@grainne_daniels I’ve never seen that before. I like it but I don’t agree with ‘I might never be as bright…’ but that’s me. & I haven’t studied ACT. But I can totally understand not being as bright is good enough. This is my fave, totally sums it up! https://t.co/ZIqnqOvRCk

@TO_dpr Interesting! Like the sound of the new initiative.

@LivingWellPain My sciatica travelled for a while 😆 Then it stayed in my thigh, then it was pain sensations.

@Retlouping I’ve been wearing a mask mostly, not in coffee shops though. Had a cold last April, then had the winter lurgy respiratory thing for Xmas. Deduced that I caught it in a pub just before Xmas, having a coffee with a friend late afternoon. Was not happy!

@joelvsarthritis For years when taking to people I made sure I mentioned the tiredness that comes with pain. The exhaustion. It’s certainly not something that people with no personal experience of pain would recognise as part of the condition.

@ASPolice Was this at Stoke Park today?

@DailyMailUK @MaxPemberton Thanks for highlighting this important topic & that it’s not just about pain. It’s about the person. I think there needs to be an emphasis on recovery - many people are finding relief, partial or full recovery from years of chronic pain by understanding & treating their emotions.

@DeepakRavindra5 My brother in law has FND in the form of non-epileptic seizures. He hasn’t been told this, he’s been told he has epilepsy. He believes the diagnosis & believes meds are the answer. I researched FND. He won’t listen to me. So frustrating because his life could be so different.

@PainChampions CBT was great for me too & has played an important part in my recovery.

@sirpauk A friendly approach now but it wasn’t for a very long time. It was me against ‘it’. It was a battle. Then I became friends with it. Now I give it a nod when it says hi, carry on & check in with myself & ensure I’m being kind, lots of self compassion & relaxation.

@Trewern_K @typejunky @LivingWellPain @livewellpain Thanks @Trewern_K I don’t have sciatica anymore but had it 24/7 for 10 years, excruciatingly, daily, both legs at the same time. Lots of experience/expertise. Totally sympathise with you. Happy to try & help.

[Sciatica Success @sciatica_uk]

@sirpauk That’s such a pity, but as you say, completely understandable in his position. It’s overwhelming enough when you’re not in the public eye.

[Sciatica Success @sciatica_uk]

@devonjane43 Sorry for late response. Happy to try & help? DM me if you prefer. ☺️

@sirpauk I find that soooo hard to do! Somatic tracking… it’s definitely a skill.
