I've been away from speaker gigs since my own family #bereavement in October 2024. Now I'm back talking about #Grief and loss in the supervision space.

ticketswap.com/listing/new-da… Just listed 2 tickets for sale on this site. 19th October in Manchester. New Dawn Fades, a play about Joy Division I've offered them at 50% discount as can no longer attend as my Mum is seriously ill.

Don’t let your past mistakes define you. Be the change you want to see in the world #EURO2020 #ItsComingHome

@ITVXhelp @ITVX It would have been helpful to know there was a time limit and we would have binge watched. We were only half way through. Its a puzzle why much older first series is still on there though 🤔

@JuliaMenaul @ITVX Hiya, we apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you. In response to the enquiry you made regarding The Dry series 2 , we have received an update confirming that this content is sadly no longer available due to our licensing agreement having expired.

@ITVX #itvhub Where has second series of The Dry disappeared to?

@criscre123 Sending love and concern. ❤️bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

My husband has dementia. He thinks I’m cheating on him. I go to work everyday and come home. I’m 67, I’ve had one man for 40 yrs I certainly don’t want another. The problem is he’s becoming violent. I don’t know what to do. He used to get better , not anymore.

@today_but_then @SoVeryBritish My first bf at age14 was called Bonzo and his elder brother was too so he got called Little Bonz. Their name was Jones.....Bones....Bonezo....Bonzo. Little Bonz would be 61 by now 🤣

@SoVeryBritish My school pal was called Bonzo. He was called that because his older brother was too. No one knew why. Bonzo is now 55 & still no one knows why. I can’t remember his real name. Also my brother is called PEJ. Paddy’s Eyebrows Join. Someone said it when he was 11. He’s 60. 😂

Yesterday, I heard someone say they had a colleague nicknamed “Photo Finish” because they always leant slightly forward while walking. What’s the best nickname you’ve ever heard?

@drlouisenewsome #HRT supply issues, methinks.🙄 I'm wondering who the other 3 women in #stafford are who have the other three quarters 🤔🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ #Menopause

Thanks 1pm @BBCNews for the graphic item on sewage while I'm eating my lunch 🤮🤢

@fasc1nate She admired the baby and had to go get her own baby awww 🥰 ❤️❤️

@fasc1nate So lovely

@kokeshimum @drlouisenewson My mother was made to come off at 70 after 20yrs because she developed PMR & needed steroids. Never been sure if that was actually true. Now 85 and still gets hot flushes. Why was she not put back on HRT after weaning off steroids. She didnt know to ask.

@drlouisenewson My mum is almost 70. Still suffers terribly with night sweats and a range of other menopause symptoms. I’m trying to convince her it’s never too late for HRT but sadly she’s scared because of all the bad publicity. 😩

I have just read a paper titled “Menopause and hormone replacement therapy in the 21st century” and wanted to share two quotes from the paper that are particularly important: “Despite the numerous published articles on the myriad CV protective roles played by oestrogen in the premenopausal woman, it remains entrenched in the medical management of menopausal women that HRT, if prescribed at all, should remain a short-term solution, using the lowest dose possible to minimise night sweats, and only be considered for systemic use to address night sweats and hot flashes, rather than to maintain optimal CV function. The unintended legacy of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI), which tested the wrong ‘hormones’ (not human-identical and given orally), on the wrong subjects (too old), must now finally be ended.” “The time has arrived to shelve the WHI and its limited applicability to the lives of menopausal women. Human-identical transdermal estradiol and micronised progesterone should be offered to most menopausal women, particularly at the menopause initiation. Menopause has a powerful negative impact on the CV health of women. They deserve to be offered HRT, using hormones identical to those produced by human ovaries, and the hormones should be prescribed in the most physiological manner possible.” There continues to be controversy regarding the use of HRT and this is primarily due to the misleading results published following the WHI Study. Many of you will have heard me talk before about the WHI study before (which is now over 22 years old) but for those of you who haven’t - it was a study done looking at women who take HRT. The media misinterpreted the results from the study and presented the risk as far greater than it actually is, which meant a lot of women now feel confused and anxious about HRT. As it says in the paper I am sharing with you today, it is time to shelve the misleading findings from the WHI study and start focusing on some of the beneficial effects of body identical natural hormones in the HRT we prescribe today - which show us that not only can HRT provide effective symptom relief, it can also reduce your future risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, clincial depression, osteoporosis and dementia.

@SoVeryBritish Life without books is not worth living.

You get £100,000 in cash but you can’t read (or listen to) a single book for five years. Could you do it?

@MollyConisbee I have a "Brad bag" ( my son is called Brad) I fill it with random stuff during a month or so including multiple packs of Staffordshire oatcakes for his freezer which he can't get in Bolton.

Does anyone else's mum send them home with a giant bag of random food after a visit? For context, I am well into middle age 🤣

Well done @BBCMorningLive @jacquijdesigns for showcasing the impact of 'turning away' from bereaved friends & neighbours. Here are a few ideas for getting back in touch with people you feel may awkward to approach. Graphic by @mlalanda from my book, 'Listen.'

We’re incredibly saddened to announce that our friend and colleague Steve Wright MBE has passed away. We’ll miss you greatly Steve. 🧡
