The chaos that preceded the @LSUHS Fellows #RheumMadness bracket submission!
We had a gr8 time learning Rheum history these 2 months: understanding why we do what we do today. The All Star Season should be a part of every Rheum fellowship forever!

@Janetbirdope Would you consider escalating treatment to bosentan and prostacyclins when patients have severe pain and refractory Raynauds with CCBand PDEi but have no evidence of digital ulcerations.

Be a minimalist versus a maximalist. Live to the point. Say NO to most activities, so you can build the rest of your life around your gorgeous priorities.

Type YES if you commit to being a more focused producer. 🙏🏽

Hope all this helps. I’m here to serve.

Love, Robin

How sclerosants work for telangiectasias 💉💡

[Dr. John Cush @RheumNow]

Do not take antacids or PPI with mycophenolate. Magnesium & aluminium hydroxide antacids (Maalox) will lower MMF Cmax 33% & AUC 17% if given simultaneously. PPI also lowers AUC by ~33% https://t.co/D0eQWcON2J https://t.co/rK77lCmbVv https://t.co/5X0e6DBxAh

Solid advice. If a woman on chronic #methtrexate becomes pregnant, stop it and give folate 5 mg/day. Also reassure pt and send for tests as needed - fetal ultrasound, counselling, etc
