Imanuel Lerman retweetet

🚨 Hot off the press: my new paper that moves this field forward 🚀 and changes the narrative on what #POTS, #MECFS and #LongCOVID are... Neuroimmune Disorders!
🧠 The brain and the autonomic nervous system are involved in the immune system regulation.
🧠 There is evidence of autoimmunity, immune dysregulation, cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and other mechanisms in all three disorders.
🧠 #Neuroimmunology is a field that should embrace these disorders: #MultipleSclerosis, the staple of neuroimmunology, used to be called hysterical paralysis before CT and MRI were invented. We're at the same crossroads with these disorders.
❌ These disorders are not "mysterious", "anxiety", "deconditioning," "functional neurologic" etc. etc.
‼️ Classifying these disorders as neuroimmune and including them as part of neuroimmunology training is critical.
🛌 #PatientCare and lives of millions of people living with these disabling conditions are at stake!
Thanks to my esteemed colleagues and co-authors, Dr. @TaylorDoherty8, immunologist from UC San Diego and Dr. Lawrence Steinman, neuroimmunologist from @StanfordMed, for their support!
