They should also mask because covid increases their own risk of automimmune conditions too (among other things).

This idea that healthy people are safe from covid is nonsense. Take a longterm view, and stop risking your futures.

I still mask because… I want to protect my mom, who has lupus, in addition to protecting other immunocompromised people like her

I've been pricing an electric wheelchair

Walking around is getting increasingly more difficult. The pain I have in my back is unbearable, and its radiating into my hips. My legs feel like cinderblocks have been tied to them. When I look down, I see the color changes happening as the blood pools in my feet.

I won't lie. I'm scared.

I'm losing quality of life with every single moment I am stuck here. I can't get out in the sun much because of what it causes my head to feel like, and I've been getting hives when sitting outside recently. There have been times where I have had to have someone lead me while walking because the sun was so bright I was blinded.

I finished the b12 injections and 2 days later my face went into puperty-aged-acne mode, so not only do I have terrible thoughts about everything, but I look terrible too. And no amount of pimple cream or acne wash fixes a vitamin breakout. Just gotta live through it.

About the tumor... see, a spinal hemangioma generally isn't an issue. UNLESS the reason for it being found is that the patient is experiencing symptoms. Which....had I not been experiencing symptoms, no one would have checked my thoracic spine. Wouldn't that just make sense that the damn thing is causing me issues?

Since 4 specialists want to ignore me, and the pain is bad enough now its causing my life to be pointless, I've been reading and researching and thumbing medical journals. And you know what?

I'm fucking terrified.

All these doctors want to do is ask me if I have anxiety and then brush off the real problems. I am in severe pain every single day and all I get to do is sit here and try to convince myself that the problems aren't actually a problem because some idiot doctors won't listen.

If they don't listen....i don't even want to think of what happens when they don't listen.

I'm so fucking scared.

for those of you in countries where the general public is at risk of contracting the coronavirus, i, as someone who is immuno compromised, aka at the most at risk of contracting the virus, id like for everyone to know that while wearing the typical surgical/medical mask can help prevent contracting it, it rlly doesnt. surgical face masks are only used to prevent bodily fluids from entering medical professionals’ bodies during medical procedues and viruses contracted from close contact but not for preventing small particals, such as airborne viruses like the coronavirus, from entering a person’s body. to prevent yourself from contracting airborne viruses such as the coronavirus that may be hazardous to your body, please wear respirators (N95 or other types approved by ur government) (respirators seen at ur local car repair shop, etc) that are designed to be able to vent out particles such as these easily and not only that, PLEASE wash your hands regularly.

I gotta stop googling automimmune conditions when im having a bad day cause i always end up like this after:

[hasufin]

My dermatologist said it was automimmune.

From what I can find, it’s a particular etiology which can arise from a variety of factors. We don’t really know if there’s a single root cause, though. Like, it’s entirely possible everyone in my family is susceptible to it and I just so happen to be the only one to be exposed to the thing which made it happen; or it could be random chance and it’s just me.

But that might also explain why some people get good results from topical steroids (which can help suppress allergic and immune responses) and other people don’t.

So it’s more complicated than “We just don’t know”, but that seems accurate.

16 Tips to Self Improvement with Autoimmune Disorders

See a professional about your symptoms. I saw an immunologist/allergist who was finally able to help pin-point my almost decade long search for answers to my reactions to food.  Don’t delay. Call today.

2 Read all you can about your autoimmune disorder and comorbidities

3.Read Blogs about your autoimmune disorder.

4.  Wake Up Early. Not so you can have enough time to prepare a low automimmune breakfast, so you can put your day in order without being rushed. Waking up early (say, 5-6am) has been acknowledged by many (Anthony Robbins, Robin Sharma, among other self-help gurus) to improve your productivity and your quality of life.

5. Excercise. Work out 3x a week for at least 30 minutes. Whether that means going on the treadmill in your bedroom that is currently holding clothes or going out for a jog or signing up for a yoga class, get yourself moving! It is important to be in physical health as much as mental and allergic health.

6. Stay focused with lists. I love my lists. I feel accomplished when I have one and can check things off as I go. This is especially important to use in the  grocery store when shopping. You want to make sure you don’t buy histamine laden food and end up with a reaction.

7. Cut back on social media. This is harder than it sounds, but when you have your life in your phone or other electronic device, you miss out on so much going on around you. Limit yourself to a time first thing in the morning and a few hours before bed. Unless you have a food blog, no one is going to miss your update about what you ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :)

8. Set Big Goals.  Stretch beyond your normal capacity and go for it! Maybe just going on the low nickel diet is your big goal. That’s great! Find one that, for you, is a challenge, and rise to the occasion. You will feel great when you get it!

9. Meditate.  Take 20-30 minutes a day to center yourself and be calm. Use an app for guided meditation if you must. It will help keep you on track, mindful and clearly focused on what is important.

10. Avoid negative people.  This means in person and online. If someone is regularly a Negative Nellie in your life, remove them as much as possible. It is isn’t possible to remove them completely from your life, learn how to put down boundaries to alleviate the negativity from your life. Only plants grow among dung.

11. Find people who inspire you.  Maybe that is a public speaker, a friend, a classmate. Find people who make you want to be a better person and talk with them. Find out their secrets to personal success. Listen to their stories and take what you can and incorporate it into your life.

12. Let go of the past. Let go of wanting what is no longer possible. That may mean a relationship, a job or even a piece of chocolate cake. Let it go. There are other flavors out there in the world. Explore other cakes such as pink champagne or vanilla with fresh strawberry icing. Letting go of what was makes room for new experiences.

13. Show kindness to those around you.  Remember the “Golden Rule:”  Practice what you preach? Think before you speak. If the words are not loving, helpful, gentle and only about you hold your tongue. Words can cut deeper than a sword. Only speak words of love, helpfulness when asked, gentleness and listen with the intent to understand.

14.  Take a break. Give yourself a break. Talk to yourself with loving words. What we tell ourselves becomes our truth. What we tell our children becomes their’s. Speak only to yourself in words of love. If you hear negative thoughts coming in, stop yourself and remind yourself to give yourself a break. No one is perfect.

15. Quit a bad habit.  Do you comfort eat? Slouch? Bite your nails?  Smoke? Run late for everything? Work on stopping that habit. You can do it!

16. Invest time into personal growth.  Learning a new way of being is difficult. Learning a new lifestyle is challenging. Invest time in yourself to allow for growth. Educate yourself on your autoimmune disorder. Read books about people who have risen through adversity. We are all responsible for our own self-growth - not our mom, our dad, our partner, our children—just us. Commit to yourself to begin a new life full of personal growth. Do one or two small changes a day, in time, those changes will have a snowball effect and one day soon become the reality of the change you wished for.

Every moment, of every day, we are given a choice to repeat the past or start anew.

Which do you chose?

So a friend introduced me to your blog and I love it so much. You inspire me to be healthier and more active. I struggle with a couple different automimmune disorders(I have one that effects my connective tissue so I often dislocate joints if I'm not obscenely careful, and others that cause an insane amount of chronic pain) and was wondering if you had any advice for someone that struggles with things like that. I love weight lifting & running but dang my joints hate it. Thank you so much <3

something that a lot of people dont think about when working out is stretching and acclimation sets!! if you dont do it youre more prone injuries.. some warm ups i like to do: -rotator cuff exercises- internal/external cable rotations-front/side/rear delt raises (very lightweight)-foam rollingand before big lifts an acclimation set (for example) bench would be 1 set of just the bar for 10 reps and another set for 65lbs for another 10

Automimmune disease ( s ) come with many faces / many masks. Two people with the same chronic illness will have varying levels of symptoms and varying responses to therapy. A N D at the end of the day. Its okay. To say out loud for the universe to hear Doctors don’t know everything.

Today Costochondritis of the sternum.

Hey! March is Automimmune Disease Awareness Month! A year ago this month I asked my doctor if we could test my thyroid- a lot of my symptoms seemed like they could be linked to thyroid problems and it hadn’t been tested before so I felt like it couldn’t hurt. Two days later I got a call that my medication was waiting for me at the pharmacy and I needed to start taking it immediately. Turns out I have hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease. For the longest time I though everything I was experiencing was normal- I was exhausted all the time because my job was super physical and I was working on two or three shows at once, my hair was falling out from stress, I was gaining weight because of bad eating (and more stress), I couldn’t remember lines and choreography because I was tired (and even more stress). The past year has been a cycle of bloodwork, medication adjustments, and lifestyle changes, but things are finally starting to level out. I got tested because of a YouTube video (thank you, @kathryn_morgan) and if you think that something may be wrong, don’t be afraid to ask your doctor! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6mgBznS7n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qsm35gfr65br

Dr. Alessio Fasano, M.D.—a Harvard researcher and one of the leading experts in the world on gluten and automimmunity—has said that ONE meal with gluten can trigger an autoimmune response in the body for up to 90 days. Even for those without Celiac! So while I personally love bread, having RA and being prone to inflammation, I have to be a bit more careful than most. @knowfoods is gluten, grain, wheat, dairy, peanut and soy free breads and treats. They are giving away at least 10 starter kits valued at $50 each (which also comes with a t-shirt)—when you get my book on Amazon using the link in my bio this week. Gluten-free isn’t just a fad or hype; there are real gut and autoimmune implications when we consume it. That’s why I’m grateful for companies like @knowfoods who produce HEALTHY gf items. Whether you join our contest or not, I encourage you to keep it healthy and gluten free! Love, Jesse

Tip on studying

Tips: flash cards (I know old school.) But how do I use them instead of a term on the front and definition at the back. I use it for the stuff that needs extra attention Examples are formulas, numbers, scientific terms. For me its chemical determination of test and normal values, reference range. Then make a hole and put a ring thingy in it. You can read it while heading to school walking, on the bus, train or car. It is a great help for those who are having a hard time memorizing stuff(GUILTY). Not to mention when I just need a final review I usually recite the topics I have already read when I open a certain card. Example. Carbohydrates. Are main source of energy. Diseases. Diabetes Mellitus type 1 juvenile young form automimmune, thin . Type 2 adult due to lifestyle, overweight, >126 FBS. CARD HEXOKINASE METHOD reference method etc etc. In addition to that make them somewhere near the size of your phone I know they can be distracting I used to waste my time listening to music when heading to class and it feels kind a empty when I don't have my phone on my hand but with the cards I get studying done just bit by bit and being less dependent on my phone to entertain me.

First GWAS analysis of ‘type 1.5 diabetes’ reveals links between immune and metabolic disease

Scientists who performed the largest-ever genetic study of a puzzling type of adult-onset diabetes have uncovered new connections to the two major types of diabetes, offering intriguing insights into more accurate diagnosis and better treatment. Latent automimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) is a relatively common disorder that shares features of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
