With all the snow & ice in the UK, there will be people getting #concussion. If you or someone you know gets one, this is a great guide to recovery & return to activity. Ignore the sports focus, it’s applicable to everyone. sportandrecreation.org.uk/campaigns-an...

Almost 10 years ago, I got a concussion and haven’t recovered. There has been little progress towards awareness, care and treatment of #postconcussionsyndrome in that time. How do I raise awareness of this issue when I appear to be invisible? Other health conditions get lots of publicity and cash.

With Trump’s actions in Venezuela and threats to the Caribbean, will King Charles III (and the UK government) make a clear commitment to protect the Commonwealth countries in the area? What influence does the Commonwealth have?

And I thought 2025 was bonkers. 2026 has topped it already, 3 days in.

Can Kemi Badenoch confirm which foreign culture Walliams is from so we know where he shove sent to?

And don’t worry, tomorrow will prove that you’re not, as your symptoms return with a vengeance.

Looks like we’re tackling an airborne virus by washing our hands again. 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I injured my brain in 2003. Even now, I sometimes question myself. Then I read a personal experience story like this, and I know: this is the #concussion experience or many people. And I don't doubt myself anymore. #NoSuchThingAsMILDTraumaticBrainInjury #mtbi www.cbc.ca/documentarie...

Train station chocolate is so expensive. Decided to go for a bigger bar as the £/kg is much lower. Ate the whole batch anyway 😅

👋We are looking for people with ME's experience of the medical system in the UK c.2012 - especially GET/CBT. Any first hand testimony would be greatly appreciated. It's research for a book & a chance to have your experience inform it's narrative. 🖇️👇 forms.gle/2qxLgWouTNJQ...

On #WorldVentil8Day we are reminding everyone: 💨 Clean indoor air saves lives! 💨 Flu risks are high this year and ventilation, filtration, high-grade masks, and CO₂ levels still matter. We are proud to be a founding supporter of #WorldVentil8Day

Was the opening scene in S10 Ep 1 of Shetland a sly nod to “No Activity”? Two cops on stakeout at a docks discussing dating with an informant in back. Tip turns out a dud.

Watching #GameofWool whilst wearing a crochet cardigan and sat under a crochet blanket. Surely crochet vs knotting is the ultimate contest! 🧶

Over 50% of people diagnosed with #whiplash report symptoms a year+ post-injury. But many symptoms—dizziness, emotional lability, confusion, ocular movement abnormalities, and balance deficits—are more consistent with post #concussion syndrome (PCS). #braintrauma www.frontiersin.org/journals/neu...

I’m confused. I thought #DownCemeteryRoad was set in Oxford? So far, identified at least 3 locations in Bristol, and I’m only 30mins in. Things like this take you out of a show.

If you are an #author of a book (about any topic) who has #MECFS #LongCovid #POTS #fibromyalgia #EDS or a related illness & would like your book to be included on Chronic Market’s new book webpage for people to purchase or know of, fill out your book’s details here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Loving Riot Women. If I had the energy I’d be bouncing ‘round the lounge like it was 1996. Damn you, concussion.

After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season. TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible. christinapagel.substack.com/p/england-is...

I’ve written to my MP. Please consider writing to yours to extend the covid 19 booster to all who get the flu vaccine, as per previous years.

We really need a “Post Office Scandal” moment.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long. There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Not a courtyard.

IMPORTANT: Healthy indoor air has become a human right. ⬇️ 🧪 #healthpolicy Thanks @luckytran.com

This sounds great, but how does it deal with diagnoses of things like post concussion syndrome and ME, which many doctors still don’t accept as real and don’t have any specialists to refer to?

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

I’ll be tuning in every week…to this thread. More entertaining and informative than the actual programme, by all accounts.

Every wondered about dehumidifiers and how they affect your home and health? Check out the latest episode of BBC R4 Sliced Bread, where I get to talk all things humidity! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

We need to include solar shading in any climate adaptation project. Stopping the sun’s heat getting inside in the first place should be priority.

Can’t get over this tagline on a box. Can anyone guess the product inside? #Ventilation

Can’t protest today. Still recovering from a crash yesterday plus had my telephone assessment for PIP today, then needed ‘aggressive test’ ie a lie down after. #TakingthePIP

Dear Angela PIP IS NOT AN OUT OF WORK BENEFIT. Regards Disabled People

If you want a powerful but factual summary of Labour’s upcoming benefit cuts, read this from @johnharris1969.bsky.social - with a bonus take down of Suzanne O’Sullivan’s repulsive “over-diagnosis” book. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I want to see non-disabled people shouting about the disability benefit cuts. If you spoke out about trans rights, abortion rights, or migrant rights in recent weeks? Good on you! If you aren’t doing the same for disabled people, ask yourself why.

Can someone explain why an increase of 1.5% would lead to a complete collapse of UK social security system? Surely making system more resilient so it can absorb this is better than putting nearly 1 million disabled people into poverty? #TakingthePIP #CutsKill www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’ve seen Sean Bean die 3 times already this year. The oft quoted ‘25’ deaths is only up to 2011. Must be many more by now. marypatcampbell.substack.com/p/stump-clas...

This also shows that £5billion for disabled people is a drop in the ocean for UKGov. PIP cuts are a choice, not a necessity. #CutsKill #TakingthePIP

“Let’s research a disease that affects mainly women by only studying men.” 🙄 #OnlyInMen #EverydaySexism

Nearly half a million people in disabled households will be forced into severe hardship if the disability benefit cuts go ahead, new research by @trusselluk.bsky.social shows. No MP who votes for this can pretend they don’t know. www.trussell.org.uk/news-and-res...

The UK Gov intends to hand tens of billions in public money to the fossil fuel industry for a huge wave of 𝙉𝙀𝙒 fossil gas infrastructure. Let's be clear: this is a total scam. They argue the emissions will be captured, but there's a massive catch👇 This must be stopped. scrapcc.org/CCS-ACTION-BS1

Jodey Whiting - a 42 year old disabled mum - died in 2017, leaving a note saying she had no money for food. Now, a new inquest has ruled Jodey killed herself after her benefits were “mistakenly stopped by the DWP.” Thoughts to Jodey’s mum who fought for justice. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Keir Starmer can find billions for weapons factories, drones and a submarine but not for disability benefits or the two child limit. One more time for those at the back: Poverty Is A Political Choice.

@wes1919.bsky.social call out for engineers in/near Glasgow to take part in a "Watts in a Home – Electric Dreams" project:

“I’m in tears reading the stories of what might happen if these further cuts go ahead, which is why I’ve joined forces with others to demand action.” A strong piece by Cherylee Houston MBE on why she and fellow disabled celebs have launched #TakingthePIP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Chronic pain doesn't stop overnight. It carries on, it infiltrates your dreams. You dream about the pain you wake up in. You wake up due to being in pain. You can't get comfortable to sleep properly. It's 24/7.

It’s ABI Awareness Week This week, is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the hidden impact of ABI – from memory loss and fatigue to changes in behaviour and emotions. #ABIAwarenessWeek #UKABIF #BrainInjuryAwareness #InvisibleDisability #Neurorehabilitation

“On a Good Day” is @HeadwaySussex’s powerful campaign and theme for this year’s ABI Week. #HeadwaySussex #ABI #ABIWeek #AcquiredBrainInjury
