  1. @DenisCOVIDinfoguy

    Hello! Thanks again for all of your incredible work.

    I've just completed a week of nicotine patches (very low dose) for what the GP thinks is #LongCOVID however, I really don't think it is (symptoms started 2 days after Shingrix vaccine, so....). Anyway, the patches didn't do anything for me (maybe b/c I don't have LC?) but I've read they do work for others for #dysautomnia #autonomic issues.

  2. So, I've finally (finally!) found a doctor who has listened and appears to be on the right track.

    After 12months of symptoms that are, at times, very difficult to live with, I appear to have a diagnosis, of sorts.

    I have the #autonomic (#dysautomnia really) symptoms of #LongCOVID despite NOT having had #COVID19 (to my knowledge). Having a COVID vaccine followed by a shingles vaccine one week later was the trigger.

    The treatment?

    Nicotine patches! Worth a try!

  4. wanna know why western democracies consider sleep deprivation to be a form of physical and psychological torture?

    after a certain point even the strongest of minds will capitulate, they will fold, and they will admit to whatever is demanded just to be able to rest. they may have no recollection, no memory, nor cognitive capacity to comprehend the passage of time... the brain eventually shuts down non-critical functions, leaving only the autonomic nervous system to maintain its most basic functions.

    they'll give you five minutes that feels like an hour, six that feels like a month, but never truly rest, prodded back to the conscious realm to simply say, "yes... yes, yes... just leave me be..."

    what may remain of those scattered memories? just rest your head little one, and you may see, in the mind's eyes, that nothing ever changed... "WAKE UP! five minutes!"

    "Part of NIH’s RECOVER Initiative, trials will test at least three treatments for symptoms such as fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue."

  7. CW: My health and Autonomic dysfunction

    We're acclimating my #ParkinsonsPlus from #winter to #summer, & it takes a toll on me.

    Without going into too much detail, but I'm always open to #AMA, my #autonomic system, the things your body does on its own, is shot.

    Season changes means adapting to new stimuli, like heat, allergens, etc.

    Reactions to stimuli includes passing out, dangerous blood pressures, heart issues, etc.

    We're slowly introducing my body back to the new season, adjusting meds, etc

  8. Although #RSV is a serious #health issue, this RSV #ad by #GSK promoting their medication is disruptive in the home and also causes auditory issues for me and others with certain health issues and it needs to get pulled off the air, esp local TV stations

    Imagine this going off randomly in your home, esp in surround sound with #auditory triggers with your #autonomic disease. #Marketing #TV #Advertising #neuroscience

  9. 3/n

    Part 3 of the Scientific American article “Long COVID Now Looks like a Neurological Disease”

    "Dysfunction of the #autonomic nervous system can cause #POTS resulting in a racing heart beat with sitting or especially with standing, fatigue and even bowel or bladder issues. Additionally, POTS may be associated with post-exertional malaise (PEM), or exhaustion after routine activities such as walking, thinking or talking on the phone"

  10. The Thing About Using ChatGPT for API Design

    "For now, it is a compelling tool that individual API designers should be experimenting with. But, given the unpredictability of availability and pricing, it is too soon to declare how ChatGPT fits into an overall design lifecycle."

  11. #Sissy assumed her nightly position & purring so loud #CatsOfMastodon

    Such a joy & relaxer. It does something for my #health to have such as great nurse like Sissy

    This is a Two-fer hashtag toot

    For #MedMastodon, the home pharmacy in background is to keep my #autonomic system in check. Nothing major pharmaceutical wise, just things that make you poo and pee, blood pressure medications & meds to keep other automatic things my body doesn't do now working #ParkinsonsPlus #MultipleSystemAtrophy

  12. Viral AI-Written Article Busted as Plagiarized

    "as Kantrowitz very clearly lays out, the article was a blatant copy of his own, in terms of specific sentences as well as overall message and structure. "

  13. CW: Thoughts on Long Covid study

    Interesting, but beyond my ability to understand fully.

    Still, I wonder why they did an active stand test vs a tilt table test. Wouldn't this miss lots of cases of neurally mediated hypotension/delayed drop in blood pressure?

    Also, I hope I'm using the #MedMastodon tag correctly. I hope it's okay to use it to tag any medical info, not just posts for or about medical professionals.

    Lie to me: Conversation is easily-contaminable trace evidence

    I was travelling a few years ago to the USA, from Dublin Airport, where there is a US Customs and Immigration border preclearance crossing zone. I’ve filled in all the various forms, and am waiting in line to be called.
