Happy New Year! And so excited to kick things off with some personal news. I start today as director of public affairs at @pensionbee. Couldn't be happier and just can't wait to get going 🥳

@kate___said @CovidSolidarit1 Well we are hardly out in public at all - but yes I do.

Complete activity limitation, in the case of my two kids. One can’t walk without dizziness and headaches, the other ends up back in bed for weeks if he tries to go back to anything like normal.

@Dan_Wyke My son has this since long covid and we all have splotchy palms - things we never had before - docs couldn’t be less interested in these signs

@khalil_hinawi Hello 👋

@GreenTrolled @LongCovidHell The stress this is causing and the displacement of energy that should really only be going into getting them better is insane

@LongCovidHell The GP won’t issue any more sick notes for either child - ‘it’s outside of primary care’ - the school will only accept sick notes from the GP or else absence goes down as unauthorised. Can anyone tell me how I am supposed to navigate this with a very ill child in the middle?

@LongCovidHell Thanks. I think they’d rather I took them out so it’s two less ill children in the system to deal with. Not going to let that happen - going to keep the dream alive of return to school life for my kids

@GlimmerInAbsnce Blood isn’t always thicker than water - your situation has shone a light on other people’s true nature - it’s no reflection of your worth

@CovidSolidarit1 Am not defending it but it’s because they have 15 mins max and no budget for proper deep testing of actual conditions - so it’s on your way til you are acute. Preventative medicine is a pipe dream and so much more than diet and exercise

@starryLights007 @CovidDataReport @GidMK It's the UK - most kids here are unvaccinated - it's not a thing here

@HarryBoby4 This is all so helpful as I try to feed my long covid kids, thank you 🙏

RT @baldypidge: #longcovidkids. Rosie was fabulous as always.

@baldypidge Very brave and smart girl doing something to try and help others when she feels worse than anyone without long covid can possibly imagine. Well done and thank you 🙏

@baldypidge @_CatintheHat @jameskirkup @ExtroSpecteur We have them too. I am sure they help. I feel like all we can do is never enough, though. Not if what we are striving for is going back to a normal life

@TanteRos Ah hello

@useless_priest Some people take far more - I've taken 7/8g when ill or coming down with something. Often it fends things off.
