Starting a conversation on living ‘well’ with ‘underlying health conditions’ in the new normal. https://t.co/at3cFHVmFe

@gemcarey Oh dear!

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@DiaryofaSickGrl Very much so!

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@Theholisticpsyc I wonder how personality type plays into this concept… but also things neurodivergent impulsivity, where inconsistency is more a normal way of functioning. Is this universal?

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@Theholisticpsyc @Emily_Haig How to recognise this behaviour in yourself, it’s so automatic. How to counter it, and how to deal with the anxiety of being assertive (when you’ve been conditioned that this is dangerous/threatening to speak up).

@annaspargoryan Glen iris has taken over blocks of Ashburton and Burwood.

@DiaryofaSickGrl So true… many incurable invisible illnesses… we reset our boundaries & expectations, and learn to live our best lives within the energy we’ve got… spoons dealt. But we’ll never be ‘better’

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@DiaryofaSickGrl 😡😱… loved your original tweet… right on the money.

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@Theholisticpsyc Hello from Melbourne Australia, I really enjoy your reflections. Thank you 🙏

@krissykneen @AmyRemeikis @JaneCaro Friends kids had a very warm and supportive experience in their Girls School. They now lead a LGBTIQ committee, so relieved to hear it! Come so far since my day

@BexualFeeling That’s ace, mine is a godsend, omg, I couldn’t do it otherwise x

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@BexualFeeling Sounds silly, but also keep checking out different nurses til you find one with the knack. Quiet paths will only have one/two staff so you get the same person x

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@CreakyJointsAus Absolutely this! Yes drug A may dampen the pain but if I’m so dizzy I can’t drive my kids to school it ain’t gonna work 😊👍. Everything is a balancing act

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@BallouxFrancois Absent from policy, discussion & media, some at highest risk have fallen thru gaps unless able to advocate for self, even HCP uninformed. Important to shine light on this too

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@BallouxFrancois Important point. Could you share your thought on subgroups on the severe end-unresponsive to vaccines, unable to take antivirals, unpredictable immune response from both autoimmune & suppression. Individual risk is different to popn risk

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@chronicallybeee Sending hugs & solidarity 🙏

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@BallouxFrancois Gosh, some fair comments here, but severely immunocompromised people understand their personal risk in detail, from any infection, not just covid, daily life is a risk based decision of which precautions to take & still live to the fullest

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@mjrowland68 Fascinating read 👍

[Beck Johnston @BeckJohnston1]

@AdamJBrownMD Ha! Loved hearing the story. Thanks 🙏 Sad for the journey my grandmother had… when the last few years of treatment development have been amazing

[Burnet Institute @BurnetInstitute]

The scrapping of mandatory isolation sends the wrong message that the pandemic is over @CrabbBrendan tells @sunriseon7 "COVID is still here, and the biggest problem we have at the moment is a messaging one ..." @RealOzSAGE @amapresident

@JackieAdamson78 I find twitter fascinating to learn & hear different perspectives, watch society & humans be humans… FB AI just throws me garbage and friends no longer use it.
