People with long COVID and ME/CFS face *so much* disbelief. But the reality and severity of their experiences is so obvious if you actually talk to them, supported by the scientific literature, and deserving of empathy and support. 10/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Open Access: N Nanavaty and team with @vani_a_mathur find that social factors matter for pain: — Ostracism is associated w/ #CentralSensitization, #Depression, suicidality, & #Pain Free Article: jpain.org/article/S1526-…

We collected numerous measures of disease-based and identity (gender, race)-based stigma and discrimination + QST + clinical pain measures. Effect sizes and suggestions are provided for future directions.

⭐️Check out our new paper⭐️ Drawing on insights from people with lived experiences of BMS (to whom this will come as no surprise) and social psych theory, we share pilot data that BMS-stigma is linked to pain severity. Social context matters. @daspainbrain @tamupsycbrain

Awesome feeling when one of my favorite pain science communicators beats me to tweeting this importat paper😊

🚨When it comes to pain, social factors MATTER 🔥🔥 Ostracism is associated with depression, suicidality, & PAIN👇🏼👇🏼 People who are ostracized experience ⬆️ pain sensitivity + may be more prone to developing chronic pain 👎🏼 #MedTwitter #MedEd jpain.org/article/S1526-…

@DrZoffness @TheJournal_Pain Thank you for all you do to accelerate translation and education @DrZoffness We can and must do better. All of this work is motivated by people who have generously shared their lived experiences with us. Yes - social factors matter (a lot)!
