#IDMastodon #Immunology We live in a toxic environment. Our bodies, especially our 🫁 , are constantly exposed to a wide array of incursions from the environment. These allergens, pollutants & infectious agents, to which we respond idiosyncratically, can regulate a person's balance b/w immune homeostasis & dysregulation. #bronchiectasis is an underdiagnosed , heterogeneous disorder. Inflammation is a key driver of bronchiectasis and represents a therapeutic target for current & new treatments.

Hey @OptumRx@twitter.com and @UHC@twitter.com Why are you requiring a Peer to Peer for a #cvid #immunedeficiency #bronchiectasis pt who had been on Standard of Care tx for YEARS? In the meantime, I am home playing phone tag with your awful system while febrile. This BS drives #physicianburnout

First #bronchiectasis exacerbation for ages. First time I've had to resort to postural drainage on top of huffing and other breathing techniques. Mask wearing has kept my lungs clear, but family time over Xmas couldn't be fixed with a HEPA filter running. Considering paying for percussive massage as I find it too grim to do with a partner. #Alpha1AntiTryptsinDeficiency

Hypertonic Nebs are forever my real best friend

*well this week anyway

I made to GP this morning. Chest still clear though I’m coughing up stuff & clearly struggling to speak without coughing/breathlessness. GP was nice though.
Nothing else they can do. I didn’t expect anything tbf but I’d rather be checked on than not.
#wife is wiped out from yesterday & can barely move. 😖.
We’re a broken household 😞. It just sucks.

I really want to go back to being healthy & being able to DO things. Being bored doesn’t help but I’m in no state to go out & engage my brain as my brain fog is ridiculous. 😶‍🌫️

My current goals are very small. Breathe easily.
Get some washing done.
Cook a healthy meal.
Go out for a walk.

I’m currently back in bed.

It’s the afternoon of the last day but we have a completely packed house for the bronchiectasis symposium at #btswinter2022

#Introduction Hoping to communicate high quality information about lung health and respiratory medicine.

#Asthma
#Lung
#ILD
#IPF
#RespIsBest
#Bronchiectasis

Personal note:
I'm a #spoonie. In other words, I have chronic health issues. Specifically the most medically major issue I have is #CrohnsDisease. My meds for it have me #immunocompromised.

I also have #ADHD, #GAD, #MDD, #KLS, #asthma and #bronchiectasis.

So you will see medical stuff coming from my account. (toots and boosts) Tho I'll try, not all will have content warnings. (see ADHD)

If you're medically squeamish, keep this in mind.
