Do you know your numbers? High blood pressure often has no obvious symptoms, but it can lead to heart attack, stroke & kidney disease.

This #KnowYourNumbers Week, help support our friends at Blood Pressure UK by checking your blood pressure & encourage others to do the same. It could save a life.
The image is a promotional graphic from Blood Pressure UK with text about high blood pressure awareness. It mentions that 5 million adults could be living with undiagnosed high blood pressure and encourages individuals to check their blood pressure, featuring hashtags #KnowYourNumbers and #MissingMillions.

As a careerist psychiatrist I like to write books & make tv programmes claiming people with #ME and ADHD are a social problem Of course it couldn't be the case that careerist psychiatrists are themselves a social problem...? ...and a problem with such an ironic lack of self-awareness too!

On #SevereMEDay, I stand with everyone living with severe ME and their loved ones. No one should be left without the care, understanding or support they need. The Government must do more to fund research, improve services and end the neglect of people with ME #MissingMillions #DisabilityRights
A dark blue graphic supporting Severe ME Day 2026 on 8 August 2026. It explains that Severe ME is a devastating, complex and life-limiting illness, notes that many people are housebound or bedbound, and calls for greater awareness and action. A highlighted statement says, “I stand with everyone affected by Severe ME and their families.” On the right is a quote from Max Wilkinson MP, Member of Parliament for Cheltenham, calling for meaningful government action and better care and support. Along the bottom are logos and website addresses for The ME Association, Action for M.E., ME Research UK, The 25% ME Group, and #MEAction UK.

For many people, their phone is a lifeline to the outside world.

25% of people with #MECFS are bed-bound or housebound.

Some of those are too sick to even use a phone.

But for those who can, it’s their only portal to community, connection, knowledge & advocacy.

This is a cartoon in 6 boxes. The cartoon series is called - This Week in Disbelief The title says - “It's YET ANOTHER #ME Awareness Month!” Box one is an image of the Google Scholar homepage - the accompanying text says “Would you look at this! Google Scholar has 13,000 articles on the biomedical science of #ME” Box two is the homepage for the BMJ’s evidence-based medicine programme. The text in this box says “And the BMJ has a scheme for rapidly updating new evidence-based science into medical practice!” Our regular character Wise Cat has popped up in the corner to say “So THERE IS intelligent life inside the professional bodies then.” Box three has the images of the main BPSM psych team who have claimed #ME is psychological for decades. There is also a dvd cover from the tv series The Likely Lads Another regular character ‘Mousey’ has popped up to say ‘’Spot the odd one out - it’s NOT the token woman!” Box four is shocking pink with alarm. The words say “Yet the whole treatment of people with #ME remains governed by PREJUDICED-BASED MEDICINE” A mad looking head surrounded by question marks is asking “What, (or who?) could possibly be holding this vast edifice of misinformation, unethical practice, research funding, disability and death in place?” The last image is a cartoon of the author saying “I guess we'll still be protesting this time next year then?” There is someone lying close to a grave and they are saying “Unless they've killed us all first” The cartoon maker is #FanningTheFlames

How the Psychiatric Model of #ME works... This is a cartoon in 7 boxes which begins with an outline of the psychiatric attempts to take control of the illness known as z#ME In 1992 the Wessely School gave directions that in MCFS the first duty of the doctor is to avoid legitimisation of symptoms; in 1994, ME was described as merely "a belief"; in 1996 recommendations were made that no investigations should be periormed to contim the diagnosis, and in 1999 patents with ME/CFS were referred to as "the undeserving sick". Box one - a finger is pointing judgementally at a very confused person. Caption “You're told you don't deserve help” Box 2 - a miserable person is sitting on the floor with knees drawn up. Caption “Your experience is being denied” Box 3 - a person is crumpling under the pressure - caption “Your support network Is denigrated” Box 4 - a crumpled person is in a cage - caption “You can't leave your house” Box 5 - death is stalking your world - caption “You're afraid of dying but can't access healthcare” Box 6 - a person is screaming - caption “You cannot trust the people closest to you” Box 7 a Wise Cat is saying “Has anyone else noticed that the psychiatric model of #ME is really just a form of COERCIVE CONTROL?” The cartoon maker is #FanningTheFlames
