@dysclinic @useless_priest 👏👏👏

📢 A large study from Sweden showed that people with migraine have a nearly two-fold higher rate of depression or anxiety than those without #migraine. 💊 Despite this, we don't treat patients with migraine with psychotherapy or exercise - we treat them with over 40 FDA-approved medications and devices targeting the head pain. 💉Migraine, one of the most common brain diseases in the world, has no biomarkers, but many excellent therapies available to patients. 🧠 #Dysautonomia, #LongCOVID and #MECFS should follow the same therapeutic path that migraine did. link.springer.com/article/10.118…

@drclairetaylor Are you able to give an update on follow up appointments for your clinic? Nobody seems to know what’s happening? I hope you are all right.

So positivity and hospitalisations are far higher for COVID than flu, but all we hear about is get your flu jab. Why has COVID booster eligibility been reduced so drastically and why aren’t the authorities giving the public advice on how to avoid infection?

Disabled travellers avoid @TUIUK like the plague. I was turned away from my flight, had to shell out hundreds of pounds for new ones 100 miles away, lost 2 nights sleep and a day of my holiday. They are willing to refund me €50 for my taxi to the resort. #Disability #disgusted

📢 More evidence that #LongCovid and #Dysautonomia are associated with #neuroinflammation of the brainstem comes from this new study from Germany and UK. 👇 medrxiv.org/content/10.110… ‼️ The new study reaffirms my prior assertion that #POTS and #Dysautonomia in general localize to the dorsolateral inferior medulla. 🧠 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39857750/

I give up. Gastro trainees being taught at a *regional* meeting that albumin is a marker of nutrition. Archaic. Wrong. Utter, utter cobblers. #NonEBMtraining
