This is why women supporting abortion bans never really thought out their stance properly before voting.
If I was an O and G male or female no way in hell would I continue to work in a state where my or my wife’s life would be at risk in the event of a pregnancy. I would leave.
Oops they are!

I like to play the “if I lived in the 1500’s would I still be alive game” personally I would have died at least 3 times by now.

Tip of the iceberg. Particularly given our “what is causing all this disability” approach to an aka IS and no mention of why AI allergic and other diseases are on the rise. The morbidity of this pandemic dwarfs the mortality. Alive but not really living.
The person-years of life lost from the pandemic (here for Europe) with premature mortality reflects an underestimate of the toll of Covid @plos.org

As the public gets sicker, states begin to claw back benefits. From Germany to the UK to France, we see record illness and long-term sick leave numbers, accompanied by backlash & blame from the very governments harming and disabling them:

Across France, Germany and the UK the story is the same: people are sicker, and governments are blaming the sick

When the Rome foundation realise that in DGBI the GBA is disordered they will then see the reason why these other disorders are so comorbid. DGBI & all the other comdictions listed are disorders of the gut brain axis! The more severe the pt the more diseases. Not rocket science.

Yes ADHD is real and life

People have a lot of opinions about ADHD but one actual fact about it is that undiagnosed (and untreated) ADHD makes people die years earlier than their closest peers. Hard to fake that.
There are risks to not recognizing ADHD! ADHD is more than hyperactivity & distraction - studies show a shortened lifespan and significant life struggles when it isn't properly managed. Many signs are subtle, often missed, or dismissed as personality quirks. Could you be overlooking important clues?

We dont talk about this enough. Not only are fertility rates since the pandemic began falling dramatically, there is the added burden of LC falling on women who may never be well enough to conceive.

Vascular Compression Syndromes (VCS) in POTS patients
In my experience, VCS are present in ALL patients with POTS, and are usually multiple.
For the purposes of this thread this also applies to hEDS and trifecta patients as well.
So what is a VCS?

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders do not discriminate. They are found in all races and ethnicities around the world.
And are not that rare, just rarely diagnosed.
