I’ve been struggling with plantar fasciitis for several months. (Ow)
Recently I started estradiol for perimenopause. Once I hit an effective dose, the plantar fasciitis disappeared overnight. I am 41. Never in my medical training had I ever learned about this.

Plenary III, Abstract 1726: Mayo research shows arthritis from cancer immunotherapy is NOT the same as rheumatoid arthritis!
Key finding: It’s driven by overactive T cells, not autoantibodies. This means different treatments may be needed. #ACR25

Plenary III, Abstract 1727: New study in 41k postmenopausal women with osteoporosis reveals treatment gaps: 52% were at very high fracture risk, yet only 6% received anabolic therapies. Over half (51.7%) of these patients got oral bisphosphonates instead.

While I am genuinely concerned for my colleagues who are doctors currently on H1B visas, I acknowledge that I can't make people care about other humans.
But American *should* care about the fact that their ability to get medical care WILL be affected by these visa restrictions.

23% of all resident medical doctors are on H1B, many working in rural and underserved hospitals because those hospitals have trouble getting doctors to move to Danville, VA or Salina, KS.
