I’m not often on X but as I’m campaigning for @dignityindying to stop the inhumane suffering of those who want to die. I’ve seen all sides, brother, partner, friends that suffer daily at the hands of Parkinson’s, transplant rejection and CF. It my time now

Putting a big shout out to Sara , Yomi , Mandy , Hannah , Amy , Adam and the two young paramedics that attended yesterday. For my mental health it’s back to day zero. Most frightening 24 hours in my life xoxo

Feel like crap, been bleeding all night, going from dehydrated, constipated to shitting myself. Cancelled my week away as I can’t leave the bed (hence shitty grunties. No dignity no doubt

The most important aspect to consider has to be the patient that is suffering #YesToDignity Sometimes that dignity is affected by our interactions with everyday life. I have exhausted myself all thanks to #SkyComplaints Prayers for all affected pal/isr xx

I may have hit the morphine that morning a little too hard, as I had a fall at 9 in that evening. The pain was intense but my partner, Sara, managed to get me off the floor and stop a lot of bleeding from my leg, otherwise #YesToDignity #heart #transplant

I want control and choice over how I die and support @dignityindying View from my bed this morning. I spent all last night awake out of fear and then hit the morphine a little while ago. Managed a lovely meal out Friday and still suffering #YesToDignity #HeartTransplant

Ugh! I may have hit the morphine that morning a little too hard, as I had a fall at 9 in that evening. The pain was intense but my partner, Sara, managed to get me off the floor and stop a lot of bleeding from my leg, otherwise I would have just bled out. #YesToDignity

I want control and choice over how I die and support @dignityindying I was lucky enough to receive a donated heart, but now it’s served me so long I have been turned down for a 2nd heart. Why can Drs take that away yet not offer an option to die? #YesToDignity #HeartTransplant

. @dianaelenaroman just wondered why you contacted me, certainly not about Care, but I suspect more as a journalist chasing a story?

A huge thank to @watsoncomedian. Tonight was special in many ways, but mainly to see a comedian who has grown as a person and his comedy only gets better for it. I'm proud to share his name, morals and his general outlook on life..amost like having a younger brother xoxo

If anyone could tell me who I am, it would be a massive help. I'm thoroughly confused and I feel stuck in the matrix. Name, age, sex, kids...anything to help

Mark Watson is closing for business. I’ve realised just how difficult this last part of my journey is and it’s too emotionally difficult. #terminal means terminal and I barely have energy for those I love. Keep supporting #foodbanks and go see @watsoncomedian xoxo
