After a doozy of a flare last summer, I am just starting to get my bandwidth back. When exhausted and shoulder to the grindstone trying to get the basics done, I become a hermit both in real life and on social media. But I am still here and I have missed you all. I am looking forward to catching up on all your adventures. How have you been?

Post Infectious IBS: Road to Cure – Dr. Mark Pimental | IFFGD
uploaded 5 Nov 2023
https://youtu.be/7N9t8zJOlpE

"While post-infectious IBS, as an entity, has been known for over 30 years, recent data suggest that there is more to the story. We now know that this initial infection causes an autoimmune event linked to changes in gut motility which ultimately causes changes in the intestinal microbiome. The combination of these events leads to the symptoms of IBS including bloating, diarrhea and pain. It is now known that this could account for up to 60% of IBS-D. But, moreover, these findings set up a path for the development of new treatments."

Sometimes I worry that having an autoimmune disease will eventually cause me to ignore something serious, because there's ALWAYS something feeling off or hurting. Currently wondering if I am just getting a feedback loop of nasty symptoms that makes it hard to get rid of them, or if there's a more serious root cause. But stress from everything could definitely also be the reason. Sigh. #AutoimmuneDiseases

I assume that this is not neceserrily a helpful thought for people with automimmune diseases, but maybe it is. Allegedly (I have not searched for primary sources for this and am just trusting Ropbert Sapolski in his Podcast with this) there is an eveolutionary connection between the Black Plague and autoimmune diseases. The claim here is that some genetic selection has happend by the Black Plague where some genetic combinations where "immune" to it or at least less likely to get infected or die from it and these genetic strains that are good for avoiding the Black Plague come with the side effect that they do increase the likelyhood of autoimmunic diseases. Of course, that is a wild claim, difficult to proof, and like everything in science just a theory that might be wrong - but assuming it might be correct: It makes me feel like sending a message to everyone with an autoimunic disease out there which is: Thank you for your service in the fight against the Black Plague. We (as in humanity as a whole) kind of owe you lot. Thank you for providing the heard immunity we need to keep this horrible disease in check.

Stanford Medicine scientists tie lupus to a virus nearly all of us carry

"For unknown reasons, nine out of 10 lupus patients are women."

Der Mann hat was neues für #Lupus gefunden - oder wie @kabalak selbst sagen würde:

In conclusion, this study uncovers a new dimension of immune crosstalk: a proteolytic plasma network that generates immunoactive fragments with intrinsic self-regulatory capabilities to modulate #inflammation and tissue injury in complex disease contexts. Deciphering these immunoactivities may pave the way for innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in complement-driven pathologies, potentially benefiting a wide range of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Started new job. It's a few days later, I'm in bed sick now cause a customer gave me something they had.

Thankfully I'm over the fever & headache, broke last night while I was sleeping. I know it's gonna be a few weeks until it's fully out of my system. I do not get paid sick leave so I can't afford to miss, but I do have two days off now. I'll be wearing my N95 for awhile, ect.

Salon: "AI #nurses" as "good as any doctor": #RFKJr. confirms he wants to take away people's #healthcare
He argued that people on food assistance should have their options reduced so they can't buy processed foods. #snap
...but it does creates an excuse to deny health care by claiming that they made themselves sick

His view that sick people did it to themselves and deserve what's coming to them offers a nifty justification for Republicans' long-standing desire to deny health care to millions of Americans. Kennedy may dress this up as "prevention" or concern for children, but the message came through loud and clear: Medical patients are parasites who suck up resources from better, more responsible people
Instead, Kennedy blamed "chronic disease," a vague category that encompasses a cornucopia of ailments like "#autoimmunediseases, #neurodevelopmentaldisorders, #asthma, #Alzheimer’s, #ADHD, #depression, #addiction" and, with special emphasis, #diabetes. I'll leave it to the experts and fact-checkers to explain how badly he misrepresented the diverse causes of these conditions. What matters here is the rhetorical purpose "#chronicdisease" plays: Blaming the victims, and creating the pretext for taking their health care away.

Under prolonged badgering, Kennedy all but admitted he thinks care should be denied if your past behavior wasn't "healthy" enough. "Free speech doesn't cost anybody anything, but in health care, if you smoke cigarettes for 20 years and you get cancer you are now taking from the pool. Are you guaranteed the same right?" Kennedy snapped at Sanders

But this must be seen in the larger context of Kennedy's constant refrain: Most illnesses are a result of what people eat, so almost any health problem can be blamed on "personal choices," especially when you're as divorced from scientific facts as Kennedy is.
