@Marinos_S Why can’t doctors just take functional seizures seriously because they are a neurological condition causing severe distress and quality of life and commonly occur with other a wide range of treatable underlying medical conditions? Shouldn’t be hard.

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

Oh no! Doesn’t sound good for Athenree @GCSB_spy @WhaeaJo

[National Emergency Management Agency @NZcivildefence]

Bay of Plenty Emergency Management have issued an Emergency Mobile Alert to Waihi Beach and Athenree. There is a risk of serious flooding in these areas due to coastal inundation. Follow all instructions from civil defence and emergency services.

@GCSB_spy Stay safe!

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

And so it begins

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@__Adam_M @AnnastaciaMP @TMRQld So you have to go in person to the few service centres and queue up in person. Monday to Friday. Is that a day off work then?

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@TMRQld @davidtickle @Optus This process is inflexible and inconvenient. Are you extending service centre hours? Are you increasing staffing? Why can’t this be done over the phone? What about people who can’t attend service centres?

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@MarkBaileyMP @TMRQld Opening at 9:30 today and closed at 4:30. Not a lot of time to help thousands of people all at once

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@MarkBaileyMP @TMRQld If you were really helping you would open longer hours in the service centre as a minimum how about Saturdays? streamline this process and why oh why is in person the only option?

@FndPortal My theory -due of the almost total abdication of responsibility by neurology. They diagnose and dump the patient with no recommendations for treatment. My son recovered from PNES but only through initial neurophysio plus concentrated intervention from a psychiatry led team

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@MartinPakulaMP Sorry for your loss. Same comment was made on an obituary post last week for a dear friend who died unexpectedly of nothing to do with the vax or covid. POS all over

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@FndPortal Simply brilliant. I wish you all the best for a long held recovery. Our brains are far too mysterious for our medical practitioners to know everything and I share your deep optimism that we are on the boundary of a breakthrough for the millions of sufferers of this disorder

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@Dysautonomia His efforts are appreciated far and wide.

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

So 2/2 of my kids have POTs. Probably 80% of the drs including highly trained specialists we saw would shrug and not even record symptoms like: constantly overheats and does not sweat evenly. Must be ‘stress’

@rsalmond @beerlytweeting Very sad but fond memories. Neil was a huge amount of fun and a bundle of talent and passions.

[John Hewson @JohnRHewson]

Putting in Dutton to move the Liberal party even further to the right completely misses the point. If Dutton is seen as the answer what the hell is the question? This move will not bring us back.

[marquelawyers @marquelawyers]

Pretty good

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

@DanTee2Tech @FndRecovery Good on you. Recovery is possible and good help and care is as essential as courage

[Rowena S @Rowenawozhere]

Mindbendingly good. #analogies

Yes, the boat hit the iceberg, but putting the children in lifeboats is the most destructive thing imaginable to their psyche. It's time for us to stop all this evacuation talk and just complete the voyage.
