New #autoimmune disease just dropped: VEXAS, a type of vasculitis. Described at NIH in 2020.

We're going to spend some time walking on a trail in a park with one other friend today. She usually doesn't mask, but she will today. I'm thinking if we all wear well-fitting #KN95 masks outside, it should be ok.

I'm not wrong, am I? Should we be wearing our better #N95 masks outside with her too?

I'm doing that #autoimmune protocol (aip) #diet... currently in the elimination phase - today is day 5, another 25 to go. 😵‍💫

Going to try the #autoimmune protocol diet as some uncomfortable symptoms are flaring up. The one big problem is...no coffee allowed. 😐

New approach to treating #autoimmune disease lupus to be trialed. The study will use CAR-T cells, a therapy developed for some cancers that reprograms immune cells.

“I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder after COVID. Young, vaxed, no prior health issues… Best way to avoid it is to not get infected in the first place!—@o_bel_

Findings in this large study of over 2 million people (1M w/ Covid & 1M w/o) concludes that Covid-19 is assoc with an ⬆️risk of dev various autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid, psoriasis, vasculitis, Graves…

I'm feeling rough. #Autoimmune disorders suck all the cock, and not in a fun way. I need a #soundtrack to match.

Fairytales by The Last Dance is crap, under-produced, emo-metal garbage, and I love it.

I lost this album during my move to Europe and couldn't remember the name. I described it, and sang what I could remember to a friend down the phone. A couple of weeks later, he found it. Mi amorcito.

Cheesy, crass, and moody. So me in #album form.

Prelude, Violet's Wedding, Painted Glass. 🎧👂

Les résultats d'analyse sanguine montre que ça pousse, mais moins que ce que je pensais 🍾 #AutoImmune

“Among #COVID19 patients, completion of two doses of COVID-19 #vaccine shows a decreased risk of pemphigoid, Graves' disease, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia, systemic lupus erythematosus and other #autoimmune arthritis.”

Does anyone have any experience with #ketamine for #fibromyalgia or other #chronicpain and/or #autoimmune disorders? I have several loved ones who suffer and am curious if you have had any relief?

I'm loving that the #Libre app now auto updates BG readings every minute.

I didn't know how I'd do without 3rd party app's widgets but all good so far: just set alerts in the Libre app.

There is a bug with Android where 'do not disturb' disables high/low alarms, despite correct permissions being set in the app to override DND.

Oh Vitamin D, a blessing we share,
Subtle yet powerful, you can heal and repair.
To those seeking solace from psoriasis's despair,
Your greatness can grant them a layer of care.

#Antibodies that attack the body’s own brain or nerve tissue can trigger #autoimmune diseases of the #nervous system such as #dementia, #epilepsy and #psychosis.

BecauseY, a new Clinical Research Unit at #CharitéBerlin, aims to learn more about the disease mechanisms, diagnosis, and ways to treat these neurological disorders. It is receiving funding from @dfg_public. Congratulations & good luck to the team!

Hi @Samantha72 That doesn’t sound good. Hope someone can help you. #Lupus #MSChat #MultipleSclerosis #Autoimmune

I think this simple study (not so simple to gather in space, BTW) will be extremely important in the coming years.

What our immune system decides to allow--or not allow--to happen to us may be behind every autoimmune disease out there. #Science #Autoimmune #ImmuneSystem
