@J0hnADouglas@Adobe Damn near impossible to remove Adobe products from your computer too. It's basically a virus.
I had to download a special file remover and it still couldn't get all of it. I spent an entire day trying to remove it & couldn't get it all.
I used to love Adobe. I hate it now
@aaronmring@JillianRJaycox Amazing work, I have long been dismayed with the lack of curiosity around schizophrenia. So many signals pointing toward autoimmunity but it was seldom tested. Great job!
@liamsLCjourney I have LC. I am starting baricitinib on Monday. If you want to check in with me in six weeks I can give you my experience (regardless if it helps or doesn't). I am starting at 2mg for 15 days then moving up to 4mg if all goes well. You will have to remind me though.
@VirusesImmunity@NatRevImmunol 4. I say this as a scientist, I wish all scientists could strive to be more like you. You are actively asking questions and seeking data not peer approval. You are a star in the scientific community.
@VirusesImmunity@NatRevImmunol 3. negative or positive. However, the public often becomes far more overzealous with negative results than the data furnishes. Then science advocates push back ignoring negative possibilities. It then becomes a vicious cycle instead of science.
@VirusesImmunity@NatRevImmunol 2. permutations possible are unfathomable. To say a treatment will work one way for each individual is easy, but incorrect. This is similar to academic journals not publishing negative results. In science, many want to ignore the negative results. The data doesn't care if it's
@VirusesImmunity@NatRevImmunol Dr. Iwasaki,
1. What you have done here is incredibly brave. You are taking the bias out of science, that's highly commendable. As a scientist, I realized everything in science isn't black and white. We have 6.2 billion base pairs per diploid cell. The combinations and
@CoffeeBlackMD@dysclinic 2. The term "looseiest" is not a word. The word is "loosest". You failed to use a comma before ‘and’ when it connects two independent clauses multiple times. The use of experience should be the plural form "experiences". You missed multiple commas in the last sentence as well.
@CoffeeBlackMD@dysclinic 1. You state this while having a poor grasp of the english language. Starting a sentence with "and" is improper. Using the adjective "personal" instead of the adverb "personally" in the second sentence is wrong. Using the adverb "always" to start a sentence is improper.
@longhauling55@dysclinic I had individual complement proteins tested. I am a biologist by trade so I looked at each one I suspected. There are three complement pathways. You can test 2 pathways with AH50 or CH50 for more general tests. The Lectin pathway cannot be tested like that. You can try MBL level
@Fictionalmuse1 2. individual complement levels. MBL doesn't have a high range in practice only ranges found in academic literature. So I know but how useful is it. The test is MBL level. Generally it is checking for people with low levels not high. But high complement proteins can cause damage.
@Fictionalmuse1 1. I'm a biologist by trade so I do a lot of research into my disease. I was positive complement was involved in some manner. So I talked my GP into testing it. He is okay with random tests. There is a lot of tests they can order. A lot more than you think. We tested a bunch of
@dysclinic@Preprints_org Fantastic job. Finally research talking about advanced immunotherapies that haven't been widely tried yet. This is what we need
@hoolie_r Personally, I was physically attacked multiple times for wearing a mask. I am 6'3" and 210lbs and this still happened. I also had a lot of emotional attack as well for wearing one. I mostly don't go out anymore but I don't wear a mask anymore when I do. It sucks
@BCarfree@polybioRF Anyone who has had LC previously and recovered shouldn't apply. They are looking for healthy controls. The controls allow researchers to see the differences in healthy tissue vs. those with LC or those predisposed to it.
@MVGutierrezMD Post it on the reddit group called "covidlonghaulers". It's a group of 70k people with LC and it's quite active.
There are many medical professionals there with LC.
