branded economically incompetent. This directly led to Corbyn’s ascent to leadership. A double disaster!

[V Saravanan @DigitalMedical3]

@wesstreeting @jeremycorbyn We must keep Seamus Milne out of No.10 Downing Street. Is he any better than Dominic Cummings. Corbyn is the reason why Remain lost. Give us a break.

[Carole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla]

Dear Twitter, there’s no point being outraged by this. That’s the plan. What we need is more investigation & to hold him to account. And we can’t if he’s trying to shut down the press. Don’t fall into his trap. And don’t let him get away with it
