@tottenhampunk Yeah cos then it's not another weird disease coming to destroy your life, right 🙃

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@beffybadbelly You can have topical NSAIDs (I have ulcerative colitis) so does voltarol (OTC topical diclofenac) give you any relief at all? Aspirin is the other OTC option - can you take that? Otherwise I think you're stuck with what others have said.

@MusicOfLee Number 6!

@MusicOfLee Vals poetico by Granados. It's just a beautiful piece of music that speaks to me

@tottenhampunk Have a great half term! Often in my job it's quieter in the school holidays (even though I work for a university) but next week looks crazy 🥲

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@tottenhampunk Oooh leafy fibre is a no from me. I tolerate fibre pretty well for someone with IBD and I'd think twice. Peeled root veggies are your friend! Broccoli might not be too bad either, see how you go

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@tottenhampunk I'm sorry, I hope it improves soon, and if not that the various medical professionals are responsive and helpful

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@floschechter Am I bad person for finding these funny? I'm sorry you were going through a hard time!

@TinyWriterLaura When I was 17 I had flu, norovirus and my period on the same day. I thought I was literally dying

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@tottenhampunk Look after yourself and go to the doctor if you have any worrying symptoms. Remember us IBDs sometimes need medical intervention when others would be fine. And I hope you feel better soon!

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@tottenhampunk Honestly we can't win. I ended up using a walking stick for some of last year (rare UC symptoms, yay) and mostly people were ok but occasionally I'd get side eye and I could see they were thinking I was too young. If only thick skin came with it!

@B4dminResults @TwototheHour @LizardOrman @PacerClara And they're still on the 4 day working week! It's made our bin collections so much better over bank holidays and I assume much better for the people working too

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@tottenhampunk Ugh it's always so annoying when something which is normally fine causes an issue 😕 I hope it passes quickly!

[Carlsberg. @Carlynotcarley]

No, 'real disabled people' aren't offended at 'fakers' claiming PIP because it virtually never happens. DWP themselves say it's at 0.0 % . That's because so many people that NEED it are denied it. Let's try being angry at the real problems in society not disabled people.

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@tottenhampunk We all need our IBD buddies!

@oldenoughtosay I feel this can be solved with a paper map, a pair of compasses and some coloured pins

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@oldenoughtosay The humane traps on Amazon worked for us earlier in the year - good hunting!

@Feisty_Waters @theLUCASTDS With this style I bend the wire backwards and forwards a few times at the fold before I put it on. Then I smooth it down over my nose as I fit it and this seems to help the wire settle into a comfortable fit. I hope this is helpful! A fellow masker

[Jennie Flint @JennieFlint]

@beffybadbelly I see you. Sending hugs
