@currys why have you made it impossible to speak to your customer service? Why do you not respond to complaints? Why do you think it's acceptable to not replace a faulty new product within 30 days of purchase and instead give conflicting information?

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

@amandamason1981 A bit better thank you. How are you?

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

Having a day of the worst migraine in years - pain, dizziness, nausea, right sided face droop, and altered sensation (first time that happened landed me in the TIA clinic) and the rest...
Tonight, I've remembered that I've also had two days without 325mg Venlafaxine....bollocks!

@DrSdeG This drives my daughter crazy! Luckily, she started club cricket at about 9 and is now in the Cornwall development sides Under 13 team and is becoming a fantastic wicket keeper and batter.
Lots of girls are getting into cricket now, but still, schools are lagging behind.

@amandamason1981 So-so I would give the experience 0/10 and solidly not recommend it! Hopefully I can collect the prescription on Wednesday. The most annoying thing really is I forgot to collect it because of being so busy caring for everyone and everything else...kicking myself really.

@charlenenairn Most often, no, although just the way I talk or ask questions tends to 'out' me as a nurse.

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

@DrSdeG Absolutely this- sometimes I'm not in the right head space to discuss it and doing so can really set me back. It ok to bring it up and ask- then I know that you will be able to talk to me when I can. Forcing it can damage the therapeutic relationship.

You'd never guess - from the name - what Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 is.
A lot of doctors don't know either.

@WhistlingDixie4 @RoshanaMN @rosieICM @bmj_latest @DawnAdamson6 That doesn't feel right? Lots of women in areas I have worked.

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

@HIPMitchell Tell me more?

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

I want to return to working when I can but unsure what will suit my caring role & other life stuff now...
Previously worked on ITU & cardiorespiratory ward...
Won't be able to do nights or weekends due to caring...
What direction should I look at? #nurse #cornwall #unpaidcarer

We had fun today checking out different flow rates to aid cannula choice 😆 Idea shamelessly stolen from Twitter! (Blood is fake)

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

@onlyjo_po @doc_bipolar I felt the same, but luckily, I was encouraged to do what I could to focus on my wellness - staying in all the time so I didn't feel guilty just made me worse. Once I could face going outside, having a walk or going to the shop or cafe were vital steps in me returning to work.

[Lowenna Edwards @LowennaE]

@DrLindaDykes Oh my gosh soo funny 😁

Them: Autism is way overdiagnosed today. Also, lots of people are saying they're autistic because it's "in."

Me: No. People are finally discovering their very real MISSED diagnoses from childhood because better information about autism is being shared in accessible ways. \1
