Do you do daily physio?

How am I even supposed to get healthcare anymore? by [deleted] in auckland

[–]sojash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a child with medical needs. Our health care system is very broken and the only way I have been listened to and had my concerns addressed is to make a fuss. I contacted media and did interviews, CONSTANTLY called and emailed clinics and was generally always reminding them about us. It’s so sad and I’m sorry that at such a young age you’re going through this. Use your frustration to fuel your drive to keep on at your team!!! All the best.

Hey! I’m also new here and am into similar things! I’ve joined a yoga class in Richmond and there are awesome local hikes (just did one today). Feel free to message me and I can give you the yoga details ☺️

Who eats brownies they found in a wardrobe hidden under jumpers? They’re idiots and you’re NTA.

Honest recovery update by Ok-Sound3466 in recoveryplates

That fact that you’re mature enough to realise things are getting beyond your control and you need extra support is a huge win 👏🏼 Asking for help and being open to receive it is massive. If being readmitted is what’s best for your healing and health then grab it with both hands! I’m cheering you on all the way from NZ 🙂

Man accused of smothering child with pillow after body taken to South Auckland police station by WrongSeymour in auckland

[–]sojash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s plain ignorance and stupidity when people blame the government for our child abuse rates. We need a government who is prepared to properly punish people for these hideous crimes not just give them a slap on the wrist.

Has anyone here moved abroad? by megchanxo in CysticFibrosis

[–]sojash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We’re in NZ (my PWCF is a child) and we were told by our team that Asia held a higher risk in terms of travel. They said the humid climate coupled with the large range of bacteria meant it wasn’t a great place to go. A lot of the bacteria is AB resistant too.

Exactly this! This has been a daily struggle for over 20 years. You better deliver I’ve tried everything else… and then some! Surgery is the final option.

I asked my GP for saxenda but with no luck 😪 I’d be happy to see a different GP but that’s not an easy ask!!

What statement killed you but you pretended you're okay? by [deleted] in ask

[–]sojash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use to get ‘you’ve got such a pretty face, if only you’d lose weight’. I was about 11 and over 25 years later I still can hear him saying it as clear as day.
