🤯 Never thought I'd be co-authoring an abstract for submission to the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (@EULAR)!
Stepping outside my comfort zone has been an incredible learning experience. ✨ Fingers crossed for acceptance! #Research #Teamwork #lupus

Zuckerberg clearly thinks I’m a bigger threat to his empire than a cup of tea. First @WhatsApp , now @instagram ? I’m starting to think he’s got a personal vendetta against me. #banned #zuckerberg #socialmedia #injustice

An excellent day at @LUPUSUK National Council. Lovely to hear all the amazing work of our volunteers across the country. Special thanks to @chriswincup talking to us on a Saturday about CART C therapy in lupus . #thanks

The cynic in would say @LloydsPharmacy @MFTnhs really don't want to hear feedback. Another day another 2 hours wait for medication. In that time I can see a consultant and have my bloods done with time to spare. @MFT_MRI 12 years and still awful. The #nhs is broken.
