Asymptomatic spread of Covid is real and never stopped. An asymptomatic case can lead to Long Covid. Could that person standing next to you in public have asymptomatic Covid? You will never know.

@KevinEspiritu Yes! Bigger is not always better.

@OgLakyn To be slightly pedantic back - fiber is the boll of cotton etc. Humans make thread and fabric from it. So natural fibers are fibers that are found in nature. Is all food is man-made when you can pick a blueberry off a bush? Yes there is labor involved, but a bird does both too.

@broadwaybabyto Yes you can be used to it, but also something I have noticed is that I am less able to deal with "regular" problems because I have no reserve. Anything that I would power through and still go to work in normal times makes me useless bc I can't dig deep bc there is nothing there.

@ArtsyMarx1st I understand the pressures involved beforehand, but less so the surprise afterwards. Obviously everything is much worse now, but watching people for over a decade finding out they can't pay their loans over and over was nearly as exhausting as people ignoring the pandemic is now.

@joelle_lb @POSTWOOK A kindred spirit! Although mine almost never come out as nice as yours. Very impressive.

No one is panicking about Hantavirus, stop trying to clam monger everyone. It’s just that your track record is terrible. #Hanta #Hantavirus

@1goodtern I actually agree with that particular sentence of his. It's just that my eyes nearly burned holes in my screen because we are already in that situation! But of course, that individual has no self awareness or understanding of irony.

@ThePOTSPostman I only occasionally search for something specific and end up on r/dysautonomia and then read some posts. Saw one the other day that mentioned not breathing when concentrating etc. I have NO IDEA when in my life I started that. When DID the foundation start to crack?

I want to explain more on what I mean when I say that #POTS is a #brain disorder, neuroimmune or neurological. 🧠 It means that the brain, the brainstem and the central autonomic networks play a major role in the pathophysiology of POTS. 🧠 Striking neurologic and cardiovascular symptoms in nearly all patients with POTS point to the impaired neural control of the cardiovascular reflexes, including modulation of heart rate, blood pressure and possibly blood volume. 🧠 It means that we neurologists should be trained in POTS and other forms of autonomic NERVOUS system disorders. What it DOESN'T mean: 🧠 It doesn't mean that neuroplasticity, central sensitization or abnormal interoception are the mechanisms of POTS --> there is no evidence to suggest this. 🧠 It doesn't mean that biofeedback or brain reprocessing therapy are effective --> Zero studies to date that demonstrate these therapies being effective in POTS. 🧠 It doesn't mean that patients with #POTS should be referred to psychiatrists and psychologists for treatment of POTS. 🧠 It doesn't mean that POTS is caused by anxiety, hypervigilance, functional neurologic disorder or fear of standing --> Only physicians with very little training and understanding of POTS would think that. #brainHealth #MedEd #PatientCare #Neurology

When it comes to precise pathophysiology of #POTS, nothing is for certain. I just read through the proofs of my upcoming paper and had to tone down my certainties from "is" to "may be" and from "mechanism" to "possible mechanism." One thing is for certain though: the brain with

@amiandlife I have MCAS, but also Autoimmune Progesterone Dermatitis and that's exactly the kind of rash I get with that. Check against your hormone cycle when it appears? Also my MCAS flares with pretty much every hormone upturn/spike.

@ghhughes Oh that would definitely be expensive, and I appreciate any work that you and others do manage. Just something for people to think about maybe, you don't need to have all answers. I guess it depends on what % of each remains breathable SA on different sized people (>2 anyway)?

@ghhughes Very important. What interests me about your graph is that the smaller version of the same mask seems to be a lot harder to breath through than the regular/larger version. Do you think this is due to testing method or is it harder for smaller people to breathe in a fitted mask?
