Your MRI report isn't a diagnosis.

Take 100 fifty-year-olds with zero back pain and scan them. Around 80% will show disc degeneration, and more than half will have a disc bulge (Brinjiki et al 2015).

Those findings are mostly normal ageing akin to grey hair.

What tends to matter more is how your spine can tolerate load and your thoughts and approach if/when it gets sore.

Both of those are trainable. Structure doesn't tell the whole picture.

I was put on the MS pathway due to the most bizarre symptoms beyond the usual ones.

I once had a member on MS meds. for years until she heard me talk. Later asked me what I thought, I said it would be beneficial to explore with your Dr.

Turned out she had Loeys-Dietz !

Melatonin is often seen as a harmless natural sleep aid. I have used it myself when residency wrecked my body clock. But a large preliminary study presented at the AHA linked use for ≥1 year in people with insomnia to a 90% higher heart-failure risk over 5 years.

@ADHDdesigner It can be chaos I like a mixture and why not

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

just got off the phone with my university friend.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

5 months later:
Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.

He told me he's not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter.

I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face.

i really don't.

@ABrokenBattery Guess the woman hadn’t heard of hypermobility so whilst pushing exercise is not always good for connective tissue it is essential for strengthening due to laxity and sometimes with pots end up in wheelchairs anyways but you have to keep strengthening muscles.

[William A. Wallace, Ph.D. @WilliamWallace]

Chronic stress is not simply “high cortisol.” Repeated activation of stress-response systems can disrupt sleep, cardiovascular regulation, immune signaling and metabolism. Long-term psychological stress is also associated with higher cardiovascular risk, potentially in part through inflammatory pathways. Responses vary widely, and much of the long-term evidence is observational.

PET and MRI imaging found elevated levels of TSPO protein in skull bone marrow of people with chronic back pain and knee osteoarthritis compared to healthy individuals, suggesting a potential new target in understanding and treating chronic pain.
