If by 'growths on my eyeballs' she means pterygium, then here's the chart for that in England. Image
If, on the other hand she means conjunctival deposits...

Here's that bad boy: Image
Covid infections... they're a bad idea, I tell you.

😮I want to smash something.
I've just stumbled across the official NHS coding guidance for U07.3 - 'Personal history of Covid-19' - and it left me on the floor.

🚨When paired with the data on the number of times it is currently used, it is a huge unknown national scandal. Image
The ICD-10 codes are the codes that are entered into NHS hospitals activity databases.
So when someone gets healthcare, it's for a reason, so they look up the code for that reason, and put the code into the database.
They're supposed to put this code, U07.3, into the databases when a past diagnosis of Covid (confirmed or probable) "influences the person's health status". Image

There's absolutely zero doubt in my mind that things have changed.

But *how*?

I've been sharing a lot of these graphs over the last month, but each chart looks at the *small* picture.

I have a big picture brain.
So here's a thread about the *big* picture. Image
You can see in this image charts with loads of different *shapes*.

They all chart the same time span.
They're all from the same geographical area and age range.
They all chart the same type of data - 'hospital episodes'. Image
That last bit is important.
These are *hospital episodes*.
That's the number of episodes of *hospital treatment or consultation*.

What on earth is going on.

Seriously.

Where are the doctors raising the awareness about this?
Where are the journalists screaming?

What is wrong with everyone?

Yesterday I started posting a long breakdown of women's health issues that appear to have seen a change of trend since the population embraced widespread repeat covid infections.

This is part two. Image
You don't need to have read part one first.

They're just collations of charts in no particular order, although there is running commentary and some observations along the way, so it is well worth reading that one, and I'll be posting a third too.

Lots of people have asked me to show charts on menopause and perimenopause.

Here they are.

In light of the fact that repeated studies suggest that women are more likely to be develop Long Covid, I think it's really important to know what's happening with the different health conditions that specifically affect women.

This is a painful thread at times. Image
Older working age adults... Image
Less prevalent in over 70s.

But a similar rise. Image
