My chemist told me this morning that there is now zero stock of the medication which holds my whole life together. Most likely until the end of November, which is a terrifyingly long time. A scary & dangerous situation for so many people. #elvanse #adhd

There's a National Patient Safety Alert on ADHD medication shortages - this is incredibly dangerous for a group where the suicide risk is 5x higher.

Please sign & share this petition - it's urgent: https://t.co/jxWckXtEjT

Recently we got a letter from Orla, a pupil at Roslin Primary School, asking for support for the Eco Committee. Pupils needed equipment to help them keep the school & community tidy. We donated & dropped off pickers, vests, gloves and buckets. Well done Roslin Primary!

Before and after @campbeeslackASG

Thank you so much to @MrBurt101 and the @RoslinPS team for making it happen ♥️

Very almost the end of an era for these P7s

@adamfare1996 I regularly open the bottle then can’t remember if I’ve taken them or not. Or have a really tough day then realise I didn’t take them. I have a daily pill box now to help (when I remember to fill it) #adhd

That is why there is an upsurge in diagnoses- we have learned, we know better. We no longer have to mask through #rsd and fear. The benefits of knowing & working with my brain instead of fighting against it are huge.

#ADHD is trending - I feel I need to add my voice to the many who struggle with the stigma & misunderstanding attached to the diagnosis. It not only changed but saved my life, after 20 years of the wrong meds for conditions that were actually symptoms. 🧵

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

The grief, anger, trauma of spending 30+ years of your life not knowing why it all seems so hard is huge and is currently being experienced by so many women who weren’t diagnosed as children because they didn’t fit the stereotype…

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

@Weefeedee Mine too 🫣😂

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

@EDI_Airport @suegyford Saw 1 black cab to about 40 private hire whilst stood there.

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

@EDI_Airport @suegyford Not true though - no signage saying it’s all one queue and ‘fixed extortionate price’ now for either type. Wasted 15mins with 4 others queuing where black cabs used to be only to then be told to join the massive private hire queue. £47 for a 20 min journey. Really poor service.

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

@Palestalemale1 @EdinburghZoo Me too! Tickets in basket vanished when tried to check out 😭

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

@AerLingus On an overnight 9h+ flight full of children? Not really the standard I expected. Why not say that in the email so that people can actually try to prepare in advance? Will the claim form above work given that I originally booked with @British_Airways please?

[Connie Hornsby @CDocherty2]

@AerLingus Can you help with my question please? Is it the same situation on todays flight? Does the No wifi email mean no entertainment/seat power?
