@AshleyGWinter PMR is a clinical dx. ESR/CRP (did you mention) + clinical symptoms +/- Obj vasculitis (GCA was rul out). If presumptive dx is PMR, 78% will respond to 12.5mg. 90+ will respond to 25mg. Failure of treatment would put her into an atypical presentation of a rare dis, The unicorn.

@AshleyGWinter “47/60 (78.3%) patients responded to 12.5 mg of prednisone after a mean interval of 6.6 ± 5.2 days”. 50mg pred doesn’t work and it’s PMR?? PMR dx very subjective and prone to over and under dx. Clearly rheum already made one clinical mistake: no GCA.

Do you have acne?

This systematic review of 34 articles concluded that carbs/sugar and dairy contribute to acne.

More specifically, dairy consumption was shown to be a problem when consumed as part of a Western diet.

More evidence showing how the brain cleans itself of toxins during sleep, including those associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Sleep: a foundation, not pillar, of mental health? Associational study of +1,000 people. Sleep quality was the strongest predictor of depressive symptoms and flourishing, followed by sleep quantity. Next were physical activity then diet (fruit & veggies). https://t.co/bhu7hRJG7W

Or earlier sleep times! #sleep

[Matt Walker @sleepdiplomat]

Delaying school start times by 1hr = 1) more sleep, 2) better attendance, and 3) superior academic performance. Conclusion: "A delay in school start time should be seriously considered to improve sleep and academic achievements of students." Quite. https://t.co/9ShdYw7MJc

That’s what happens when you get your COVID19 info from someone with a MFA in Creative Writing. It’s a mix of facts, professional opinions, and the authors guesses. The later is not credible.

[Vinay Prasad MD MPH @VPrasadMDMPH]

I read this and had the same thought.
It is not credible that after mass vaccination we have asx infections and long covid. What is the goal of such a claim? To deter vaccination? I am puzzled

Study: Yes, Half of #Coronavirus #COVID19 Carriers Show No Symptoms. This is why patient/host and immune factors are as important as the virus. Same virus, different immune responses==> different disease (or no disease) https://t.co/yXBCsA9uSY

@KatherineJWu Without obj evidence of anaphylaxis this report is irresponsible. No specific signs of an allergic reaction. HR of 150 as the first sign?! He doesn’t need more epi! Numbness no swelling. No rash. If BP dropped what was HR, if low clearly vasovagal. Need actual Med record.
