@DougMcfarlane59
Douglas you hit the nail on the head with your experience and statement here.
My family are from Hartlepool. My mum say the exact same thing as you! The Muslim community do a lot for the town, esp the homeless & vulnerable ~ and this is how they get treated
It’s disgusting!
I’m FUMING FUMING 🤬😢
Just argued with my Sister ..
My nephew is ill AGAIN
Sister refuses to test to see if it’s
#Covid
She’s letting other people’s kids round her home and said “she don’t care, because you have to get used to it!” 😔🥲🤬🤬🤬
I’m angry, upset
Thank you 🙏🏻 to all the people who participate in wearing
#Masks
Because you value, respect, care about protecting yourself, others and that of your loved ones from this deadly disabling virus 🦠 we have ripping through the world.
#CovidIsNotOver

The CONSEQUENCES can be HUGE!
You can develop

by 1 infection!
Drs, Nurses, Military/Navy, Police/Fireman/Professionals, your loved ones, Children are all being affected!
@RishiSunak

Yep my sister just tested

Obv she was at work (school) along with other teachers + for
#SARSCoV2
🤬
My sister is currently hosting a sleepover with 4 of her daughters friends 🤬
She don’t care who catches Covid “as it’s not law” apparently to spread it 💔
Ok
@Keir_Starmer
I’m a NHS Specialist (well I was!) until I caught
#Covid
at work.
I’m young, was fit & healthy. Now I rely on a friend to care for me. I can only eat 9 foods/water, as I’m allergic to everything💔
What about us?
#NHS
staff with
#LongCovid
Lost everything‼️
Another argument with my sister this morning
Kids are unwell again - No
#COVID19
testing done to confirm
My sister has told her children that I wish them all unwell with Covid & death upon them 🤬😭and that I’m jealous of them living life
I’ve had enough- I’m at break point
So a friend rang me today. Not spoke in a year. He thought I was fine, living life … I broke down and told him everything💔
He said “ I believe you, since I’ve had
#Covid
twice, I can’t exercise now, I’m constantly sick and is on probation at work”
#longcovid
He WAS proper fit
@JasonS1269
The nurse I verbally confronted with earlier stated she’s just following trust guidelines!
All these fuckers hiding behind this excuse, whilst participating in murdering people due to pure lack of ignorance, integrity and intelligence
New postman knocks door
Him: “oh are you sick?”
Me: I have
#Longcovid
Him: “what’s that?”
I explain….
He says … Noooo Covids just like a respiratory thing. I’ve had it lots of times 💔
*****Our public health messaging is a joke‼️ ******
C what we have to deal with 🥲
I’m in process of being terminated by
#NHS
Caught
#Covid
at work!
They say “how do you know as
#COVIDisAirborne
?!” “You could of got it from the post man or other”
They are using this to their advantage and not taking any responsibility‼️
I’m just a number. Always have been 💔
NHS staff with long Covid are now losing their jobs in droves.
Beware-on applying for industrial illness benefits, if asked if you filled your car with fuel, the application goes no further as you might have caught Covid from touching the fuel pump handle
Oh wow 😯
My dad leaves me a voice note last night saying …..
“How did your allergic reactions start? I was eating some Frosties and the inside of my mouth went into blisters!” Sore
‼️THATS EXACTLY HOW MY FIRST ALLERGIC REACTION PRESENTED 4wks AFTER MY
#covid
infection
This👇 is the REALITY of
#COVID19
#CovidIsNotOver
The new variant is spreading wild here in 🇬🇧 from India.
How the hell
@RishiSunak
do you sleep at night knowing people/Children are suffering like this?! 💔
You could help slow transmission for FREE but you choose to ignore!
@leicesterliz
Liz, I was a NHS Specialist. Young, fit & healthy with my career plan ahead of me. Then I caught COVID at work. Now I’m SEVERELY DISABLED! Rely on care, a wheelchair and an only eat 9foods/water.
I’m too sick to work along with MILLIONS GLOBALLY due to
#LongCovid
alone!
Message from my friend this morning 💔
His 14yr Son had
#Covid
last Xmas. He’s now been diagnosed Crohns Disease. - was in ICU, been in and out of hospital with ulcers over body. He’s 6st and deteriorating
Now this‼️
Where the hell did it get TB
#NHS
Hospital or the Carers?
So my old best friend (precovid)
Messages me after 6 months of pretending I don’t exist because I have
#longcovid
& is disabled now
She messages for sympathy because her family has

They just been on holiday to Spain
What do you expect! - I’m past caring now
🤬😤🥲 🦠 just received a call from hospital

I didn’t sleep well last night worrying about this appt
I’ve had to wait nearly 1year for this appt
#CovidIsAirborne
I have lost literally EVERYTHING to Covid 💔 - not just my health, career, purpose, independence & choices.
This time last year I just tested neg from
#COVID19
My best friend was in hospital dying. I rushed to see him, gave him a 💋 on his head. He died 2 days later 15.4.22 😢
That’s it I’m f**cking DONE! This Virus
#COVID19
#LongCovid
has taken EVERYTHING from me! Even the joy of being able to sit 5min outside in 10 degrees 😔
I am allergic to:
- All food / beverages (down to 9,water)
- All Medications / vitamins etc
- Shampoo, Soap, Toothpaste
@richardhirschs1
@scott_squires
As a Specialist myself I would never dream of not masking whilst attending to my patients & staff
We ALL have a duty of care to keep all safe!
You lost my respect when you said you don’t mask
You are part of the problem!
I’m now disabled because of people like you
Auntie in hospital with blood clots & lung infection
Dad unwell with chest infection
Little Nephew got a “cold” again
- - - -
Ffs We’re DOOMED!
This is not sustainable people!
I know people get sick - but this is not normal for people to CONSTANTLY get sick… is it?!
Over on TikTok LOTS of people complaining of new onset of health problems 🤔😫😳🫣🙄
“My body keeps swelling”
“I keep getting these itchy bumps”
“ since
#covid
I feel so weak & tired”
“I am in pain all the time but but don’t know why”
“My son keeps getting sick”
#LongCovid
This morning I received a very nasty txt mess from my older sister basically saying that she will block me from speaking to her children because yest I spoke about my
#covid
health problems, loneliness to my 16yr & 18yr old nieces
I’ve been crying from 9am😭
I’ve had enough💔
I’ve just had a video call with one of my nieces who I haven’t seen in two half years since falling disabled by
#covid
She’s grown SO much and is off to college to study Criminology
Her sister has just passed her A levels for Psychology, Sociology 🥰
I’m so proud of them! 💫
This is my friend Beth
She suffers from SEVERE
#MCAS
to the point during her flares her face swells and has been known to split open and get infected!
I literally fear for my life everyday with this disease due to
#Covid19
triggering it in me💔
Trigger warning ⚠️ video
Just returned from my Tilt Table Test - no masks at hospital 💔
Cardiologist diagnosis
“I’m de-conditioned” - he said I don’t have
#POTS
based on the results on the test
He said he’s that adamant, he’d go to court!
Not convinced myself, as POTS symptoms presents unpredictably
Scared! 😢
Today I see a MCAS Specialist for the 1st time in 13months of this nightmare of
#LongCovid
I’m petrified! I know she is going to diagnose me with
#MCAS
For me, this comes with overwhelming feelings. The disease is permanent, un-curable, soul destroying.
#COVID19
This is the reality of
#Covid
#SARS
#Longcovid
I was a young fit healthy independent person who had a life ~ was at peak of my career
#NHS
as a Specialist
Now I’ve lost everything - rely care and this devise, in case I can’t make it to the toilet due to my symptoms 💔
@Menka_1
@DrChinEzi
@lizziejbailey
@RebeccaMLiv
🤦🏻♀️🤬 how dare you all stand their posing with no masks on, fulling knowing that COVID IS AIRBORNE!
You are suppose to be professionals yet here your masking everyone question your capabilities and feeding into the conspiracy that Covid is not real or dangerous ! Do better
Update: Had my 1st back to work meeting. I done my best advocating for myself, with rep as additional support. Few niggles to be reviewed before being set in stone ~ but overall happy with outcome
Agreed trial 6hrs p/wk starting March, in my prev role😉
Remotely!🤞
Baby steps!
@sebdave23
I’m so sorry to hear this 💔
It makes me so angry and upset hearing people getting reinfected due to the lack of respect and safety measures from family / society
So … got an email from work (
#NHS
) to complete my “mandatory infectious disease training”
- I’m on long term sick due to
#LongCovid
disabling me! HOWEVER I still completed it..
But here’s the thing…
NO MENTION OF COVID AT ALL 🤔🤬 on the course..
What’s that all about?
UPDATE:
Ive been diagnosed with MCAS, Burning Mouth Syndrome. Referral made for POTS.
Given LDN & Nalcrom to try. I’m scared to take them, but know that I have to try.
I’m so sensitive, reactive to everything!
I feel devastated 💔 but grateful for the diagnosis at same time.
@leicesterliz
Liz, I’m severely disabled by
#Covid
which I contracted during my employment at the NHS as a Mental Health Specialist
Dont you think it’s in the government’s best interests and the economy to PROTECT US from a AIRBOURNE virus
#SARSCov2
that is killing/disabling society?‼️
Chatting to my sister earlier who FINALLY admitted that since she had
#covid
at Xmas - she hasn’t been feeling the same
Complaints of body pain & aches, stomach issues, intolerances Feeling exhausted, unable to sleep
Sounds like
#longcovid
but will she 😷 now? Doubt it!
Door knocks🚪
I answer… it’s my mum & her friend, who have drove 200 miles to visit for the weekend.
😳surprised 🤩- I’ve not seen my mum in 2yrs!
However, no testing done, or masks 😷
It’s raining heavily 🌧️
Feel pressured, scared of Covid
I could not turn them away!
This is the reality of
#Longcovid
#MCAS
#Covid
This cupboard used to be FULL of food that I used to be able to eat. NOT NO MORE‼️
Covid has fucked me up
Since March 2022 I can only eat 9 foods & water.
I am malnourished, weigh 6.5st
Adult. I WAS FIT HEALTHY
#SARS
KILLS 💔
I managed to go for a very very short walk in the woods amongst the most beautiful scenery…. but then I crashed after 10mins😔
Luckily I knew of a bench I could lay down on, whilst I’m crashing out.
This is my reality and also of the millions with
#longcovid
@jubunnies
I totally understand Julie. I caught Covid and is severely disabled to the point I can only eat 9 foods| water due to allergic reactions. I now also react to the UV rays meaning I can’t even go out to enjoy the sun. I feel so trapped, scared!
I wish Covid killed me 🥲
@Menka_1
@DrChinEzi
@lizziejbailey
@RebeccaMLiv
I’m a
#NHS
Specialist - was young, fit and healthy until I caught Covid at work!
Now I rely on a carer
Can’t walk, urinate myself, can only eat 9 foods/drink water. Allergic to EVERYTHING!
Can’t cream my skin, brush my teeth, be around people due to triggers!
Your mocking me!

I need to move to another planet!
Rant time 🥲🤯😡
Just got back from doctors for blood 🩸draw. Nurse tells me her 11 yr old daughter has cancer, currently having chemo
Nurse don’t think

No 😷
Her family had it 3 times so far
I told her my experience
She said I’m a rare one 💔🥲
Really?!
@_BeckDolan
@CounsellingSam
I got Covid at work (nhs) ~ one infection destroyed my whole life! I’m now perfectly disabled, young woman. My work holds no accountability and trying to sack me, as I’m too unwell.
I’ve realised no1 truly cares and only you can look after your best interests. Health being one
I know many of us suffering with
#LongCovid
have COUNTLESS symptoms that affect us greatly each day
I wanted to ask however which symptoms you feel impact you/your life the most, to raise awareness!
Please 🙏🏻 share your experiences👇

#Lifestruggles
@itjohnstone
💔💔 yep I’m severely disabled by one Covid infection caught at work
Wax young fit and healthy precovid and unvaccinated- so I know 💯 it was Covid
Thousands of people commented to this one post on Instagram
Just look at the comments - I’m totally losing hope that anything will change. Peoples opinions of
#SARS
#Covid
is embedded…
They believe it’s gone, a cold, a joke, a conspiracy
They don’t care! 💔
So then
@RishiSunak
@SteveBarclay
@UKHSA
what are you going to do to PROTECT us?! The
@WHO
have confirmed that
#COVID19
is still mutating, still a threat, testing required, need to monitor!
All you need to do is announce 📣 publicly that
#Masks
are required, reinstate tests!
Brief update on
#Omicron
XBB.1.X👇
XBB sublineages incl XBB.1.5, XBB.1.16, XBB.1.9 are dominant worldwide. Surveillance is so so impt.
Be vigilant. Each week millions of people (re)infected, hundreds of thousands are in hospital & thousands are dying from
#COVID19
.
Be safe.
@MAbsoud
@itvnews
How dare you sit there and undermine the TRUTH of what

I caught covid and is now disabled by it completely! I can’t eat/drink, struggle to walk, is in pain 247.
I was previously healthy young female before covid.Ex NHS

For those who care to listen - please protect yourself and your family
@broadwaybabyto
This is what my sister says to me
“your okay because you don’t have to go to work. You can just lay around chilling”

I was a NHS Specialist
Seen 6 NHS Specialists for help, diagnosis. No one can help. Apparently I’m too complex 😔
Now having to pay private to see MCAS Specialist, Dietitian & Counselling.
I feel let down abandoned
I’m Exhausted
of suffering
PAIN emotional & physical that overwhelms my brain, body & spirit
A LOSS that cuts so deep ~ there’s no turning back! > I see people from a different perspective now
Each night I pray I don’t wake up
I’m tired💔
#longcovid
When will it end I ask?
@Ceri_turns
I’ve literally just travelled 200 miles to see my mum after 4 yrs. I’m severely disabled by Covid. My whole family have made no effort to help or visit, even though they live local. When visiting my mum I had to rent apartments nearby to be safe. Made her test. It’s the only way
Just spoke to my sister.
She tells me two teachers this week at her school are
#Covid
#SARS
positive. - still teaching whilst infected
Then she says.. a little boy has just came out of hospital with pneumonia ~ bless him. At least he’s back at school now though
😫😮🤬🤯🤬
@omniphonik
You have long covid
I suffer with all those symptoms and more severe since contracting covid March 2022
I was young, fit and healthy prior
Now absolutely destroyed! Organ damage, MCAS and lots of other chronic illnesses due to covid
So chuffed and proud 😂 that I actually grew these
Just need to see if I can eat them
(I have MCAS due to
#covid
and is allergic to everything FYI)
If not, I’ll donate my crop
Improving ventilation can help reduce the risk of
#COVID19
spreading at your holiday gatherings. You can keep windows open, use exhaust fans, and use air purifiers. A breath of fresh air for a safer celebration.

Didn’t a Uk singer also just die from a blood clot due to long Covid?! This is so crazy how no government or other is doing anything about
#covid
and allowing people to just get infected fall disable or die
💔💔💔💔💔
People need to wake up big time!
I know that 1
#covid
infection has destroyed MILLIONS of lives over night!
It’s taken my whole life from me💔
I can only eat 9 foods/water
Rely on care, a wheelchair and is house/sofa bound
I WAS young, fit & healthy
Unvaxed
Our future as a “healthy” society is no more!
The HIV virus takes 2-8 years to develop into AIDS. The HPV virus takes even longer to cause cervical cancer. We don't know what awaits us five, ten years post-COVID infection, but we keep taking outrageous chances.
@JeremyVineOn5
NHS Specialist here working with individuals with Mental Health difficulties. I can sure you Anxiety & Depression is very real and can be extremely debilitating!
Also…
I have long Covid which has TOTALLY DESTROYED MY LIFE! I am NOW PERMANENTLY DISABLED and CAN NOT WORK! 💔
@ItsDanaWhite
Exactly!
We are nothing but collateral damage to the governments. Just as long as we make them money - keep the economy going, they don’t give a crap about us! We are literally just numbers
We ALL need to unite, make a stance protest not to work. But I know it’s not feasible
@GeoffyPJohnston
@Yahoo
Good on her. Health over wealth and in this case employment
I became disabled by one Covid infection, because my employer & Uk government dropped all precautions.
@BBCMorningLive
@DrOscarDuke
Taking the piss out of wearing the masks using them to tie your hair up is disgusting!
Covid does not discriminate!
EVERYONE is at risk regardless of vaccination!
#COVIDisAirborne
#CovidIsNotOver
You should be telling people to wear the masks to help protect themselves!
I’ve got a date with my sofa and crochet 🧶
During times of crisis, emotional slump - it’s important that we lightly stimulate our brain with something that brings us joy. This helps boosts our vagus nerve function improving our state of mind

@DebHolloway
All we can do at this point is just keep focusing on keeping ourselves safe! The true th is and yes it’s painful ~ but they chosen not to listen and they have chosen not to care or support us during our most difficult times in our lives! 💜
That’s just my opinion x
@lorriberri
💔🤬 banning people who wish to protect themselves
There is definitely a mother here to cause harm. I can’t think of any other reason what benefit it holds banning masks.
Next you won’t be able to dye your hair or paint your nails 💅
@leicesterliz
Hopefully you will support, show empathy for those who are suffering and rely on benefits due to disability!
I was a NHS Specialist CMHT supporting patients into employment. I’m now disabled by Covid (caught at work) and is unable to work!
You need to tackle Covid too‼️
@ClareWilsonMed
I invite you to join our long Covid spaces and hear first hand the truth of what this virus has done to millions inc myself

- or are they are liars too?!
@drclairetaylor
I’m in process of being terminated by NHS. Caught Covid at work! They say “how do you know as Covid is Airborne?!” You could of got it from your post man or other.
They are using this to their advantage and not taking any responsibility‼️
I’m just a number. Always have been 💔
@broadwaybabyto
Firstly i want to say Thank you 🙏🏻
For being courageously, a the kind supportive person you are!
You truly expressed my thoughts 💭and explained all perfectly from your perspective and the many like us trapped by our bodies, mind and world.
Wishing you a brighter 2024 💜✨
This is my friend. She has severe AIRBOURNE & food allergies. She is still waiting to be diagnosed with

No NHS Dr | Specialist will diagnose her and refuses to trial on Mast Cell Stabilisers
She’s being left to suffer and is forced to continue to present at A&E for help
@renudhinakaran
I’m so sorry Renuka 🫂
I too suffer from SEVERE long Covid which has triggered MCAS, POTS, ME/CFS, FIBRO and other conditions all due to Covid which I caught at work as a NHS Specialist
I too have lost everything, everyone and is also losing my career! 💔

@Saffiya_Khan1
It’s not a conspiracy it’s the TRUTH! At the beginning the government put req safety measurements to help protect the public. Why would they do that, if they thought the virus was just a flu? Then economy got impacted = they decided to stop all safety measure putting 💰 before us
I literally don’t know what id do without my e-scooter. Since suffering from

It’s become my legs enabling me to get about without the consequences of crashing as often
I managed to scoot a trail in the national forest to see my first woodpecker & bluetits etc
@Acorn_woman
@ninastarner
Love Harry Potter and Daniel rocks wearing his FFP3 mask!
Clearly he understands the dangers of Covid and how important it to keep him, his fans and family etc safe.
#LongCovid
Clinics in the UK closing leaving patients without any support, access to referrals to Specialists & any medications for symptoms! Ie Heart, Endocrine & Vascular etc
#Covid
is NOT JUST a respiratory disease
We need Clinics to expand & improve not close
