Sadly, I can pay personal testimony. Still on medication and still symptomatic from #COVID19 heart failure. I suspect there will be a cohort of us with early Ill health and mortality

Agreed Debbie: a difficult watch I remember ringing round to buy PPE because we all knew the supplied equipment was hopeless And the feeling of drowning as covid hit within weeks of lockdown. Was sure I would die Now damaged but lucky to be alive #Covid

My lovely cousin and his wonderful wife both died from HIV after he received factor 8 for haemophilia Such was the stigma at the time he didn't even tell his parents and died aged 40 Such a tragedy. I'm deeply ashamed my own profession caused his death

'Although there is no medication which “cures” autism, a diagnosis can give access to medication which can reduce the associated anxiety and behavioural issues, and talking therapies.' Dr Peter Bagshaw examines whether we are overdiagnosing the condition buff.ly/3YDxzwO

PulseToday Dr Peter Bagshaw Very interesting. I would argue under assessment of neuro diversity. I would love truly see what we can concretely decide as a neuro typical person. Not many I suspect!

I tried to be sensitive in writing this article and am very grateful for the thoughtful and interesting comments. You may also be interested in the podcasts we have done on this and similar topics in our Health and Selfcare podcasts #Neurodivergent #Autism

There is increasing evidence for this: some are now talking of a "brain microbiome" with infection driving chronic inflammation and neural damage. Amyloid may be partly a response to this, given the mediocre effect of anti-amyloid dma's #dementia

Well known as a risk factor for a while. As GPs we should actively deprescribe anticholinergics in older people: safer alternatives are out there #dementia

I gave a talk on this to fellow GPs last year. Sadly, awareness of this condition is still low amongst both professionals and the public Thank you for raising awareness of #PANs #pandas

Important to raise awareness of this dangerous and condition A change in mental health in children should always prompt concern of an underlying infection just like delirium in older people does #PANs
