PGP / SPD My story:

Real Pain Management Isn’t a Crime: ( Uncensored image at the bottom of the post because PAIN MANAGEMENT should NEVER be CRIMINAL .) THIS is just a woman having medicine. Yet in the UK, the way I first accessed that medicine was illegal. That’s the reality of what happens when control, stigma, and money dictate healthcare instead of lived experience. Yes, before I could legally access medical cannabis, I tried marijuana illegally for my disabilities. I was honest about that — even with the police. Once I realised it genuinely helped my chronic pain and quality of life, I went legal. But apparently that honesty didn’t matter. THIS image — taken from a video where I finally had enough pain relief to dance a little and be silly for once — contributed to my advocacy work with Durham County Council being cancelled. It also impacted my employment support after trust completely broke down. People ask why I speak up about “breaking the law.” Because it never should have been against the law in...

Laundry: #SheDidIt ahaha 😂😅💖 For most people, laundry is just laundry… but for me, damp clothes are a full sensory NOPE. 😭😅 The texture, the smell, the whole experience gives me the biggest ick. So honestly? I’m proud of myself for getting it done today. 🫶🏻 Living with chronic pain and fluctuating energy means even “small” tasks can take a huge amount of physical and mental effort. This week has been exhausting, but I’ve still managed to keep pushing through, and I’m really grateful for that. Medical cannabis has genuinely helped me regain some independence and quality of life. When your pain is reduced even slightly, it becomes easier to function, easier to stay motivated, and easier to feel human again instead of feeling defeated by your body all the time. I’m absolutely knackered now and I’ve got a meeting tomorrow… but hey, we keep going. 💖 And I’m grateful that I still can.

Chronic pain warriors will understand this one. When pain hits hard, you’ll search everywhere for the one thing that helps take the edge off. For some of us, medical vapes or prescribed treatments are part of how we manage symptoms and get through the day. Living with chronic illness often means constantly adapting — finding tools, treatments, and coping strategies that help us function in a world not built for bodies like ours. Humour is sometimes how we survive it. Because if we didn’t laugh about the chaos of pain, brain fog, and losing things when we need them most… we’d cry. To anyone else navigating chronic pain, invisible illness, or disability: you’re not weak, you’re resourceful. Every day you adapt, survive, and keep going — and that takes real strength. 💗 Sarah Wingfield  Independent Disability Advocate  KawaiiDollDecora.uk #ChronicPain #DisabilityAwareness #InvisibleIllness #ChronicIllness #DisabledAndProud Alt text: A humorous meme-style image shows a fashion dol...

  A Stoner in the UK. Read it here: 👉🏻 https://amzn.eu/d/1uHEqbv 👈🏻 Medical Cannabis in the UK:  Stories from the Frontline: Medical cannabis has been legal in the UK since 2018, at least on paper. In reality, patients face a maze of red tape, judgement, and impossible expectations. Those who need relief are often forced to choose between pain and punishment, as the government drags its feet on fully legalising medicinal use in a humane, accessible way. This book is a collection of fictional stories rooted in real lives. Shaped by interviews, conversations, and shared frustrations, these narratives reveal the quiet resilience of people across the UK who vape, smoke, grow, and medicate to survive.  Every character is fictional, but the experiences behind them are painfully, recognisably true. This is what it feels like to be a stoner in the UK—not for fun, but for relief, dignity, and the simple right to feel okay in your own body. I am Sarah Wingfield, a prescribed m...

My new Disability Advocating Petition to the UK government has been supported and is now queued! Thank you!  Alt text: Neon graffiti-style text on a dark brick wall reads “FULLY LEGALISE” in glowing blue and pink, and “MEDICAL CANNABIS” in bright green, with paint splatters around the letters. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/742000/sponsors/new?token=6DN8zRHQgtDVaCERP9iJ Please help 🙏🏻  #medical  Allow medical cannabis users a card to purchase cannabis at pharmacies and choose how they administer it. Background: Medical cannabis is already legal in the UK, but in practice, access is severely limited. Patients face long waits, high costs, and inconsistent supply chains. This delays treatment, causes unnecessary suffering, and increases hospital admissions that could be prevented if patients had reliable access to their medication. What we want: We are calling on the UK Government to: Introduce a Medical Cannabis Patient Card, recognised nationally, which allows...
