Ancient DNA Helps Solve Multiple Sclerosis Mystery in Europe
(MICROGEN IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Getty Images) The secrets of our ancestors might hold the key to why multiple sclerosis (MS) is more common among white, northern Europeans than among Europe’s more southern populations. While scientists have found hundreds of genes to date that are associated with MS, up to a fifth of northern Europeans have a genetic variant, called HLA-DRB1*15:01, that conveys a threefold higher risk of developing the autoimmune disease. Where this variant came […]#mswarrior — Public Fediverse posts

After digging in a bit more, I think I've figured it out:
It represents my battle with #multipleSclerosis -
Told ya'. Orange for neuron. Because it's the color of solidarity with Sclerosis Multiplex community! Here's model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2100675
I'm starting to like the joke "I am lack of healthy neurons so had to print one! And on the right it's neuron before start of SM treatment" XD
But no, Sclerosis Multiplex do not erases neurons, but damages the protective sheaths around neurons (myelin).

I've just had my monthly dose of Kesimpa. It wasn't so bad this time, and usually I just get really stressed out about the injection, which ends up making me feel worse. Today was better!
Here's video, how injection work, because it's so automated 💜

Po 6 latach remisji (wstrzymania) choroby dostałom do kolekcji kolejne dwa ogniska chorobowe, na szczęście nieaktywne, czyli mogłom nawet nie odczuć ich pojawienia się. Może to sprawiły te upały ostatnie :/
No ale tego powodu rozpoczynam kolejny, nowy lek, nowy też w Polsce: Kesimpta (ofatumumab).
Wydaje się spoko, bo zastrzyki będą co miesiąc, a i skutków ubocznych ma ogromnie mniej niż poprzedni lek Tecfidera (codziennie brane kapsułki): obajwy grypo-podobne po zastrzyku (podobnie jak po szczepionkach), czy zakażenie dróg moczowych, oprócz standardowego obniżenia odporności zgodnie z planem leczenia.

Kłirowe wojownicze stwardnienia rozsianego
W Rawiczu odbywa się m. in. całodobowy maraton sztafetowy wokół Plant (~2.8km, historyczne wały obronne starówki).
Udało mi się pokonać 20km w ciągu w sumie 2h, z przerwami 15min i 30min.
Czemu biegam? Pyta się mnie. Żeby sobie afirmować, że SM nie jest końcem świata. Kiedyś mogę przestać biegać, i mam tą potrzebę nadrobienia osiągnięć, kiedy jeszcze mogę. SM z natury wpływa negatywie na ciało, ale mam wrażenie że depresja z tego powodu jest gorsza. Wspierajcie swoje osoby sm-owe 🖤
Świetna sobota - marsz i maraton xD#sm #ms #mswarrior #multiplesclerosis #stwardnienierozsiane #maraton #bieganie #walka #depresja #queer

Ah, it’s starting to be that time of year when it’s dark when I go to work and dark when I come home. At least today I get to leave work early. Not for anything fun, I have my routine visit with my neuro this afternoon. #mswarrior #Buffalo

@rebekajah Hi and thanks for following. Generally I’ve found much more positive interactions with less snarky responses when you ask questions. I’m not necessarily looking at this as a sales platform, although I can attribute at least 1 sale to Mastodon thanks to a review left for my book. I’m across the Atlantic from you in the US, and am a fellow #MSWarrior

I'm going to start the #hnpp tag as it's not here yet. I have it. It stands for Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsies. It's a rare degenerative neurological condition, closely related to #multiplesclerosis.
It means I'm losing my limbs, my legs are around 30% and arms about 50%. My spine is at around 50% now hence needing a wheelchair. I hope to raise awareness and allow others to find me here!
