@Mr_PaintPots Just getting over very nasty flu acquired in a school setting so definitely do not agree that unwell children should be sent to school!!

@nicky_parr Whenever I mentioned my sons (now diagnosed EDS) poor handwriting to teachers they always said ‘there’s worse’ as though that was a good thing!

[SEND Parent @send_parent]

@drclairetaylor My son was diagnosed with POTS privately but our GP Surgery did NHS prescriptions based on letter from private consultant. According to many people on POTS FB groups this is common. Depends on Surgery.

@drlindalouise As a parent of two children with special educational needs I am depressed by your attitude. I fought hard for an EHCP with special adjustments but you would probably ignore it and arrogantly insist on my son’s needs being ignored and his trying to live up to your own expectations

@iD_Mobile_UK Four of us with Id Mobile phones didn’t get the alert. 2 Iphone, 2 samsung. I guess your system not working

Is it normal to still be upset the day after an EHCP Annual Review? Not one positive thing said by son’s college, opposite to his tutor feedback a few weeks ago. I don’t know if they are just trying to protect their results but they don’t want him for Y2 even if he passes Y1!

@KatePoyner @TeacherBehave @Mellow_Pascoe @SimonKnight100 @bennewmark @AdeleBatesZ @rlrossi64 I was told by son’s school that teachers didn’t see his EHCP because it was confidential, so his teacher didn’t have a clue how to support him 😬

@LowCarbLainey My son took this when he was about 13. Helped for a time and didn’t have noticeable side effects.

@amandajplatell Absolutely disgusting tweet promoting nasty, misogynistic, harmful ideas. You should be ashamed. A smartly dressed, professional woman doing a difficult job deserves respect not insults!

@C_Kneer Hideous pain with hysterscopy. Told doctor it was agony and he just kept saying nearly finished for a further 10 minutes of agony.

@Missymusician81 I had this with a printer which was turned off. When I turned the socket plug off, the sound went away.

@limbostate1 @DecisionsSen @LUC_autism @Lisa_SEND @aut_psych It’s been a struggle for my daughter to be taken seriously by medical professionals for her fatigue and it’s been blamed constantly on her ASD and mental heath. She’s hypermobile and has all the signs of EDS. Not surprising these conditions all go together!

[SEND Parent @send_parent]

@j_ismay_graham @martinimarie @nicholasgfearn Exactly what happened to my daughter. She masked her ASD and was referred to CAMHS for social anxiety and ended up on medication at 13. Diagnosed ASD at 16. No support whatsoever from school.

@AndyBurnhamGM It’s vital that options are available for high achieving young people with chronic illness. Schools and colleges unwilling to cater fro reduced attendance, unable to cope with full time work placement. All alternative provision aimed at learning disabilities/needs. Not inclusive

@sickandsalty Had my Pfizer boister on Thursday. My arm was sore yesterday and I felt a little hot last night but feeling almost normal this morning (Saturday)
