Part 10: Battling on – two years post total thyroidectomy.

The same story on endless repeat. I’ve been poorly every day now for 7 years. Yes, to varying degrees but the bad days vastly outnumber the ‘good’ and even more so since total thy…

The @coopuk has celebrated and promoted the diversity of it's low paid, 4hr a week Member Pioneer role when it suits the business. But when it comes to redundancy is suddenly ignorant to this...disabled/carer/single parent is not a marketing gimmick. It's people's lives.

Like the creative content - but the message! 🤣 The democracy is tokenistic, the customer pay out gone and are they're not doing right by 700 Member Pioneers (with protected characteristics) during a thoughtless redundancy process. More than ever @coopuk are no different.

At Co-op, we’re run differently. We’re not owned by a wealthy few, we are owned by our members. And because we're owned by YOU, we can do right by YOU.

My daughter got up and the first thing she did was read her book gifted by @BritishLandPLC at @OldhamLibraries and signed by @heyimjarvis. This is the power of #StoryFest - imagining lots of other children might be doing the same, is helping with recovery mode ❤️ #chronicillness

All too common systemic challenge... 'Doctors dismissed these women as hysterical. Now they're fighting back.' Easier to gaslight a women than find out the problem - especially when its complex and rare...too much of this feels familiar. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv22…

So hard why do people make judgemental remarks when they do not understood personal experiences
Jenny (@jeneall) profile pictureJenny@jeneall22 Jun 2024
So tired of the societal belief that people with chronic illness have done it to themselves through stress, not enough sleep, internalised anger or whatever else. Being sick every single day is hard enough without being constantly blamed/made to feel personally responsible.

My illness is the same as any other illness. I am not ill because I haven't loved my body enough. Stop it. It causes harm, it makes life even harder to live and when you think about how many women suffer with chronic illness...well that's another soap box! 😤
