Sometimes it's good to feel left out or left behind. The first in a series of 7 posts where I explore my personal silver linings of managing a career with chronic illness. https://t.co/ex3jwgxOCW

@MattHaighPoetry wow this has taken off, nice work @MattHaighPoetry ! I bet your words are beautiful, and thank you for raising a lightning rod for all the poets living with #chronicillness to find each other.

@chrissyfarr We'll make great strides, but eradication is not possible unless we understand and mitigate all causes. As our treatments evolve, so too will the range of factors that might increase incidence of some cancers, often the more severe types it seems. https://t.co/gB6iXP2dZc

We are keen for people with CF to help us test CF Tummy Tracker - an app to record tummy symptoms. Could you do this for 14 days? If so, check out the app! https://t.co/2Wm4OttM4e

@ruskin147 Ah my goodness I recognise that look in her eyes, the ears constantly on the lookout for trouble, those timid movements. Two years on and my own scaredeboy from Romania is doing amazingly well. He's a dog about town now!

"I’m reminded of the greatest form of healing that hospitals can offer. One that isn’t necessarily about treatment of the body. A chance to detach. To reflect, recover and reset. " https://t.co/9QZdRxDyRC

Conservative MPs, this is what you’d be voting for

BREAKING: The Government.

[Caitlin Moran @caitlinmoran]

I wonder how much longer it will take for the Conservative Party to finally start discussing that it was Brexit that has destroyed them? An indigestible madness. Like watching a worm eat a bomb, then pretend it hasn't exploded.

Hard to imagine any govt being dumb enough to try & trash NHS nurses to the press, but I wouldn’t trust this one not to.

Please know that your NHS nurses are paid pathetically poorly, work insanely hard & are balloting for strikes out of desperation.

Please support them ✊💙

So, is it actually possible to come back from a #careerbreak and not become a... career or life #coach? Idle Tuesday thought. #careeradvice #personaldevelopment

[ellyfoster @ellyafoster]

Realising I'm not the only one who went silent online for a lot of #Covidtime ...Why was that? You'd think being more vocal online the logical response during the isolation but so many feeds went dark in 2020, looks like a lot of people are only starting to speak up again now 🤔

I just wanna burst the big "if you eat well, exercise lots, be positive, try hard, get enough sleep and avoid stress then you can never be sick or disabled" bubble that the world covered itself in

[ellyfoster @ellyafoster]

@kiddlybean @doctor_oxford Because there's a shortage of over 20,000 GPs in the country that's why.

@Abilty_PTR @WinVisibleWomen Good to meet you too! Thank you for the walk. I will check them out 😀
