You can’t be empowered about your health decisions if you rely on misinformation, pseudoscientific propaganda, and conspiracies.
I've been listening to Mind The Science by @jonathanstea.bsky.social 👏🏽👏🏽

I feel validated as a Dietitian often debunking diet myths for Arthritis / Autoimmune Diseases. Sometimes, I need a break for my own mental health.

Merry Christmas to everyone, especially to the ER staff at @lakeridgehealth.bsky.social for making my boy's Christmas Eve special. He was showered with toys and smiles.
He is feeling much better 😊

Thx somehow I missed she had an email list! Also yeah… I spent years trying functional medicine and everything else and let me second that if you have a severe, progressing autoimmune disease it will not be enough!

This guy is promising a "cure" and finding a root cause for your #sjogrens. Putting the blame on the patients 😡

Thanks @sarahschafermd.bsky.social
for sending out a blast email alerting patients.

According this person, I don't know what I'm doing with my health because I got a booster of the COVID-19 vaccine. This would be my 5th with no side effects 🙏

What are your thoughts on the #COVID19 vaccine?

It's Not Just Joint Pain panel #ACR24 highlights:

Can't believe it's been a week since participating in this incredible discussion.

Fatigue was among the symptoms given the most attention.

Syndrome no more. Sjogren's Disease 🙌

I felt deeply honored to be at #ACR24 when #Sjogrens was officially recognized as a Disease. After years of telling my doctors that my GI symptoms are related to SjD, this feels like a huge WIN.

I almost believed Dr. Baer when he showed us this slide at #ACR24

He wanted to illustrate that #sjogrens patients want treatments that can alleviate the symptom burden of the disease. Early results of some clinical trials showed biological changes, not symptoms.

1st time attending #ACR24 and my 1st time speaking. Hope you can join the "It's not just joint pain panel" tomorrow at 9AM EST

Where are my #Sjogrens and #MECFS
and #ChronicPain and #AuDHD folks from Twitter?

I've been here for a while, but I know some of y'all are fleeing because of the changes to blocking.

Reskeet so we can find our communities again?
