@bt_uk been waiting on chat for over 45 minutes! No broadband after days of trying to contact bt. Over an hour trying to get an answer over the phone. Appointments with engineers automatically booked then cancelled! Can someone reply please 🙏🏻
You destroyed a library. It was MORE than a library, it was a food bank, a source of heat for people in the winter, a place for kids from low income families to use the internet, or do their homework. Why destroy something so vital? Yeah you’re so patriotic guys.
The three children who were murdered less than a week ago have now been totally forgotten by the media due to the actions of a few thousand far right supporters. It's heartbreaking.
A woman is killed by a man every three days in the UK
“Domestic” – that word that somehow doesn’t feel adequate – because terror can also happen in the home.
My thoughts on the Bushey tragedy
I really don’t give a toss if someone can’t afford private school fees + 20%. There are parents who can’t afford to buy their children shoes. Let’s focus on them. #BattleForNumber10
National service?
We can’t see a doctor, get a train, drink the water, buy fresh fruit from France oh and rapists are walking free but don’t worry, Sunak is going to train all the young people to go to war. Give me a fucking break.
If you’ve seen the headlines this morning debating whether menopause is a disease and being over-medicalised, this video explains my thoughts.
Menopause is more than a collection of symptoms; it is a cardiometabolic and inflammatory condition which leads to an increased risk of numerous diseases.
Menopause has been ‘medicalised’ for years – including with antidepressants, antipsychotics, painkillers, sleeping tablets, anticholinergics to treat bladder symptoms, and heart medications to lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and control palpitations. The first-line treatment for menopausal symptoms is body-identical HRT.
Studies have shown that when women are given the right dose and type of hormones, their symptoms improve, and they have a lower future risk of numerous long-term inflammatory diseases associated with menopause including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, dementia, and depression as well as early death.
Talking about menopause as being a ‘natural transition’ or part of ‘healthy ageing’ ignores the very real suffering of many women with menopausal symptoms.
Great article in the @nytimes
It states - the female brain is rich in estrogen receptors, particularly in regions that control memory, mood, sleep and body temperature, all of which “work beautifully when estrogen is high and consistent,” @dr_mosconi quotes
For centuries too many people have forgotten than oestrogen is important for our brains to function properly and it is also made in our brains - oestrogen affects more than our gynaecological organs
The fact that women are more likely to develop dementia than women is partly due to hormonal changes but most researchers appear to have overlooked this…
