Feeling I've achieved something by learning to use a soldering iron and fixing my vibro belt. Now I can walk further I can enjoy the task of the weekly shop. Yet, an excuse to get out of the house 🤘

People with FND lose their ability to get better or are made worse by COVID and flu, yet we can't get COVID vaccination because, "It won't kill you." No, it just ruins our lives.
I wrote a quick post about the latest UKHSA data on the current flu wave.
christinapagel.substack.com/p/its-defini...
TLDR: we are in a very big flu wave, but Covid levels are low & RSV decreasing. But we should consider extending eligibilty for annual flu (and RSV, Covid) vaccines.
