@realcc @ACRheum @AFAdvocacy @CreakyJoints @ArthritisFdn This is insane!

I’ve been sharing examples of autoimmune patients being denied meds all day due to Roe v Wade being overturned, very important for these barriers to methotrexate to be removed as it’s the first line med for #rheumatoidarthritis @ACRheum @AFAdvocacy @CreakyJoints @ArthritisFdn

@rheum_cat @kristenyoung @SuAnnYeoh1 @rheum_covid 🤩

Look @kristenyoung @rheumed, it’s @SuAnnYeoh1 !! Another @rheum_covid powerhouse 💪🏻#EULAR2022

@YaFavTrashman @AbbottElemABC @quintabrunson @thesherylralph Seems worse now with everything packaged individually Both the trash and the food waste

Can y’all help me convince @AbbottElemABC and @quintabrunson to have me on the show to do an episode around why schools should recycle and compost PLEASE 🙏🏾🙏🏾 @thesherylralph

@AngusWorthing When, if ever, does karaoke come back?

Rheumatologists are thrilled to be back @ in person scientific conference & have various covid-safety preferences. All masked in the conference room but choice of social distancing. I'm mostly "elbows" (& a few hugs w friends). #ACRX22

@kristenyoung unfortunately not banned in every state. It’s hard enough to understand copays and co-insurance…how can you explain this?

@Drbeckyg @EBRheum Was it GATE? (I remember there was a quip about hanging this frame on a gate.) ebm.bmj.com/content/11/2/35

Clever #RheumTwitter a few years back I came across a visual template for building a summary of RCT. It had a table or circle and was super cool, but I can’t find my notes on it @EBRheum was this you?

@AliciaRPla @TerrierBen @NihalM_Nice @cmukhtyar @DamanLangguth @RheumNow @BolekBerqui @jeffsparks I would agree, basically on all of the meds associated with EGPA, Kawasaki, cryoglobulinemia, Behcet’s. Also rituximab as a cause of GPA? I don’t know what happens to the reports that I’m asked to respond to, but I hope I’m not part of the problem here!

@TerrierBen @NihalM_Nice @cmukhtyar @rheumed @DamanLangguth @RheumNow @BolekBerqui @jeffsparks Hi, it is my poster. I was surprised by those findings, too. My only explanation is confounding by indication. Probably based on patient self- report? Do you have any other suggestion?

@cmukhtyar @AliciaRPla @DamanLangguth @RheumNow @BolekBerqui @jeffsparks It seems like there is some missing information here in (for example) thinking about a link between ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (aka harvoni, hep C therapy) and cryoglobulinemia

@jasonsknight @robertpdickson Cool! Looks like an Erdos number map

@sally_oh_brien @DrTimony One of my worries too. Kutztown and others have online MLIS but even with in-state tuition it's super expensive, as are other online ALA-certified programs around the country. PA leaves room for on-the-job training or taking the exam but seems very limited.

saving this for next time I'm on service, just to prove that someone outside rheum believes it

@laureningeno @whyy Congrats Lauren!

Some news (unrelated to the slap heard round the world)! I’ve joined @whyy as Managing Editor for Health & Science 🎙✨— a bit surreal for this Philadelphian. Excited to start a new chapter and grateful to be working in a newsroom alongside so many smart, talented journalists.

@YaFavTrashman 10! Maybe we should have a system like nyc’s one against idling cars—residents who get video evidence of illegal dumping by commercial vehicles get a 25% cut of the fine The heavy fines that city council imposes don’t do anything unless people are caught

Doing a poll, on a scale from 1-10, 1 being not urgent and 10 being extremely urgent. How urgent is it for Philadelphia to be at zero litter and a handle on illegal dumping? 👀👀

@rfrmd And after work hours Somehow the meetings must happen ASAP and the regular work shouldn’t be rescheduled And “committee work” is “necessary for promotion” So we seem to end up meeting 6-8pm or weekends

Reminds me of observations we’ve all made in people who have had a stroke or have post polio syndrome and develop RA. Interesting animal model of nerve ligation in inflamm arthritis but I can’t find the one from 12-13 yrs ago. This one is close though: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Looking forward to this event! @digital_rheuma @eular_org @eularHPR @EULAR_Press @APLAR_org @GlobalRheum

@PaulNWilliamz sometimes I want an MRI non-joint lower extremity, but I don't know why the order exists since the response is always "knee MRI denied"

@bikemamadelphia 2. Lena, comes in two sizes

Recommend me your: 1. Favorite fitted tees. 2. Your favorite menstrual cup

An art-filled exhibit on racial segregation and swimming is finally open at Fairmount Water Works dlvr.it/SMHGHp

Seems to build off work (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24872377/, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33063096/) on nurse-led education + comorbidity mgt in inflammatory arthritis, but let us not forget the impressive outcomes of nurse-led care in gout. thelancet.com/journals/lance… Counseling and self-management are key
