A cross-sectional study demonstrated significant impairments in attention, memory, and higher cognitive functions among a cohort of patients with #fibromyalgia and #RheumatoidArthritis (RA)
I’m taking an Instagram break until after the holidays. You bastards are stuck with me though.
I’m having pain issues and need to self care. (I’ll be seeing my rheumy on the 21st, I can guarantee a switch in meds). I’m also needing to get more support in my life, both emotional and kindness, and possibly house help. But the latter is tricky in this pandemic.
A lot of the #creakyChats community on Twitter seems to have dissipated since Twitter went kaplooey, but the #Discord channel is still there. It doesn't seem very active these days, but it's there, and we would love to see you if you have #arthritis or a #chronic illness. Come join us, we're nice people.
There is a second research study showing possible autoimmune curative treatment that avoids wide spread immuno suppression in patients.
The previous one was regarding a "reverse vaccine". Are there any rheumatologists or researchers on here that can explain these findings in layperson terms?
I'm not the best at #introduction (s) but here goes nothin :002blush:
hoi, I'm mana, also known as momo. I'm an FC leader in #ffxiv and I play on Primal DC. I'm shy, but one of those people who won't shut up once you get to know me. I have a tendency to be introspective/keep to myself when I'm really depressed. I have #cptsd and am #neurodivergent. Also, I'm disabled from #rheumatoidarthritis and #ehlersdanlossyndrome and #fibromyalgia. Most days are good days, but the bad ones are pretty bad :blobcat_notlikethiscry:
I like modding/coding games so I've been learning #blender and #json to facilitate that. idk what else to say butt hi everyone, thanks for reading this if you did! let's be friends?:sbahri_question:
"Medical horror stories from the first year since Roe v Wade has fallen:
• A #Louisiana patient had her water break at 16 weeks of pregnancy—too early for any #pregnancy to survive. She had to carry & deliver the dead #fetus painfully losing a liter of blood.
• A #Wisconsin woman bled for more than 10 days after hospital staff refused to remove fetal tissue from her incomplete #miscarriage.
• In #Ohio a women was sent home from the hospital after a miscarriage, still bleeding & without medical attention.
• Also in #Ohio a woman was blocked from getting an #abortion in the state even after tests revealed that her fetus had kidney failure & heart defects. Continuing the pregnancy put her life at risk, so the woman traveled to Michigan for an abortion.
• In #Nebraska police charged a 17-year-old & her mother with multiple felonies & misdemeanors after the pair allegedly conspired to abort Celeste’s pregnancy on their own.
• A 24-year-old woman fled her home state of #Wisconsin to get an #abortion in #Chicago, only to find out that, upon her return, the abortion may not have worked. Before Roe’s overturning, the doctor could have immediately helped her but now, with abortion banned in WI the woman had to wait, bleeding and at risk of going into deadly #sepsis.
• In #Louisiana, another woman was not able to get in-state abortions even though her #fetus was #nonviable. She had to travel about 1,400 miles to get an abortion in #NewYork.
• In #Ohio two children had recently fled to #Michigan & #Indiana for abortions after getting pregnant through #rape.
• Ohio, 2 women couldn’t get treatment for #cancer while pregnant.
Update: still having my RA flare, although it seems to be moving around to different parts of my body now rather than Everything Everywhere All At Once (a fantastic movie but I don't want to be living it in my joints), so I'm cautiously optimistic that means maybe I'm on the upswing?
Anyway, if I don't reply right away or post much, that's why. Yay, bodies! 🎉🎊
