btw when she went to the hospital for her symptoms she was told it was all in her head and she was exaggerating her symptoms to gain attention and thats what motivated her to do this research and no traditional science lobby funded her so she relied on private funds/donation
When the geneticist Marlena Fejzo was pregnant for the first time, she felt sick almost immediately. She lost 15 pounds. She went to the emergency room twice to receive I.V. fluids. Two years later, she became pregnant again. She couldn’t eat, drink, or move without “violently vomiting.” She shrank to less than 90 pounds, becoming so weak that she needed a buzzer to communicate. Eventually, she had a feeding tube placed.
She was suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (H.G.), a disease characterized by extreme nausea and vomiting. Kate Middleton, Amy Schumer, and millions worldwide have been afflicted with the condition. Studies show that the disease occurs in up to three per cent of pregnancies—and the real incidence may be even higher. Still, scientists who research the condition, including Fejzo, have struggled to obtain funding. Those who experience the debilitating condition have long been dismissed, shamed, or accused of faking their symptoms. Fejzo’s research has recently identified a gene responsible for H.G. Clinical trials, for possible medications, are under way. Anna Russell writes about extreme cases of morning sickness: https://t.co/6Vp7AXRWTC
I say this every time.
I need women to realise you aren’t special in the patriarchy.
The fact that you haven’t been assaulted yet, doesn’t mean other women did something wrong.
You are just LUCKY
Leaked video from men's ICE detention center—detainees are coughing up blood.
"People have tuberculosis—I witness it working in the kitchen," he says.
"They lock them in punishment cell... instead of medical center."
"Conjunctivitis is spreading cause 76 people are in 1 cell."
"There is a flu going around that never goes away because we are overcrowded."
Video footage comes from inside the River Center ICE Detention Center in Ferriday, Louisiana.
"This video is intended to reach health authorities and the media, so that the reality of what we are all experiencing here is known."
Adonys doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length and credited video here to help raise awareness.
the overturning of roe v wade fully brought us here, it was already eroded as much as possible because of things like the patriot act, it wasn't just about abortion, it was the fundamental right to privacy
Like wtf do you mean there were more black girls and women in media in the 1990s than there are in 2026 that’s supposedly meant to be a more “progressive” time period in comparison??? Disgraceful.
While they’re telling you to put more beans in your beef so you can afford to make burritos for your family, remember the Israeli lobby spent $30 million to take me out of Congress because I wouldn’t vote for the things that have made your grocery bills so high.
This feels terrible and dangerous. I have called 911 for myself and for serious incidents on behalf of others. When you call 911, you are almost always in a panic with massive adrenaline and you NEED a human voice on the other end to give you instructions and care.
America is a beautiful melting pot of monarchist Iranians, Shen Yun Chinese, Orange County Vietnamese, White Russians, Cuban gusanos, Miami Venezuelans, Afrikaners, Eduardo Bolsonaro. A rainbow of people who had their servants taken away.
I'm told Affordability isn't a Problem
I'm told i can just cook at home
Yet, i can go through my Purchase History, the price for the Exact same Product and Exact same Weight has Doubled since 2023.
