In der #Praxis habe ich den Satz „Das kann nicht sein!“ gestrichen. Erkrankungen wie #MECFS, #hEDS, #HIT, #MCAS, #MCS, #FQAD, #PoTS und #SFN haben mich rasch eines besseren belehrt!

#dislocation #heds #eds

fascinated by how 'dislocate' seems to be a word used almost exclusively to refer to the misalignment of bodies, or parts of the body, from their proper place. It's distinctly anatomical. you don't say 'i dislocated my keys' for instance, even though that's technically a correct and coherent sentence.

on the other hand, it would be really funny to say 'i misplaced my shoulder' to announce a devastating injury

it went that way [finger pointing emoji]

Since it's May (almost missed it!), it's once again time for my annual thread on chronic medical conditions from my perspective as an informed patient & also professional navigator of complexity as a scientist-communicator, albeit one outside the biomedical space. [Thread!] #hEDS

It turns out there is evidence that faulty connective tissues (& associated dysfunction in extracellular matrix) can actually CAUSE immune system dysfunction, but that the reverse is also true! There are more than a few innovative biomed research groups working on this right now.

Did you know that ~70% of first-year medical students use Anki flashcards to study for their medical exams? We created an Anki flashcard deck for infection-associated chronic illnesses, including #MECFS, #LongCOVID, #POTS, #MCAS, #hEDS, & more. Great convo & links! - www.reddit.com/r/medicalsch...
