@CounsellingSam I’m 3 years in Sam, but it still feels like a bit of a void. I’m learning to be excited for my son - living his best life. He’s excited about what he’s learning, good friends, Robotics society, photography society. I’m turning the ‘voidy’ feeling into one of happiness for him.

I feel under pressure to get a job because I'm likely to lose my PIP.
What kind of employer will hire me?
I'd have to work from home.
I could only work about 4 hours a week.

Where are the jobs for disabled people?

@CounsellingSam It’s a nice colour. Enjoy the sunshine!

Dear Rachel,

If you want me back at work (I would love that).

Don't cut my benefits (that will just make me poorer).

Tax the super-rich.

And invest that money into research to find treatments for #LongCovid.

Only then will I be able to get back to work.

@NikkiS_MCSFS No, not happy with the use of brain fog - Cognitive dysfunction is more appropriate.

@RFranNutrition Wonderful news!

🚨 Mythbusting #LongCovid with Dr Amir Khan🚨

Long Covid is real. It’s serious. And it’s affecting millions.

On #LongCovidAwarenessDay, @DrAmirKhanGP joins us to bust harmful myths.

Watch, learn, and share—because the more we talk about Long Covid, the harder it is to ignore.

The PCR positivity map is out for this week.

Given a plateau at 3.3% national positivity for the last week, I expected the map to correspond exactly to trusts having problems.

I wasn't prepared for just how accurate it is.

On this International Women's Day I am thinking about the millions of Afghan women and girls who continue to have their basic human rights denied.
Today it is 1267 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from going to school.

“With one of the largest tuberculosis (TB) outbreaks in US history, Kansas has more to worry about than its Super Bowl defeat.”

Sit up and take note. TB kills more people globally than any other infectious disease - the world’s longest enduring pandemic.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Oh goody! The British public would rather Trump didn’t visit and waste our tax money having to pay for his security and entourage a second time. Please stay away. I wish the King would withdraw his invitation.

@daleethompson The Americans should take a leaf out of the French handbook. We all should.

[Long Covid Support @long_covid]

On Covid-19 #DayofReflection we remember all those we have lost, we think of the millions suffering now with #LongCovid, and we remind the world that Covid Is Not Over.

[Jo Platt MP @JoPlattLeigh]

In recognition of International Women’s Day, I was delighted to draw the House’s attention to the critical issue of gender disparities in chronic illnesses, especially Long Covid and ME.

Bomb shelters across Ukraine were full with kids this morning, kids sheltering from russians that just want "peace".

Here in Ukraine we still somehow don't understand that missiles and suicide drones mean peace, but maybe the US administration can explain to us?
