Never thought I'd say this. It's
gonna be harsh and might
give you angry feelings when
you see it. I've come
up with one simple life rule:
Never ever (I know you're
gonna, but please don't)
let yourself feel stupid when
you look at the first words
down the left side of this post

#Medsky🧪 #IDSky #Cardiosky #publichealth In highly symptomatic #LongCOVID patients, POTS is a common comorbidity,with prevalence rates as high as 31% reported in recent studies. The clinical impact is significant, leading to severe disability, reduced QOL, considerable diagnostic & financial burdens

Many of us with chronic illness are stuck in survival mode.

It’s a vicious cycle that can make you sicker, but then the sicker you get the harder it is to get out of survival mode.

It’s one of the reasons we must learn to pace, to rest and to unplug.

It’s ok to take breaks. Rest is resistance!

Today's ridiculous announcement from the National Party penalizing young people and their families had me thinking of this meme again

Love all the colours 😍

I haven't seen one single study that shows it's harmless to keep getting Covid again & again. But there are thousands of peer-reviewed studies that document long-term harms

Thanks, me too!

You’re not helping me look forward to my flight on Tuesday with the kids in tow 😂

And why we tend to keep it all a bit quiet because we can’t handle the disbelief. Hope your crash doesn’t last too long this time 🌷🌻

Did you see the thread a couple of weeks ago about taking antihistamines to reduce the booster side effects? I haven‘t had the chance to try myself. But as someone who is wiped out by the booster I thought it was worth looking into. PS the flu is nasty! Hope you feel better soon

Wellington Mask Bloc - please donate to a great cause if you can

Yellow image with purple stylised mask graphic in a circle and ACA logo

We are so humbled to have met our donation goal of $500 after only two days after launching our ACA Wellington Mask Bloc donation page. Its so heartening that people believe in this cause so much that they are still willing to donate in a recession. We have set a new goal of $1000.

Yeah was thinking of that for your case. We were ‘private’ (ACC) for the appointment and you think they’d want to protect profit (if not people). Likely we will get sent back to public for surgery but regardless it would be nice to see proper masking!

Yeah, similar story for us today for daughter’s appointment, we were the only ones masked that I saw.

This is like an absolute gut punch. Awful 😢

I’ll be a guest speaker at the Affordable Healthcare for All talk, speaking about the dire state of public healthcare in NZ (and how it must be re-built) on October 20, 6pm, in Whangarei.
It's a labour event, but open to any and all progressive people.

Okay Aotearoa, I'm doing another round of Pay It Forward for my female identifying followers or their friends.

There will be 3-4 beauty packages available and the nominator must DM me a name & address for their nominee.

Aotearoa only please.

This is such a lovely thing to do and I know it made a friend who was struggling very happy last time around.
So get in and suggest someone who you think could use a smile.
