HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

This is big: Michelle Mone is being forced to pay back £122m after supplying poor quality protective gear to our NHS during the pandemic. But she STILL hasn't been kick out of the House of Lords. Mone has to go. Agree? Sign the petition today: 38d.gs/lrpq

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has ruled out charging for GP appointments! It’s a great win but we need to get every party leader to commit to it so that, whoever’s in charge, we never get charged. Will you sign the petition? 38d.gs/rycq
To all political parties: Commit to no GP appointment fees EVER
I just signed 38 Degrees’ open letter asking ALL political parties to commit to NEVER charging GP fees - will you join me?

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month.
There are 5 Gynaecological (Gynae) cancers and knowing the possible symptoms as well as being confident to talk about them could be a lifesaver.

We need a government initiative to encourage middle-aged men to have hobbies. If they've nothing else to do than run around town attaching flags at half-mast to lampposts then, really, they need to be taking up stamp collecting, maybe, or model railway building.

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...
