What drug name do you take pleasure in pronouncing after a patient butchers the shit out of it?

Don’t lie and say Levetiracetam, even Jesus calls it Keppra.

@LadyDoctorSays I said fuck it, just got a gel polish set for Christmas.

@HMorganPedsPCPA They are not considering Tysabri as immunosuppressive at my clinic ☹️ (since it’s technically only immunosuppressive on the CNS)

[Mark Halstead, MD @stlsportsmed]

We need to normalize that our mental health affects our physical health...as well as that our physical health affects our mental health.

We really need to stop treating these 2 things as independent silos.

We need to normalize talking about it & not call those who do "soft"

@scott_mintzer @wesleytkerr @kjdelay1 I will certainly keep a closer eye out for this issue

[Dan Freedman, DO @dfreedman7]

I have patients that see chiropractors. I tell them if it helps, great. If it doesn't, save your money. But I always caution against neck adjustments per the AHA recommendations bc of the association with stroke. Also no baby needs adjustments. Period. End of story.

What a difference a year makes

Love a good trigeminal autonomic cephalgia (my first SUNCT patient) to break up the constant stream of migraine in the clinic 🤓

[Gabby Pentin, PA-C @GabbyAPentin]

@HMorganPedsPCPA Good luck!! 👏🏼

@Kev_McE @ShariDunawayMD I tell patients that mind and body are often described as separate but that our minds are in our brains and our brains control our bodies so it’s not surprising that wires get crossed

Friendly reminder that #FND is diagnosed based on specific physical exam findings. Just because all the work up you’ve done so far is negative doesn’t mean that you can make this diagnosis. And regardless of diagnosis, please be sure to treat the symptoms. #NeuroTwitter

@HMorganPedsPCPA Tysabri is the best! I’ve been relapse free while on Tysabri for 10 years

@HMorganPedsPCPA @UPMC How often you will have MRIs, what their approach would be if you had new lesions

[Gabby Pentin, PA-C @GabbyAPentin]

@HMorganPedsPCPA Oh man I had that but it wasn’t painful, just a buzzing. Sorry to hear. 🤞🏼 that it goes away soon

[Gabby Pentin, PA-C @GabbyAPentin]

@HMorganPedsPCPA Omg that’s a fancy autoinjector I like it lol

[Gabby Pentin, PA-C @GabbyAPentin]

@HMorganPedsPCPA They are thinking that supplementation doesn’t actually make a difference and we may need phototherapy instead, so keep sunbathing! (Safely of course)
