I am going to STAB SOMETHING

(Not really, I'm just going to lie here weakly, cry, and maybe curse capitalism)

I have been sick for A MONTH, with back-to-back illnesses, and it is taking FOREVER to recover because GUESS WHAT, I'M FUCKING IMMUNE SUPPRESSED, and now HR is threatening to fire me if I don't provide adequate documentation that "yes I really have been sick"

And then HR is like "but I can't put you on FMLA for ~normal illnesses~ it has to be because of immune suppression" and I'm like "THE IMMUNE SUPPRESSION IS WHY I KEEP GETTING SICK AND CAN'T GET BETTER AT A NORMAL RATE"

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

I don't even really LIKE my job anymore, but I need to work for healthcare and also to get me out of the house so I don't go CRAZY, and just.

10 Everyday Habits That Weaken Your Immune System (and How to Fix Them)

Our immune system is a marvel of biological engineering, a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that constantly works to defend our bodies against harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It’s our personal shield, meticulously designed to keep us healthy and resilient. Yet, in our fast-paced modern lives, many of us unknowingly engage in everyday habits that subtly, but…

Complement-aRy roles for immune proteins in skin cancer: C5 triggers metastasis with α "q" of signals

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), a type of skin cancer, it’s the second most common type of skin cancer, after basal cell carcinoma and its incidence is increasing. It is estimated that cSCC accounts for nearly 25% of annual skin cancer deaths. Exposure to solar UV radiation is the predominant risk factor for this cancer. Approximately 3% to 5% of primary cSCCs metastasize, and the…

I feel like if you’re bed rotting from an autoimmune disease you should get to stop paying bills. just for a little bit. just as a treat.

Supportive care following chemotherapy employs a multifaceted approach to manage chemotherapy side effects, aiming to enhance patient comfort and treatment adherence. Strategies range from pharmacological interventions to lifestyle adjustments and complementary therapies.

To alleviate nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy, healthcare providers utilize antiemetic medications and complementary techniques like acupressure wristbands. Dietary changes, such as opting for bland foods and staying hydrated, also play a vital role in managing gastrointestinal distress.

Fatigue, another common side effect, is addressed through tailored physical activity plans and improved sleep hygiene practices, promoting overall well-being and energy levels.

Nutritional support, including dietary counseling and oral supplements, helps mitigate chemotherapy-induced changes in taste perception and appetite suppression, reducing the risk of malnutrition and weight loss.

Supportive care addresses the emotional impact of chemotherapy-induced hair loss by providing psychosocial support and practical interventions like scalp cooling or alternative hair coverings.

Peripheral neuropathy, characterized by tingling and numbness, is managed through pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions like pain medications and acupuncture to improve patients' sensory function.

Anemia and immune suppression resulting from chemotherapy are addressed through pharmacological interventions like erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and proactive infection control measures to minimize infection risks.

Supportive care extends to providing psychosocial support services, including counseling and integrative therapies like mindfulness-based stress reduction, to address the emotional challenges of cancer treatment and promote resilience.

There are many good hospitals in Mumbai that offer successful chemotherapy treatment followed by good supportive care to the patients to manage the side effects of treatment. For example, a full body health checkup at Jaslok Hospital Mumbai, which is one of Mumbai's best hospitals, following chemotherapy can help in providing the best supportive care to a patient after cancer treatment.

It's DNA

I was watching Smough's video, and he featured this sacred seal from the Erdtree peoples who were inspired by the Hornsent peoples.

The Land of the Tower (Hornsent) considered helixes as some kind of divine geometry/symbol. The double helix is notably calls to mind either the Caduceus symbol of medicine (twin snakes in a double helix - wink nudge nudge) OR...

It looks like a strand of DNA.

The Crucible wasnt just the primordial form of the Erd Tree. It was the primordial form of Everything - all living beings. To be Crucible blessed like the Hornsent is to acquire a mixture of active genes that would be have been recessive otherwise- thats why you get wings, horns, tails. (We share 90% or so of our DNA with like flies or bananas!)

Everyone is technically born from the Crucible and (as Marika proves by birthing OMEN sons) the Hornsent/Shaman are the same species!! Again recessive genes that get activated maybe?

And guess what? Splicing, grafting - that could be done to trees... or DNA... Godrick's prized practice is essentially a revised version of what the Crucible does naturally to living creatures.

The Crucible = The Gene Pool

sometimes........ it IS lupus.

but i still need to get a lymph node biopsy (basically big needle in my neck) to rule out the lymphoma because apparently lupus is a pain to diagnose. the doctor is pretty certain, though, so.

the other stuff. it'll take a bit longer because the biopsy will be outpatient, i mean they both are but a difference between a couple hours and four or six.

anyway.

All hands on DECs: lift your skin up 'cause immunity won't TLR8 further X-age-rated IFNrence

Scleroderma or systemic sclerosis (SYS) affects approximately 300,000 people in the U.S., with about one-third developing systemic disease, which can affect major organs such as the lungs, kidneys or heart. Women are four times more likely than men to be diagnosed with the disease, but until now, the underlying reason for this gender disparity had remained elusive. Two new studies led by…
