Very accurate thread on the impact of the pip application process on disabled people. My own application was so stressful it left me off worse for months. The outcome? Nil points and a one liner dismissal. This is what happens when you incentivise assessors on how many people they turn down...

On #LongCovidAwarenessDay, we should be out in our millions on the streets, protesting the lack of support and treatment for #LongCovid. But we can't. We are in our homes and beds, struggling to get by. So, with the little energy we have, we do what we can to demand change ✊

Such awful news. Ondine was tireless, fearless, and completely dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for #LongCovid - she was also funny, fiercely intelligent and kind. My thoughts go out to her family, friends and everyone at @longcovidsos.bsky.social

Since I've been ill with #LongCovid I've had so many people wanting to give me advice on what I can do to get better. Most of the time this is coming from a good place. People want to help me and I understand that. But I can find this difficult at times. Short thread on why.

The SARSCoV2 virus causes Long COVID, a complex long-term condition that cannot be ignored any longer, by governments, workplaces, or health services. Many of those affected by Long COVID were once healthy, active adults, who enjoyed a positive working life, but who are now unable to return to work.

CW: mention of assisted dying . . . . I have severe M.E. I want health and social care to step up for me and make my life more bearable. I DO desperately want to live. That is my personal preference and right. I don’t want to be offered assisted dying instead of crucial support. #pwME #MECFS

I’ve spoken to three friends this week who are exhibiting signs of Long Covid. Two were blaming it on early menopause - the third on “aging” (at 32). Long Covid denial is a serious issue. The condition can manifest 1000 different ways - and many people don’t even realize they’re dealing with it
