Not many people have studied #Monkeypox, ever
But don't worry, give it a couple of weeks and thousands on Twitter will have done their own research on it.
โYou are 25% less likely to die if you see the same doctor over a long period of time.โ
I canโt find a better case for investment in Primary Care.
A mere 8% of the NHS budget is not enough.
"One of the common mythologies in eating disorders is that they are rare and can only be managed by specialists. The figures show that they are not uncommon and all healthcare professionals should be trained in managing them." @DashaNicholls@LBC about ๏ฟฝbit.ly/3lt6Kqcu
NEW: JCVI interim advice recommends a fourth Covid vaccine this autumn for:
- Over 65s
- Care home residents
- Health and social care workers
- Anyone aged 16+ classed as clinically at risk
ALSO. Monkeypox is a DNA VIRUS. SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus. Anyone saying that one has caused the other or somehow branches from it is NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. Theyโre DIFFERENT viruses. Monkeypox is NOT NEW. It has been around. Science > Conspiracy Theories. Please and thank you.
Currently working on a thread this morning all about Monkey Pox because I am getting increasingly irritated with all the misinformation AND deliberate disinformation currently circulating. Before anyone asks, YES WE HAVE A VACCINE. Itโs the Smallpox vaccine.
Keeping a close eye of the latest updates from @UKHSA on Monkeypox cases confirmed in England. The latest two cases (same household) are not linked to the previous confirmed case announced on 7 May. gov.uk/government/newโฆ

James' health deteriorated over many years and, despite looking fit and well, he was admitted to hospital more than 20 times. "It comes down to training and awareness. Getting help early could prevent so many people from being admitted to hospital." bbc.co.uk/news/health-61โฆ
The very brilliant @DrStuartFlint speaking now at #BOMSS22. Have learned so much about obesity stigma from him and always learn something new when he talks.
A significant number of HCP still believe that obesity can be entirely prevented if people โadopt a healthy lifestyleโ.
This is against all the scientific evidence.
This leads to stigma, weight bias and negative attitudes towards those with obesity.

Given what is very well described in the literature about adverse childhood experiences and maladaptive coping mechanisms, this is going to be a very challenging few decades for this generation.
The daily reminder of non Covid illness precipitated by pandemic restrictions and over zealous rules, which were never proven as beneficial.
But hereโs the proof of their harm.
Honestly think lots of this was preventable through a more nuanced public discussion on pandemic control choices as they were being made twitter.com/casertron3000/โฆ
The Guardian & Labour called for more/harsher lockdown measures.
Those of us speaking out were smeared.
Will they help prevent this happening again?

Whether you think this was genuinely inevitable or not (My take: we could and should have done much better) can we all agree that the (older) adults have a big debt to the next generation to pay back? With interest. #ThemForUstheguardian.com/education/2022โฆ

Yes, it could be a symptom of cancer that needs checking, but even if it is caused by something else, it may be something that can be treated or eased, and no one should live with unnecessary and excessive pain.
If you experience vaginal or pelvic pain during sex, do see your GP.
Also your periods should not be so painful they stop you doing your normal daily activities. If your periods are more painful than normal, or so painful they get in the way of you living your life, do see a GP
Pain during sex and very painful periods are often dismissed or thought of as normal and something to just put up with, but in the words of @Dr_Ellie we need to 'stop normalising the abnormal'. We want people to know that sex shouldn't be painful.
If you have any of these symptoms do call your GP, it's more likely to be caused by something less serious than cancer, but it is always worth getting checked, just in case.
Another key symptom type when it comes to the gynaecological cancers is pain.
These types of pain could be a sign of a cancer:
โก pain during sex
โก lower back pain
โก more painful periods than normal
โก persistent pelvic, abdominal or vaginal pain
