MND WARRIOR. diagnosed with motor Neurone Disease Did love street food.😢 But loves to travel.
Takeing one day with my amazing wife at time
.
SURPORTS NHS.
So my twitter firends today is a sad day. I have been diagnosed with stage 2 motor neurone disease. What I thought 2 weeks ago was a sore throat. Was not. I actually lost my voice along with muscle wasting.. Its a wicked incurable diease. But I know you lot have got my back. 😊
42 years as a plumber. 11 months unable to work diagnosed with MND Disabled No means tested benifits. After yesterday I feel so worthles My contribution to this country has meant nothing. Is it worth going on? Dragging my wife down with me.
The tories have done this. I'm broken
This is my amazing wife And it's her birthday today🎂🎂🎂 without her amazing care and surport through this journey of MND. I doubt I would still be here. Please my twitter family could you wish her a wonderful birthday. And all carers .They so deserve so much more surport ❤️🙏❤️
My new followers
I need to make you aware of one thing. As I had a tweet correcting my English. I apologise but I'm dyslexic and slightly autistic. This is why I chose to be a plumber 46 years ago as I'm good with my hands. So if I make a spelling or grammar mistake I apologise.
That's it... No more more plumbing
Had to say goodbye to all my customers who I built up over the last 35 years. I was surprised how physically upset they were . My business has gone in the space of 3 months THANK YOU MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE. NOT.. 😢🙏❤️🙏
So. My wonderful twitter family. The next step in my journey with motor neurone disease Diaphragm is getting weak. Night time for the moment. I'm hating every minute knowing there's no going back.
Please

F.... Motor neurone disease. ❤️🙏❤️ Have a lovely day my wonderful twitter family. 🙏❤️🙏🎂🎂🎂
So Boris has potentially got another 3 fines pending but met police won't release details until after the local elections.
Unbelievable. Is this a stitch up. Me thinks yes...
My wonderful twitter family. On the 28th of January 2023. I was officially diagnosed with MND.And given a DS1500 with a life expectancy of 6 months. I'm now comeing up to my first anniversary. I thought what better way to celebrate than do a tattoo.What do you think 🙏❤️🙏
High my wonderful twitter family.
Just a update. Unfortunately M. N. D. is takeing a hold now over my muscles. So from a van three weeks ago. I'm now in my new wheels top speed 4mph.🤣🤣 . Least that's the end of speeding tickets 🤣🤣
🫣🫣😰 Going into hospital early tomorrow (hopefully) to have 4 nerves burnt away in my back. To help with blood flow in my leg. Blood pressure is through the roof worrying about.. A few positive thoughts woukd be so helpful and reassuring. Thanks gang..
A lady gave my wife a envelope and said please give this to your husband . She was a customer of mine 2years ago. Inside was a card and £100.
Inside was a message. I've heard your struggling financially. You were such a careing plumber that I want to give a little back.
F.. K MND
TODAY IS MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE AWARENESS DAY.
It's been 6months since my diagnoses. And I'm struggling. 40years as a plumber and it's all gone. I Feel like a nobody. I can't express how I feel to my beautiful wife. As she is struggling in her own way So please spare a thought🙏
Unfortunately Im dyslexic. Considering Im terminally ill, focusing my energy into spelling isnt my priority.
I find it upsetting that you feel the need to correct my spelling/grammar, when all Im trying to do is raise awareness of the disease.
You're welcome to unfollow 😊
my wonderful twitter family. Unfortunately I lost a few followers. Pehaps it the reality of this evil diease (MND) theses pictures are 10 months apart. I'm lucky I'm still here many are not. If you fancy following or retweet my journey please

what have I learnt in the last year Being diagnosed with MND.
1. Do not rely on this government for surport.even though you paid your taxes for 42 years
2. Do not be married to a imigrant. for 16 years. You will be punished.
Thank you all so much for your surport. Happy 2024.

Sorry but I need to say this. This guy is amazing and you my twitter family need to retweet the hell out of this.
This is where the awareness comes. Not from the government but from amazing people like Ian Marsden thank you. 🙏❤️🙏
Update 😢everything was going so well. Chinese nerve burning brilliant. Chinese herbal teas brilliant. Saw a improvement in M. N. D fasculations.
AND THEN BOOM COVID.
Now no power. No smell no taste struggling to breath. 😭One step forward three steps back. I just want to cry..
@gallagherj82
So a polite note on the windscreen stuck with superglue. Saying please do not park across my drive way

Hi my wonderful family. Just a M. N. D. update muscles are slowly disappearing on the right side of my body. Everytime I use my arms they tire so quickly. The fatigue is unbelievable. But it's not a sleep fatigue . It's a body fatigue horrible feeling. Fasculations have spread 😥

@danwootton
Do you know that 422 people died from Covid today? Over 41,000 people have Covid today. That's just with the scant amount of testing being done today. How many more people have it & are passing it around because we're not testing. And you're celebrating that.
Apparently I reached my limit on who I can follow today. Please don't worry tomorrow I will resume following all of you who I have not been able to today.. Thank you all of you. You been so kind...
So he is the deal I'm in twitter jail for three days. But I found out I can follow 1 person roughly every hour or send a tweet roughly every hour. And I can like as much as I like. Very very strange. So am I on a suspended sentence 🤣🤣🤣
Got to love the ignorance of people who do not understand motor neurone disease. And how if affects us.. Wake up and do your research before you make these kind of comments. 🙏❤️🙏
So.... I do not know what I done or said but over the last few days I have lost 300 followers 😢 I am very outspoken as regards to MND. As I belive we need to have a voice. So I will not stop confronting the issue we face on a daily basis.. And if it upsets you.. Tough.. ❤️🙏❤️
Hi to all my firends on twitter. A update all when very well. Little proplem with blood. But I have a, warm foot and toes again😊😊😊 I'm so happy. Unfortunately just have to wait a further 15 months for the other leg. Staff were amazing thank you NHS your my celebrity's 😘😘😘
SIR KEVIN.
Thank you so much. You and your team are amazing people. I thank you from the bottom of my heart..
I'm suffering with MND. and seeing you do these amazing things.
GIVES ME HOPE.. ❤️🙏❤️
So I bought my darling wife a beautiful expensive easter egg. ❤️ She didn't buy me one. 😥 Not a problem
But the sad thing is I just caught her in a darkened bedroom eating the easter egg as she did not want share🤣🤣 bless her. Why I love her so much.. ❤️❤️
So it's OK to give loads of visa to Indians. But not to desperate Ukraine family's not to clever it minded refugees. Its, appalling I can't get me head around Boris's thinking pattern. And sorry to repeat but this is a country that SURPORTS RUSSIA..
Unfortunately Pehaps not nice to see. But this is the reality of motor neurone disease. Not just for the suffer. But there family's and firends.. Please be aware.. 🙏❤️🙏
Another warrior leaves us. And so young 😢😢😢 to many are passing.. Millions and millions of money but nothing. Everyday my hope gets smaller...... 😢😢 I just want to cry... Not die... ❤️🙏❤️
This amazing woman has been a inspiration in my journey with MND. Please give her a follow. Plus it's her birthday today. So let's make a good one for her..
Fuc. You MND.

@RobservationsUK
Again this question shoukd not be raised. I am dyslexic struggle with spelling words. So rely on predictive text to help me. But at 62 I struggle with the grammar police correcting me. When they do not know my personal issues.
These are the facts. And this is reality. I know some don't want to see it... But please remember it Coukd be you. Or a loved one. One day gets a devastating diagnosis... We all need surport. In horrible times. Don't you think!!!!!!🙏❤️🙏
IF YOU THINK THIS IS WRONG PLEASE RE TWEET TO

To all you wonderful twitters out there. Yesterday was a day from hell. For many reasons. I was given a SR1 from my palliative care nurse.😥

Sorry. Unfortunately I was born dyslexic. And slightly autistic. I rely to much on my auto correction. But sometimes it fails me... That's why I trained as a plumber 46 years ago. Because I was better with my hands than I was with my brain...
