I use a laptop all of the time, but both the ones I currently have are too heavy to put on my knees. So here (we're at the caravan) I have whichever I'm using (long story!) set up on a tray beside me on the bed. Bit of space around the edges is useful for pens, pencils, dibber for my phone...

It only went up online at 8am this morning, so hopefully it'll make the print version tomorrow? Does anyone actually read the print versions of newspapers any more? OK, OK I know there are still a few people who don't have access to the web, but there can't be that many these days.

Merged thread Great Article in The Guardian by George Monbiot published this morning - "You don't want to get better": the outdated treatment of ME/CFS patients is a national scandal Anyone up to writing a letter? I'm afraid I just don't have the energy as have too much going on at the moment...

I'm still using the Masuku masks that I bought a while ago - I bought extra replacement filters. Sadly they have gone out of business. I think they're rather better than what I've bought now. Ah well. But I thought it a good idea to see what else was around. Been following various threads on...

Merged thread Also discussed up thread here The haunting brain science of long Covid Interesting article on Long Covid. Actually mentions ME too! I particularly liked how the chap with ME post Covid describes Brain Fog!

It seems she was jailed some years ago for similar stuff, but it involved forging wills to her benefit. Also forging Powers of Attorney. Shades of Shipman?

Someone posted this article on Twitter - it concerns the treatment of Children in Canada. Sounds much the same as in UK to me.

Merged thread Mwhaahahaaahahahaha! :rofl::eek::rolleyes: Not sure if this is the right place for this, since it's actually psychiatric news... I guess the fact she got away with it for so long is indicative as to how "useful" psychiatry is?

Sky News is reporting on efforts to have FND (Functional Neurological Disorder) recognised better. They've interviewed a Professor Mark Edwards. A charity called FND Hope UK is also quoted. Meeting with MPs in Westminster 8th Feb! :mad: Article here, not found broadcast yet, not sure if they'll...

She's anti-vaccine and anti-mask too. She always seemed to me as a bit odd in her recommendations. This time I think she's gone beyond the pale and should be struck off completely.

Thank you, @Jaybee00, that's a really great article. :thumbup::party::) Music also can bring up stuff like this... Just been listening to "Don't Let Us Get Sick", don't let us get old. By Warren Zevon. Or if you prefer a live version you can find one here. He speaks in the live version about...

The weird dreams I had were more like nightmares than fun weird dreams. I wouldn't wish them on anyone!

Thanks @Kitty! We might get away early next week, but waiting on new sheepskin slide shoes which will be held up by postal strikes. They were dispatched yesterday, so might arrive on Tuesday if I'm lucky. To return to Topic proper... Arm still a little inflamed, but improved from yesterday...

Today the redness around vaccine site is starting to fade, compared to yesterday and day before. It's still hot compared to the rest of my arm. Tenderness is fading, and I have freer movement of arm and it doesn't hurt when I move it now. Unless I go mad and fling it around! ;) Sleep still not...

Just to update... Redness has spread more further down arm, and still hot. But arm much less painful. The thing that has really got me today though is how much more I feel like myself! Yesterday everything I did was an utter struggle and I felt like sh*t and generally weird. But today I can...

Went for my second booster vax on Saturday (OH got it as his third a week ago, as I was such a sprightly spring chicken at 73 :rofl:at the time that I couldn't get the spring booster). No problems at the time. It was the Moderna bivalent vaccine. Sunday sore arm, more like bruised than sore...

I thought I'd put up a link to a (very long) thread that I made about my PIP stuff 6 years ago on the Benefits and Work website. I believe that it's available to anyone - you have to be a Member to post or reply to posts, but I think anyone can see the thread. Sorry it's so long, but it was...

Suspect they wouldn't want our input! I don't think they could take the criticism. But I suppose we should try and communicate? Or is it really just pointless? Remember Paul thingy from Liverpool is one of their top guns. Makes me ashamed to live in Liverpool!

FWIW I replied to Indie Sage on Twitter: Maggie W @ladycatlover May 6 Replying to @IndependentSage @jameswilsdon and 4 others Very disappointed you giving a place to Fiona Fox. Do you know how badly the SMC treated people with ME/CFS? I imagine they'll be just as foul with people with Long...

Paywall, so can't read more than the first 2 paragraphs.
