Same for iron deficiency…I’ve been low for years and had lots of problems but because I’m just above the NHS bar they don’t care. There are so many people in hospitals and dealing with chronic illness due to issues with fundamental minerals and vitamins.
@LeilaniDowding I'm B12 deficient and it is terrible how little the NHS know about these vitamins(B12&B9) and as a result there are thousands of people in the UK living with terrible physical pain.
My daughter didn’t get a cortisone injection in her hand when she needed it. 5 appointments with different GPs, they eventually referred her because they couldn’t drain a cyst that wasn’t a cyst and she now needs an operation to repair the damage they didn’t correctly diagnose.
@cazzrhughes Before covid to get injection for carpal tunnel 1 apt with gp , post covid takes 3 1 phone apt to discuss problem 2nd for gp examine wrist and agree injection needed and 3rd to give injection. But surgery dealing with 50% more apts than before covid but actually less solved
I would that your inbox is closed apparently you must update your message settings before I can message you. Can’t get hold of you via your website and your process says it’s eight weeks before I hear from you.
We're extremely sorry that some estates of deceased customers were not repaid money from all of their NS&I accounts following a bereavement claim. NS&I will contact estates that are affected and will publish further information in due course. https://t.co/uaWG8eWWtU
@Rkeleven2Rachel@sharrond62 For some women, including me, it has been life Changing going through the menopause. The mental health impacts alone are staggering. I couldn’t have got through it without HRT and we shouldn’t have to if there is something that can help us.
I used this last week for my Mum and got straight through to an acute clinician [doctor) who reviewed my Mum and got essential care to her. This is a good thing to ask for a second opinion when you aren’t being listened to by the ward doctors
@NHSEngland@TheSnoozeDoctor Why is this doing the news rounds again? Seems odd timing given it was only back in Sept 25 that there was a big news push on this.
It's a sad indictment of NHS that you're lauding a call-team of unspecified 'clinicans' to help rather than be listened to in the first place
@noiseannoys78 This is a brilliant album and the two that followed. I lost track after that but have recently been catching up. Colin was so talented. RIP
A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

@SkyHelpTeam what is happening with Sky? Rebooted many times last night. Woke up this morning and still having issues. Can’t get through to real person #skytvdown
Real talk — if someone builds this, I’m throwing my money at it.
Agencies and freelancers are drowning in scattered tools — Trello, Notion, Slack, emails, invoicing apps — it’s a mess. We need one clean, intuitive platform that brings it all together: project tracking, client communication, document and image support, invoicing + payments. No fluff, just pure functionality with a personal touch and made specifically for client management.
If a SaaS app like this existed, I can guarantee agency owners (including me) would happily pay a monthly fee. No hesitation.
Just putting it out there — someone needs to make this happen if y’all are looking for PMF
@TheRangeUK in Swindon shop. Queue thirty people deep with 2 poor staff on the till and no one helping them from the shop floor. Lots of disgruntled people who I’m sure will wish they’d ordered online rather than wasting 20 minutes queuing
