I actually feel hopeful.The🐓are slowly coming home to roost💡the technology that’ll keep us safer is being refined @dbdugger & @fitterhappierAJ exist. Novavax are still in business (right?😆)We can have our Village if we want.We have to get through the nxt tough few yrs😷#denial
I need my friends with Long Covid to hold on. Help WILL come. It is a travesty that it’s taking so long. I hope I’m as right on this as I have been about some other things. More truth will come to light soon too, I suspect. We also need that-for proper treatment to be prioritised
I appreciate that there will be MANY incredible researchers and medics out there, who I’m not aware of. I’m honoured to have the two mentioned, in my Twitter family. Please feel free to drop the @ of any of these heroes, below-esp lesser known-those whose work you really admire🙏🏾

🧵Promised to share a bit more about what I did to keep safer at a surgical consult recently🙏🏾Forgive me for not doing Q&A-I did consider a Space on this theme-seeing as the #gaslighting dereliction of duty in healthcare is now often OUTRAGEOUS but it’s still v.personal So-1of8⬇️
2)This may or may not work but: Share your Covid conscious/IC status w/facility @ appt making stage. Choose wisely-select 1 excellent article or compelling research to email them, to make your point. Go to the ‘organ grinder’😂where possible. Goes w/out saying-be courteous & kind
3) Medical receptionists, Dr’s secretaries & support staff often wield FAR MORE power than you might imagine if you’ve never worked in healthcare. Trust me on that (I’m ex 🇬🇧 NHS/psych)
A support 👏🏾 person👏🏾 is👏🏾PARAMOUNT! BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY find an ally to support every step

#CovidConscious ❤️tips🧵1/On🤞🏾 surviving a long dental appointment.🦷 Quick ‘Kia Ora!’ Initially-no extraneous pleasantries (you can stay gracious AND allow 0 time for potential prevarication).
Walk in (obv masked) plug in HEPA-*IGNORE* huffing & puffing (switch on MAX settings)
2/ Offer N95s to the dentist & nurse(s).
EXPECT- as I received: “Oh (*Implicit tone - Texan style: BLESS YOUR HEART!*) we don’t do that anymore! But okay, we have some, nurse will just go get them.” Internal voice: Damn right you will, mfs.
3/What I said out loud, deadpan: “Oh wow, you guys are immune from Covid? Wow. That’s amazing.”
Took a minute for the penny to drop …😏

🧵 To the few of us remaining who are still ‘alive’ to the UTTERLY traumatic, dystopian landscape we now dwell in. I’d like to say this to you my love, as a psychotherapist who specialises in treating trauma (amongst other areas). You cannot ‘do it all at once’🙏🏾❤️ Pace yourself.
🧵2 / You cannot fight all the time. You need breaks. This IS our new reality (I’m NOT saying we just roll over). The gaslighting, bullsh*ttery, LIES upon LIES. ‘Everything is fine’. THIS is the ‘new normal’. Tragically, we will see some of our loved ones pass too soon…
🧵 3/ … including children we love … in ‘mysterious’ 🙄ways. We’ll see folks develop horrible, incurable - ‘we don’t know why’ 🙄diseases and disorders. We’re going to have to be strong for (ourselves ❤️) them.
