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.

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.

The image depicts a round brain character (from the Awkward Yeti comics), anthropomorphized with arms, legs, and glasses, engaged in a search query. The brain grasps a smartphone, positioned centrally. The dialogue includes a rectangular search box with the text "What is wrong with people?", complemented by a blue submit button to the right. The background maintains a uniform light blue hue, creating a minimalist aesthetic. The playful illustration invites reflection with a humorous tone.

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? A 🧵

It let’s not mention the elephant in the room responsible for the massive rise in gastroparesis. Covid triggering POTS. The ANS controls gastric emptying. But that can’t be important.

It most certainly does. Even when the parents have a team of specialists supporting the diagnosis of LC as the cause of illness, the “experts” in the large teaching hospitals ignore us. Instead of listening and learning from us they allow children to rot in hospital for years. ( no joke)

I can only dream. My POTs stand up and all their inteabdominal organs fall into their pelvis. But no one will believe this is causing issues.

I am so sick or reading, in a scientific article on #DGBI that treatment is made more difficult by pts diagnosing themselves with the latest social media and TikTok diagnoses of #POTS, #MCAS,#hEDS, #MALS. These are real diagnoses with validated criteria. Just bc most “specialists” who manage DGBI

@spacedocmom chronic illness #chronicillness #chronicallyill
generally speaking, doctors only see health-privileged patients when they're feeling their worst and chronically ill patients when they're feeling their est. Chronically Ill folks often can't even make it to see a doctor when at their worst. More doctors need to understand this <3 <3

In case those managing #IBS pts or #DGBI are interested, the symptoms are caused by the undiagnosed POTS/dysautonomia and MCAS/mC degranulation. POTS and MCAS are not co morbidities of IBS they are the cause.

Thankyou. A fantastic article. #mastcells are responsible for the #visceralhypersensitivity we see in #IBS and #IBD. Antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers should be part of every gastro’s most used meds. Why amitryltiline works, it is an antihistamine.
