@ABtheMD Yes. And you can definitely have a “full on” migraine without ever getting a headache. It happens to me often.

I also realized that some of my stomach pains are actually migraines but stomach migraine is rarely acknowledged in adults.

Have you heard?

Turn pain into power and continue the fight.

#AftershockDoc, an original documentary from @OnyxCollective and @ABC News Studios, premieres July 19.

I died! On my last day at @essencefest , our squad and a very patient @uber driver finally tracked down the billboard in New Orleans that people kept telling me they saw me on!

(Note: The billboard is digital so the pixelation looks weird in the video but normal IRL.)

This is heartbreaking and preventable!

Inaccurate oxygen readings delayed /prevented potentially life-saving COVID therapies in Black and Hispanic patients. It’s know that pulse oximeter readings overestimate oxygen levels in people with darker skin.

Only bad IF you count Black women?!

Let me log off. Y’all allow overt racism to exist at every level of our society. No one is this dumb without effort.

Why You Should Have Zero Opinions About Black Women's Hair https://t.co/94kJs2d5HJ

You keep repeating this over and over like it’s a valid excuse.

You’re using a racist medical explanation that is one of many barriers to Black women getting the health care they need.

Because YOU DON’T know her situation or anyone’s it’s best to say nothing #medicalmisogynoir

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Please remember how outraged you are about violence right now when I share about poverty, racism in healthcare, and the prison industrial complex this week.

This being a topic at a major media outlet this morning had me in TEARS.
I’ve been in medical purgatory for YEARS. Drs have yelled at me and refused to treat me.
The report states autoimmune diseases are one of the most commonly dismissed.
This is my experience #medicalmisogynoir

[TODAY @TODAYshow]

This unfortunately common behavior, sometimes called medical gaslighting, leaves patients — especially women — feeling dismissed. https://t.co/cuTv1AP9qJ

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

"A Black woman having a baby in America is like a Black man in a traffic stop." It's that lethal. A stunning reality lifted up in the phenomenal documentary, "Aftershock," screening now at Sundance. See it if you can. Heartbreaking. Infuriating.

It started because @4WheelWorkOut tweeted something about Hand Maiden’s Tale and the good doctor found the tweet and chimes in with this:

I’m ( @_exhausted_mom) just going to put this here…

She’s deleted all of her vile tweets but you can search her name and read the replies Black women

“May be”

[Times Politics @timespolitics]

Likewise, there may be a “white skin bias” in medical training, with rashes and diseases are only ever described in textbooks and lectures in terms of their appearance on pale skin

[Times Politics @timespolitics]

“The review will look at all medical devices, and other important biases like gender bias. For example how we can ensure lifesaving technologies like MRI scanners can be made accessible to pregnant or breastfeeding women.”

[Times Politics @timespolitics]

It follows research showing that oximeters – which monitor oxygen levels in the blood and are used to assess whether Covid patients need life-saving treatment – are less accurate on people with darker skin

[Times Politics @timespolitics]

Exclusive: Thousands of ethnic minority patients who died from Covid-19 might have survived were it not for racial bias in medical equipment

Now, the US and UK plan to overhaul international medical standards and test equipment on all races https://t.co/qAULn2GHLg
