@Brad It’s likely, going forward with research, that the term “autoantibodies”, will become more familiar with a general population.

We went grocery shopping for the first time in person tonight wearing our N95s. I hope it wasn't a mistake. 🤞

@AlliFlowers @rdearman I spend 7 years in the bathroom everyday. #autoimmunedisease

The thymus may well involute during life but it's certainly not functionally redundant!

In its absence...
- ⬆️ all cause mortality
- ⬆️ cancer risk
- ⬆️ risk of autoimmune disease

"To characterize the community structure and associated functional processes driving gut microbial involvement in arthritis, the Inflammatory Arthritis Microbiome Consortium investigated 440 stool shotgun metagenomes comprising 221 adults diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or psoriatic arthritis and 219 healthy controls and individuals with joint pain without an underlying inflammatory cause."

'Unexpectedly, this drug-repositioning study did not identify drugs that are currently used off-label to treat specific systemic disease manifestations of pSS (such as hydroxychloroquine, leflunomide, mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone) as potential candidates.'

Finally getting around to sewing new #tangodress although concentration is very badly affected at this time. I'll persevere, have to distract myself in some small way from the flare up.

Having #autoimmunedisease sucks. #ADE

Had to withdraw from both #tango events this weekend as something is brewing and my immune system has gone into a hypersensitive cascade.

Promising but early (phase 2) data on a second generation of anti CD40L monoclonals for #multiplesclerosis

My latest Clinical Pipeline column for Nature Medicine: second generation anti-CD40L drugs for #MultipleSclerosis. A really cool story of deciphering the biology of adverse effects.

I heard from my healthcare provider that I have an #AutoimmuneDisease

I have a lot of learning ahead of me but my #UltraRunning and #DailyYoga and #WearAMask lifestyle have me on the right track! Protecting my health fiercely has been the right approach all along!

#Health #Yoga #Run #SelfCare #MaskUp

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! 🎉🎊

I woke up Friday morning in slight agony from an RA flare so I've mostly been avoiding any typing 🫠

My thumbs are sort of working now but idk for how long. Which means you need to talk at me RIGHT NOW if you want to get it out of your system 😆

Took this photo of my hubby 2017 1 month after he’s second stroke. Due to a hole in he’s heart. He has since had open heart surgery in 2020. This is why we all need to think of others during this pandemic. #covidisntover #Strokesurvivor #autoimmunedisease

A catatonic woman awakened after 20 years. Her story may change psychiatry. https://wapo.st/3OSFNw6 One of the most beautiful stories of June so far! Wow…an autoimmune disease can cause mental illness…genius discovery and life changing for some already. I have done a lot of reading on Celiac…some research has shown the same genes are close to ones for schizophrenia… A cure could just be not eating gluten for some…now wouldn’t that be something. #autoimmunedisease #menalillness cause…

Wow, that's high!
Though slightly confounded by increased life expectancy, but still!
