I BEGGED for help to access safe, appropriate care for Stage 5 CKD. I was dismissed like my life doesn't matter. 💔 I'm now having treatment as an in-patient in 🏥. This costs MULTIPLES of the treatment I need & is much harder on my body.🤦🏻‍♀️ Use your vote wisely. #GE2024

There's no Christmas magic here. I asked Fianna Fáil Ministers Donnelly & O'Brien for help to access Peritoneal Dialysis. They refused. Now I face Christmas as an in-patient, receiving care not suited to my needs. 🏥 Help me go home for Christmas 💔 x.com/dianejmasterso…

You, the Min for Health, said "it's not my remit" when I asked for help to access care for Stage 5 kidney disease. I'm now in 🏥 receiving a form of dialysis I'm not well enough for, until I can access Peritoneal Dialysis. Is bed blocking your remit?? x.com/dianejmasterso…

What about my future? 😐 I contacted multiple FG representatives, and not one of them helped me. I need help to access Peritoneal Dialysis, or I can't leave 🏥. Why would I vote for FG??? I'm 37 & have no hope of a future without proper treatment. x.com/dianejmasterso…

Actions speak louder than words Stephen Donnelly You did nothing to help me access suitable care for Stage 5 Kidney Disease. "That's not my remit" was your response to my request for help. x.com/dianejmasterso…

Magic blood cleaning machine 🤯 This is temporary life support. I hate every second, but without it, I'll die. It's very tough & lowers BP. My BP is already very low. 🤢 Several doctors warned Ministers that this is not the most appropriate care. They were ignored. ☹️ #GE2024

You wouldn't help me when I'd begged for access to Peritoneal Dialysis to save my life. Instead I'm now an inpatient in 🏥, having much more expensive treatment that is not suitable to my needs. How could I trust Fianna Fáil not to leave me in 🏥 suffering? #GE2024

True friends don't question it when you ask them to bring chicken cooked with lots of garlic, blanched carrots & a bag of spinach when they visit you in 🏥! 🙊 15 mins in electric lunch box with a few tomatoes & a little spicy relish makes a very tasty, random dinner. 😋 🍽️ 😋

The magic lunch box strikes again...😍 Roast butternut & red pepper soup with added chicken for much needed protein. 😋💪🏻😋 The ultimate comfort food! 😁

If you vote Fine Gael Fianna Fáil & Green Party Ireland you're ignoring the suffering of many people with long term illnesses. Their ineptitude as policy makers, lack of empathy & unwillingness to engage is causing so much pain. 💔 Please vote for those of us who can't. #GE2024

Outstanding? 🤯 Stephen Donnelly refused to engage when I asked for help to access urgent care at home. I'm 37, in 🏥 having unsuitable treatment just to keep me alive temporarily. I'm totally isolated now, with no hope of discharge without support. This is inhumane. #GE2024

This girl is in a horrible situation. She needed suitable accommodation to do home dialysis but the state wouldn’t help her - she fell between the cracks. Now she is having in-hospital care which is not suitable for her and they won’t release her until she has …

My "essentials" when I'm in 🏥 aren't exactly typical. 👩🏻‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾🐄🥛🧈🧀 Now...who's bringing me a ham & some Guinness brown bread? 👀 Kerrygold Ireland Simply Better at Dunnes Stores 💚

4 months since this video...I'm no less heartbroken & it's worse when you're alone in 🏥. I'm now an in-patient, having temp hemodialysis which is really hard on my body. I feel worse than before admission.🤢 I know I can't do this much longer. It's cruel. 💔

Even worse than the idea of being in 🏥 for Christmas, is the notion that I should go ⬇️ & try to access appropriate care in homeless services. How much suffering do they think I can take?💔 Do I accept treatment isn't working, leave 🏥 & give up?😢 #GeneralElection2024 #GE2024

If you haven't muted me yet, I will be giving out on Bluesky too. 💙
