I had mesh put in 2002 countless antibiotics later I’m nearly antibiotic resistant. supporting Sling the Mesh Campaign calling for it to be banned

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

Its time for #NHS @RCObsGyn to recognise
1 More surgeons need solid #mesh removal training
2 Recognise the many yrs experience of @ElneilSuzy
3 Realise this problem is not going away
4 Listen to patient voice & understand women deserve dignity in healthcare

Thank you @WomensHealthMag for raising awareness of what we believe is the biggest #womenshealth disaster of our generation #mesh implants to treat #incontinence & #prolapse often caused by #childbirth #Slingthemesh

@MeshCampaign @LordPhilofBrum @EmmaHardyMP Yes more physios & surgeons needed - but will we ever have enough? We miss the point that we’ve a serious epidemic of #pelvicfloor issues & most of it’s preventable especially that stemming from birth-we must direct efforts at this alongside mangement #OBSTRACT #artofbirth #mesh

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

The Govt admit that #mesh shrinking is among a "range of recognised complications" but adds it does "not necessarily indicate a fault with any particular device." How is a product shrinking inside a woman's vagina acceptable?

#Bristol surgeon suspended from operating Sadly ventral rectopexy #mesh is NOT part of Govt audit Woman tells #TonyDixon she's in pain from sex His reply 'Surely its good when sex is painful' Another found dead a week after filming for BBC

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

Really? I wonder what your royal patron thinks of these. There are far more pressing matters RCOG should be dealing with like 7/10 women in #slingthemesh with lost sex lives & 8/10 chronic pain yet your members say its nothing to do with their #mesh implant https://t.co/S1SV5hrwBi

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

A "scientific" trial without bias? What a lovely idea. #mesh #Slingthemesh #meshmaims #ResearchMatters https://t.co/zHWKlLEWC0

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

Thank you @EmmaHardyMP for asking 8 questions in #Parliament about #mesh implants It's becoming abundantly clear the only way to see the true scale of women's suffering is to have a National Recall

@classybubbles @jimgthornton @waelagur @MeshCampaign @OwenSmith_MP @JackieDP @EmmaHardyMP I was at the peak of my career now i struggle on half pay and having to pay to go to london for all my appointments sitting at home in pain and cold unable to afford heating

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

Dear CMO #Plastic #mesh implant pollution is 100% negatively impacting #womenshealth These devices can change once implanted by turning brittle, shrinking, twisting, degrading, fragments fall off AND THAT PROCESS CAN TAKE MONTHS OR YEARS A good mesh outcome is only 'OK for now' https://t.co/cUGTEnNsCt

[Annette Power @classybubbles]

@jimgthornton @waelagur I find your comment totally offensive. Mesh has destroyed people’s lives and their families. Money cannot buy our health back but help support those that have lost their jobs, homes and have to endure many hospital visits @MeshCampaign @OwenSmith_MP @JackieDP @EmmaHardyMP

[wael agur @waelagur]

‘the rise in lawsuits does not reflect the acceptably low complication rates for slings for SUI reported in the literature’. How about: *the low complication rates reported in the literature does not reflect the true scale of the current problem* #spin https://t.co/8JfVzj9AAz

@jimgthornton @waelagur My partners last weekend removed TVT was slicing through her urethra. 15 yrs of pain and only one antibiotic left with no way of claiming anything as she is outside the time limits. She fights #Mesh to stop others suffering. Your comments are disgraceful and despicable. Wake up.

[Annette Power @classybubbles]

@KensingtonRoyal congratulations on your new role. As a #mesh injured women please could you help our campaign. Mesh has eroded through urethra and now needing major surgery #antibiotic #resistant constant infections @OwenJones84 @EmmaHardyMP @MeshCampaign

[Maxine Cooper @maxinecoope54]

#slingthemesh #Mesh #jeremyhunt #JeremyCorbyn #TheresaMay #patientsafety ....please take a look at what mesh has done to me and thousands of others suffering in chronic pain .taking their own lives why oh why are you all allowing this to continue it is so wrong in every way ...

[Swedish Mesh Support @SWEMeshSupport]

It's not about proper training.

Mesh + crap surgeon = BAD.
Mesh + ace surgeon = BAD.

#Mesh is not safe. Unless you're a cadaver.
