UPDATE 6pm 18/4 :

Thanks to YOU - yes, ALL of YOU - Carla's dad has been able to block the door window off AND neurology will be seeing Carla first thing tomorrow.

This is thanks to the community's action. Not us, not a charity - YOU. Remember that

Looks like Waterstones are sending copies of The Darkest Night out a week early! I hope you all enjoy my little queer, witchy book when it arrives 🌙

(Luckily I had no delusions of appearing on any bestseller lists 😝)

Just over 3 years ago I was discharged from a 7 month hospital stay where I was repeatedly and deliberately pushed to unconsciousness, made to faint on a tilt table several times a week, had the lights switched on and blinds opened when it caused pain

Only a week after tweeting for Millie, we're now having to tweet to

It terrifies me to think how often this is happening to patients like Carla.

West Middlesex University Hospital where is your duty of care?

Karen, Millie, Carla & more when will CFS be treated as the serious multi-system disease it is? Intolerable suffering for these young women. Please hospitals learn and follow NICE guidelines before more people die. GMC Royal College of Physicians Royal College of Psychiatrists

Psychiatrists at West Middlesex Hospital are preventing Carla from being seen by the specialists she needs (neuro, gastro, and cardio). She is seizing, losing consciousness, and losing the capacity to speak. NHS give Carla adequate healthcare

NHS hospitals must stop abusing patients. 23 year old Carla is deteriorating rapidly in hospital due to the psychologising of her very severe ME, just like Millie GMC @rcphysicians Royal College of Psychiatrists

No one should feel tortured at the hands of medical professionals. While drs debate if her condition is psychological, Carla is suffering horrifically, has repeatedly lost consciousness & had seizure-like events that the hospital is ignoring GMC

How many more young women are going to have to be subject to this level of suffering in hospital? How many more are going to die before the world wakes up

Carla is every one of us. She’s you, your colleague, your best friend, your mum, your sister. Her hospital admission is killing her. Guidelines are being ignored. She’s gaslit every second of every day.
