Covid wave is well and truly here. Family member just had an appointment cancelled due to 'Staff illness', the whole clinic cancelled today, the day of the appointment.

Definitely shows that we should mask up in public.

My eye is healing, thank goodness, no need to contact the GP.

Thank you. I'm feeling a bit brighter in myself. xxx

I've not got my shop open right now & haven't been creative in two weeks, as I've had a big life change. I'm trying to find my feet, as they say.

I'm slowly getting over Covid too, still not back to my normal.

Lots going on, I've been stressed, anxious & very overwhelmed.

I have support.

Not forgetting:

Gulf War Syndrome
Camelford Water Disaster
9/11 illnesses & cancers
Iranian Schoolgirl Poisonings

As well as M.E, he's failed these people, I don't understand how he fails upwards.

Like the Tories, the Labour government is trying to drive down the number of people who qualify for disability benefits by insisting there has been an epidemic of “overdiagnosis”: a favourite theme of the BBC and the junktanks of Tufton Street. Never mind the science: what outcome do we want?

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome
Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed

My daughter has made a slow cooker curry for tomorrow: chickpea, sweet potato & spinach. It smells amazing.

Thank you. The first week of Covid, I was really unwell but I'm feeling like it's starting to pass.

Our bathroom scales are crap but Covid caused a big drop in weight. My rings are too loose.

My body dysmorphia has me feeling like what I'm seeing is not the weight I actually am.

I was this weight at 18 years old.

So strange. Stress & Covid.

The first few days were really awful, widespread body pain & headache, high temp, exhaustion. I was off my food for a week. I'm not recovered yet at day 12. X

I'm just coming out of a horrible Covid infection, was very unpleasant. It also exacerbated gallbladder & I have an eye infection.

So, just my flu jab in two weeks.

Was warm and sunny here. Pleasant.

Robin Williams daughter Zelda is pleading with people to stop creating AI videos of her Dad.

I’m pleading with you to stop using generative AI.

It’s destructive to the environment.

It’s destructive to artists.

It’s destructive to humanity.

It steals from us and churns out slop.

Just stop.

I'm so run down with Covid that I've now got a stye in lower right eyelid. The last time I had one, was after my nose operation.

My gallbladder was in full flare up but I'm pleased to say that this has settled for now. Stress had exacerbated this.
