@Sa3nz5 @alfkkifine When men get raped every 68 seconds then you can speak. Until then you csn shut your mouth.

@alfkkifine Women: I want to be equal to men Men: okay Women: but i want special protection because i’m a woman and not a man except for when i want to be treated equally but not when it inconvenience’s me

Women: I want to go for a run. Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped. Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage. Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped. Women: I want to live alone. Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too. Women: What about going to the park? Society: Dangerous. Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then. Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times. Women: I was raped. Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.

@Golffoxtrotbra1 @JoshWalkos Says unknown dude on the internet 🤷‍♀️

@JoshWalkos This guy has zero qualifications in medicine, pharmacy, biochiemstry, pharmaceutical technology or any other area of specialty related to prescription drugs!

Anders Sørensen, a Danish clinical psychologist and researcher known for his work on psychiatric drug withdrawal and hyperbolic tapering, spoke Monday at the MAHA Institute summit about psychiatric drug dependency and withdrawal. Listen closely to what he says.

@c3vvno Sounds like MCAS. Effexor may be triggering mast cell degranulation and histamine response. Consider histamine control such as h1 and h2 blockers, ketotifen and/or chromolyn sodium

Ever since Effexor and LC I’ve had severe paradoxical reactions to basically all food, supplements and even shampoos and household products holding the dose does nothing and it’s continued to be 24:7 life threatening, should I just switch it at this point or just get off. Tapering will not help this it’s what triggered it.

@Aguirre1Gustavo We did do some basic tests and found mycoplasma but there was never any follow up. What’s the treatment?

Case Report of Long COVID: A female patient from the UK diagnosed with Long COVID presents with various persistent symptoms and symptom-based diagnoses. Five active pathogens were identified in her Peripheral Blood Smear, which are the root cause of her persistent symptoms: Babesia, Borrelia, Bartonella (BBB), Mycoplasma, and Microsporidia. These are the most frequently identified infections in Long COVID: researchgate.net/publication/40… Discussion and comments: In blood smears, viruses cannot be seen using optical microscopes because they are very small. Therefore, in addition to BBBs and other microorganisms, viral persistence of SARS-CoV-2 may coexist. However, active BBB infections tend to be the predominant infections, that is, the infections causing persistent symptoms. It would follow, then, that if BBB infection is identified in a patient with Long COVID, these infections were reactivated or triggered by the lymphopenia produced by SARS-CoV-2 and became the dominant infections, leaving the SARS-CoV-2 infection as a secondary infection or even a latent or inactive infection. Regarding Microsporidia, this is the most frequently identified opportunistic fungal infection in the blood smears of patients with Long COVID. The next most frequent fungi are Malassezia and Candida. You can find more details in the following publication: researchgate.net/publication/39…

@Aguirre1Gustavo Do you see patients? Wish we could find a doctor willing to investigate all these things …

@Kim05309679 I have two tkt for May 28 in Vegas but am not able to go. My daughter is very sick and is not going to get better anytime soon. can’t sell the tickets - can only transfer them. Willing to transfer them but want to be sure they go to someone who won’t sell them for profit.

I hate doing this. I applied for the raffle on ticketmaster, but I've decided to cancel it. I can't afford it right now. Living paycheck to paycheck, one salary. A teen and an adult child at home. I have to take care of my health and to do that my meds cost over 300$/month+++

@MrsButters I was around 10. Family friends would come for dinner. Under the guise of “just saying hello” one of them would always pull me into his lap and kiss me, sometimes on the mouth. Pat on the butt…”you’re growing up so fast”… Leering eyes constantly. So gross.

Women. How old were you when a man first made an inappropriate advance on you? I'll put mine in the comments. Men. This isn't for you, just sit tight, no need to comment.

@md_eeznuts Actually, we get our medical advice and diagnoses from an actual neurologist, GI specialist and endocrinologist. Thankfully not from ‘Nurse Monica’ who clearly doesn’t give a shit about patients. People like you are despicable.

@jindo2018 Durr, I get all my medical advice from TikTok, I’m allergic to every medication they ever gave me including medications that exist in my body already, hurr durrr

People are suffering and looking for help but Nurse Monica here thinks it’s fun to ridicule them. Disgusting behavior.

@BShapiroMD @doubletamponne @Soozinn @ScotCanadaLaura @awgaffney Your opinion or disagreement is irrelevant as it is directly in opposition of actual medical research. Perhaps look into that before spouting your nonsense.

@doubletamponne @Soozinn @ScotCanadaLaura @awgaffney I disagree with this.

Over-diagnosis / misdiagnosis / self-diagnosis of EDS, MCAS, POTS, & Lyme is a real problem, and it would appear that there is little appetite by medical professionals to discuss this issue publicly.

@md_eeznuts @awgaffney 21 yo daughter has EDS/POTS/MCAS. Diagnosed by neurologist and GI Specialist. Bed-bound for nearly 3 yrs. You think she wants to be this sick? You think it’s fun to see your future crumble? Her life is miserable and people like you make it a million times worse. Don’t be a nurse

@awgaffney It’s really not an issue. I see some 23 year old girl who has the TikTok triad of EDS, MCAS and POTS plus 27 allergies and I’m immediately alerted that I’m dealing with a crazy person. She’s be crazy with or without the fake self diagnoses and they don’t generally do any harm

@socrdoc Thank you. Wonderful to see caring physicians like you who advocate for neurodiverse patients. Too often we are dismissed, ridiculed and gaslit.

I respectfully disagree. As a general pediatrician caring for a large neurodiverse population (ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, CAPD, concussion, anxiety), I’m seeing a very different reality over the last 5 years. 🧵1/14

@SteveDu56581507 @daveclarkemd The original poster seems to be the expert guesser and maker of assumptions - if he can’t determine a cause “it must be anxiety/trauma etc”. There is no scientific evidence to back up his claim - just a “take my word for it”

@jindo2018 @daveclarkemd The word “guessing” in your reply is doing a lot of work…

I spent 25 years as a gastroenterologist. I treated over 7,000 patients whose symptoms had no explanation on any test. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Bloating. Pelvic pain. Bowel malfunction. Fatigue. Later on I diagnosed mystery symptoms from head to foot. Every test is normal. Here’s what I learned.

@SteveDu56581507 @daveclarkemd The whole post was from a G.I. specialist claiming to have explored all options. I’m guessing he only focused on the G.I. part of the equation, which is often the problem in healthcare.

@jindo2018 @daveclarkemd The whole post was about a diagnosis by exclusion after exhaustive testing and examination. If you ever practiced medicine, you would understand

@SteveDu56581507 @daveclarkemd There are undoubtedly some psychosomatic symptoms, eg anxiety can cause nausea etc. But there is a trend where doctors write off serious symptoms as psychosomatic without acknowledging that they actually just don’t know or haven’t looked hard enough for a physical cause.

@jindo2018 @daveclarkemd No. Somatopsychic illness is real

@daveclarkemd This type of thinking causes people’s real medical issues to go unexplored and untreated. ‘No explanation’ means you just don’t know. It doesn’t mean the answer is psychological. Dangerous rhetoric.

@daveclarkemd saying “it’s psychological” when you can’t (or won’t) figure out what the underlying cause is, is abhorrent. So many years of “it’s anxiety/stress” when really it was MALS. Doctors need to do better. Especially older doctors who think they know everything

After 7,000 patients and 25 years, I’m more certain than ever: the most underdiagnosed cause of chronic symptoms is stress, trauma, and emotional burdens that no one has asked about. It’s time to start asking. Learn more at symptomatic.me. Sources: Clinical experience of Dr. David Clarke. Bussières et al.

@GeneticLifehack Tried LDN. Nothing but major side effects even at the smallest dose. Had to give up after two weeks. The migraines it caused were unbearable.

There's a tiny ion channel in your body that's involved in migraines, chronic fatigue, long Covid, and pain sensitivity — and most people have never heard of it. Meet TRPM3. 🧬 TRPM3 is a calcium ion channel that sits on your nerve cells and acts like a heat alarm. When it detects high heat — or certain neurohormones — it opens up and lets calcium flood in, which signals pain in sensory neurons. But TRPM3 doesn't just handle heat. It's also involved in: - Migraine signaling - Insulin release from the pancreas - Blood vessel constriction - Immune cell function - Glutamate balance in the brain One channel. A lot of effects. The migraine connection is fascinating — especially for women. Progesterone suppresses TRPM3. When it drops during your cycle, TRPM3 becomes more active and triggers CGRP release in the trigeminal nerve. CGRP is a key driver of migraines. This is the biological chain. Here's where it gets really interesting: #MECFS Studies show that ME/CFS patients have reduced TRPM3 function on natural killer (NK) cells. NK cells need calcium influx through TRPM3 to release the granules that kill virus-infected cells. Less TRPM3 = blunted immune response. TRPM3 also affects blood pressure response and glutamate/GABA homeostasis. The same TRPM3 dysfunction is now showing up in #longCovid patients too. Fatigue, brain fog, post-exertional malaise, pain — symptoms that overlap heavily with ME/CFS. Here's the hopeful part: a 2025 study showed that low-dose naltrexone (LDN) can restore TRPM3 function in long Covid and ME/CFS patient cells — within 24 hours. LDN blocks the mu-opioid receptor, which normally suppresses TRPM3. Remove the block, restore the function. Your genetics also matter here. Multiple variants in the TRPM3 gene are associated with increased ME/CFS risk. Others affect migraine susceptibility and pain sensitivity. Check out the full article for all the details, look at your TRPM3 variants, and see the solutions (natural and medications) that interact with TRPM3.

@DocKeiser What is the right’ type of exercise to try to fix the dysautonomia?

Let's redefine the word #exercise- because it matters. If standing up already feels like a workout, adding more exercise isn’t always the solution. #POTS isn’t just a fitness problem—it’s a regulation problem. Fix the system first. Then build capacity. #dysautonomia
