My daughter had Severe ME, POTS & MCAS and died in 2024 after years of medical neglect.
I am also the parent carer of a younger daughter with ME & POTS.
Loves to see cute photos of cats, birds & animals so I can share with my daughter to brighten her day

Sometimes it is difficult
To know which way to turn,
But listen in those moments,
There’s often lots to learn ~
Life will give you challenges,
Oceans you must cross
But the best time to find yourself
Is when you’re feeling lost.

On #MECFSAwarenessDay I'm calling for government to #FundThePlan.
A plan for #MECFS with no funding is no plan.
It's time for government action.

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

This came up in my fb memories today. Isla wrote about her pushy GET driven OT and @tymestrust published it. How I regret being referred to that OT.

It's Children's Grief Awareness Week. The toddler here is now 14 & trying to deal with the loss of her sister Isla. Like Isla she has ME & POTS, a cruel twist of fate that these conditions make dealing with grief so much harder. Emotional energy causes so much PEM.
