Do you have those trendy, aesthetic glasses w/bamboo lids? The lids can grow mold after just a few hours of use. So can cutting boards. My tips to avoid and clean these items. #asthma #mold

I’ve worked as an interpreter at a living museum and live in a historic area - this looks interesting!

The Louis & Clark Redux

Two history professors facing academic probation accidentally received a grant to reenact the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The event attracts national media coverage, leaving the university and the funders scrambling to transform the knuckleheads into American heroes.

@life_asthma This is the best thing I've ever seen!

Just a few more weeks of #ragweed allergy season! I'll be so glad when the weather is cooler & pollen is gone. Until then, here are my tips for managing this #asthma / #allergy trigger. Me, for @RespirayGlobal

My #migraine attacks lasted 3 -5 days on average for decades. Since adding a nasal spray for acute symptoms, now they only last 2 - 4 hrs or so. A huge improvement in my quality of life. Wish I started a non-oral med sooner. #MigraineRelief #MigraineSymptoms

In this video, members of our #migraine community share how non-oral medications are essential tools in their migraine treatment toolbox. 2/2

Got migraine? Do YOU HAVE a nasal spray or injection in your toolbox?

@boscamilis Theater shows may be an issue. I did wear it in the movie theater the other night and the man next to me didn’t even look or complain. It’s fine for public transportation too!

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

Thank you, Respiray for the opportunity to share my asthma and allergy journey. The Wear A+ device is one of the most effective tools in my treatment toolbox! #Asthma #Allergies

Only patients who are deemed "compliant" deserve dialysis? My brother died from complications of not receiving dialysis after he was "fired" from EVERY @DaVita in the country. Is this equitable patient treatment? @MotherJones https://t.co/CIwaN1FUOF

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

@ASNKidney - “In my mind, being on #dialysis is a privilege,” says Michael Allon, a nephrologist at the University of Alabama, Birmingham is quoted in the below article. Is that your organizations stance? That life-saving healthcare is a privilege & not a right? 1/

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

@nkf - #dialysis centers like @DaVita often "fire" patients & refuse life-sustaining care. This practice has to stop - no #kidney patient should be banned from EVERY dialysis clinic in the country. This is the story of my brother's preventable death: https://t.co/CIwaN1GsEd

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

@DaVita @DaVitaDoc why do you continue the practice of banning #dialysis patients from receiving life-sustaining care? You "fired" my brother from EVERY clinic in the country during the pandemic, a major factor in his death. https://t.co/CIwaN1GsEd

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

Only 5 hours left for this amazing sale! I love my Respiray Wear A+ personal air filter. It's lightweight - I wear it when I'm cooking to keep from breathing in the gas fumes & odors from the stove. #asthma #allergies https://t.co/c04qU4x35M

Step therapy: when health plans force you to try their recommended meds before covering Dr-prescribed meds to lower costs.
#Migraine patients shouldn't have to wait for insurance to cover meds, leading to more severe/frequent attacks. #MigraineWontWait #StopInsuranceDelays 1/2

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

@nonprofitssay Accurate. And when you do fill out that expense reimbursement form, feel free to click that box that says "Use my reimbursement as a donation to the org." PS - remember, we only reimburse $50/night hotel, $60 in major cities.

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

One of the best ways you can advocate for yourself is to understand the lingo insurance uses to delay, deny, or switch Dr. prescribed treatments. This language is universal for ALL chronic conditions. #StopInsuranceDelays #MigraineWontWait #Asthma

[Migraine Meanderings @migrainemeander]

Don't be confused by insurance company terms like non-medical switching, prior-authorization, & step therapy. Learn how these terms are used to delay/deny Dr. prescribed treatments. Have you been denied coverage? https://t.co/Cn9vIgEaWS #StopInsuranceDelays #MigraineWontWait

[Lorene Alba @asthmachef]

@migrainemeander @headachepolicy @MigraineSummit @miles4migraine @ParentWmigraine @achysmileblog Not OK! Insurance companies should not use these utilization management practices to delay or deny medical treatment for people who are suffering with #migraine & #ChronicIllness #MigraineWontWait #StopInsuranceDelays
