FINALLY! Someone saying it out loud on The World at One The explosion in disability since Covid is no mystery. And it’s hitting our children too.

The government used a 2006 biopsychosocial paper by Gordon Waddell to justify benefit cuts

Keir Starmer I would like you to stop infecting our children with SARS-CoV2

Toby Young This is a dangerous and ill informed article. I have pots and it has been devastating and hugely debilitating. It’s not just being dizzy. Many of us were misdiagnosed and gaslight by our GPs for years and the today the lack of NHS specialists means many of us can’t even get the

The DWP PIP system doesn't have a category for POTS, the closest in the system is 'tachycardia'. Funny how the prevalence of tachycardia as the primary condition for which was PIP awarded has increased ~10 fold since the start of the pandemic... #LongCOVID #MECFS

Toby Young My now 17 year old. Can’t eat or drink (has no peristalsis from oesophagus to end of large bowel), neurogenic bladder, 3x stomas to try to feed her and eliminate waste (but her gut doesn’t want to absorb so often she has iv nutrition into her heart), a central line into her heart

I am so tired of people mocking POTS, EDS and MCAS like they are all some little TikTok trend. Who in their right mind would want to pretend to have an illness for clout? We don’t want attention. We want answers. We want support. But instead of support we get headlines and

I can point to tests that show the profound physiological nature of my child’s illness. So could the clinicians who tried to take her away from us. But still they tried, at great cost to my daughter, and our family. We are a pattern, not an anomaly. There is unthinkable

Really need to hold this woman, who lost her child to ME, as she speaks truth to the nation. She literally has nothing else to lose and is speaking only to help others

Sarah Boothby, “Isla's mother has been arrested under suspicion of causing her death from ME last year (heart failure). There was no inquest. Isla's younger sister (15), who also has ME, has been removed from the only people who understand how the disease must be managed…”
