It's #LongCovidAwarenessDay After my 3rd #COVID19 infection in July 2022, I developed #Urticaria (aka #hives ). I never imagined then that 8 months on, I'd be living with what is now #ChronicSpontaneousUrticaria . I've had outbreaks everyday for 8 months minus a week on steroids..

Yesterday a man cycled past me in #Oxford & said ‘get your hijab off’ - Lord Young, if it were appropriate, I’d ask you to show your #solidarity by donning the hijab & joining the #women who daily face #abuse on the streets of #Britain for their choice to wear the #hijab .

There is something deeply disturbing about the way in which charities are monopolising the last ten nights of #Ramadan : ‘automate your donations’ & ‘guarantee your laylatul qadr’ ...seriously? What does it even mean? And what ever happened to conscious morality and presence?

A big change (& esp. depressing as a #foodie ) is I've had to switch to a low-histamine diet to reduce the amount of histamine in my body. Whilst my urticaria is autoimmune (i.e. body allergic to itself), it's also allergenic so foods exacerbate outbreaks..no🐟🍅🍊🍆🥬 & much more

Here's the cocktail of drugs I've been on for 8 months when I wake up & before I sleep: >700mg of #antihistamines , montelukast & famotidine. Most days the drugs help control the #urticaria so that I have ~50 patches. Other days, it breaks through the drugs much worse.. #LongCovid

I take each day as it comes. The morning usually begins with adding the 'state-of-urticaria' to my photo-diary (for the day my NHS appt. comes round). I cancel plans that involve travel & going out if the urticaria outbreak is worse & now prioritise my health over other things...

Businesses can sack Muslim women wearing the hijab headscarf if they work face-to-face with customers or if the wearing of the religious clothing causes workplace conflicts, the EU’s highest court has ruled

Mum had her 1st day back at school today after 22 months out of her #school catering job since the #pandemic hit - she is over the moon & sounded so buoyant & purposeful after a tough two years 🙂 work is such a blessing. This pandemic has been (still is) so testing for so many.

Emphasis on #vaccine #hesitancy in the ‘BAME’ community has overlooked & ignored barriers to access & structural inequalities impacting #vaccine uptake. Strategies must prioritise vulnerable & disproportionately impacted communities. So sorry for your loss @paulchowdhry #COVID19
