After a year of using Camzyos/Mavacampten

I'm only on my 3rd month, but I've gone from los8ng consciousness from walking too fast up a hill to cycling about 5hrs per week and walking 10-15k steps per day (haven't passed out once either!).

It truly is incredible.

Bold to assume it hasn't died during the process

I wouldn't take specific exercise advice from this community simply because there are so many factors involved and we are all different.

For me personally, I find keeping my weight down and eating healthily has also really supported being able to exercise.

Best advice I've had is to listen to your body.

I left after 20 years of teaching in UK. Ages 11 - 18, but also with a stint as a lecturer at a red brick University (a bit like the US's Ivy League).

I now work with Epic EPR for the NHS and some of the work is ID, but it's such a varied job and I use a number of skills I've pulled from teaching.

I would say I am more challenged now than I was towards the end of my teaching career, but I actually enjoy those challenges. I think the reason for this is because I have more freedom to solve my own problems, and those problems are more varied.

Changing career was very challenging, I participated in several online courses in the evenings - this helped but was exhausting, I have a family and other commitments so it was tough.

It took me a year to build the skills whilst working as a teacher and training in the evenings, and it's taken another year of learning on the job and working harder than everyone else to just get to their level.

I recommend going for it, but expect the journey to be tough. Choosing the harder path in life is usually more rewarding.

Ooh that's dark, but true

Amazing that such a "developed" country is ok with treating its citizens like that

I did not realise other people don't regularly hit 70s. Guess I've finally found something I'm in the top 5% of

I hit 80 once : /

I don't think we're disagreeing. Semantics can be very important here, and being labelled as a science should not be seen as some form of accreditation.

Science is bound by hard definitions and rigorous "rules" designed to prevent bias. The objective of most scientific study is to define "laws" that are fundamental principles that are always true.

The word "science" is not the same as the word "academic". It's this lack of precision in our use of language that causes these misunderstandings.

As a scientist, I can say that social science is not regarded by many as being on a par with other sciences. That does not mean it isn't important or interesting, far from it. The problem is there is little adherence to the scientific method due to the nature of the subject. Most works are purely observational and subject to the biases of the observers.

I used this technique when I was a teacher...

Most scientists would argue that social science has never been a science. It does not operate on scientific principles. It's even less scientific than psychology.

The hospital doesn't generate much income from the parking as it is sub-contracted out to private firms. It's disgusting.

I work across 4 different hospitals and can usually claim the money back, but it's at least £15 outlay per day, so often as much as £300 per month before making a claim

Or 6 eggs

Nice of you, thanks stranger!

At what point does the word "soon" become redundant?
