    Thanks for this. Fwiw, Dr. Hughes, who discovered APS/Hughes Syndrome, has said multiple times that having a thrombotic event plus positive labs were meant for classification, not clinical diagnosis. He thinks it's absurd not to dx APS if you have positive labs or else you're just waiting for someone to throw a clot, etc.

    There is probably a spectrum of disease. Some people clear their symptoms and some do not. There are animal models that suggest the bacteria is very hard to eradicate from the animal. Consider the work of Dr Monica Embers.

  • @Catweazle01
    @Catweazle01 Před rokem

    45:02 Why are you citing a Flawed Study with its Erroneous conclusions? The study’s conclusion is flawed since: 1. There's no true placebo group. Fig 2 shows improvement in all groups at wk 14, including those receiving subsequent oral placebo. Sustained SF-36 improvements could be from the 2 wks of ceftriaxone that all received. It's unknown if longer treatment with ceftriaxone could have additional benefit. 2. Doxycycline+clarithromycin are poor at eradicating the antibiotic tolerant/ persistent forms of Borrelia, which may be one cause of chronic Lyme (Feng 2015, Sharma 2015). 3. CDC guidelines are that IgG, not IgM against Borrelia shows infection after the first 4-6 wks. These patients had symptoms for >2 years. IgM- positive patients (22-36% in this study) may substantially differ from the others. 4. Co-infections by other tick-borne pathogens wouldn't have responded to the oral antibiotics used here, and patients were not tested for these. And, the European Borrelia species differ in virulence and symptomatology from those in North America, limiting the study’s relevance to that geographic location. Harriet Kotsoris, MD and Mayla Hsu, PhD (Global Lyme Alliance) and Allison DeLong, MS, (Biostatistician, Brown University School of Public Health).

    12.45, and that is exactly where the healthcare people fail, the borrelia bacteria is injected in the victim at the time the tick attaches, the bacteria is allready changing it's outer form to overcome the immune system, that is why only 30% of lyme cases develop an EM. And manny serological tests fail. Also the form of the bacteria is the most efficient way to travel! A corckscrew like outer form in a blood vessel can rapedly go to every corner of the body. And jet still manny doctors claim this is not true, maybe they should read more of the amazing work of their collegues. 32.54, typical comment from the healthcare people, it is a economic company and not from the state so it can not be trusted, the reasson why they don't let the state see their research is because of theft. And seccond, if those companies are so bad they go bankrupt. What i miss in the healthcare is this, 99% is researching what they allready know, but what you have to do is research to stuff you don't know, like seronegative Borrelia, there are 200 papers about this item and it does exists, why do medici pay huge attention to that! Darkfield Microscopy is the best way to figure out if one has borrelia with him or her.

This data provides no ways of people to understand self treatment rather than relying on expensive medical system that is shown to not be needed with most cases.

I argue that biden/harris and the democratic party don't give a damn about the fentanyl crisis because it overwhelmingly affects White Americans, whom they don't give one good goddamn about. They call it "Equity."

    KSA or DIE. If you’re a government worker or a veteran that has applied for a government job your qualifications are based upon KSA = Knowledge, Skills, Ability. DIE = Diversity, Inclusion, Equity (Equity is not the same as Equality) does nothing to prove an individual’s Knowledge, Skills and Ability to do the job. If a company feels compelled to add a DIE hiring manager or change their company logo to rainbow colors to pander to the LGBTQ group or DIE group, it’s perceived as patronizing and thus that company may have had prior discriminatory hiring practices. Bottom line…any public or private company that discriminates against a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, economic status, veteran status or disability is in violation of State and Federal employment laws. KSA or DIE. Teach your children well.

  • @Darci.
    @Darci. Před 3 lety

    I was diagnosed with a Factor V Leiden double mutation when I was approximately 7-8 weeks pregnant with my son in 2005. At the time of diagnosis I had a abnormally large blood clots in my left leg and blockage of my left femoral artery. I was also coughing up blood clots and having severe pin point pain in my back. This was disregarded until I coughed up a large blood clot and showed it my nurse. Shortly thereafter ( a few hours later) I was diagnosed with multiple PE’s. Thankfully I survived these events and my son was born healthy and on time. At the end 2013-beginning of 2014 I was scheduled for lithotripsy of both kidneys due to 11mm and 13mm kidney stones. It was to be second time having a lithotripsy, the first was 2004, I believe. When running fairly standard blood tests before my scheduled surgery my doctor found abnormalities in my lupus panel. My surgery was delayed and I was referred back to my hematologist for further testing. I was then diagnosed with APS. I was already taking anticoagulants for treatment of the Factor V Leiden. I had been on warfarin since my sons birth and then changed to Xarelto in 2014. At the time my doctor was able to switch me from warfarin to Xarelto we did not know that it was ineffective in patients with APS. In 2019 I was working in metal fabrication and it required me to be on my feet constantly and my left leg, which has been plagued with pain and swelling from edema to the point of being unable to walk at times, even with compression stockings. I began to see and feel new clotting, superficially below my left knee. My doctor ordered an ultrasound, which confirmed superficial clotting, but they didn’t find a DVT at the time, and he kept me on Xarelto. The clotting continued to get worse and my ability to work became impossible as my boss continued to give me work assignments that required me to be on my feet continuously, though he was aware that I had clots in my leg. This led to me being put on disability and I had to file for workmen’s compensation. When I saw the doctor for workers Comp in March 2020 he sent me directly to the emergency room where I was diagnosed with DVT’s. The emergency room supervising doctor told me that I had to stop taking the Xarelto immediately because it failed. I was put back on a combination of warfarin and lovenox and after a follow up with my hematologist I was put on 100 ml enoxaparin sodium injections which I have administer every 12 hours. From what research I have done on the internet, and admittedly I am hampered by the fact that I understand very little about my diagnoses, I have been unable to find more 3 other instances of patients that have the same combination of blood clotting issues. In those cases, they each had an additional diagnosis of which I do not. My current (new) doctor sent my medical file to UCSF, and I had one consultation over zoom with them. They have not yet scheduled an additional appointment with me. More than anything, I would just like to understand what it means that I have these conditions. I have not found any Blood Clotting for Dummies or a Laymen’s Guide to Obscure Blood Problems. I have asked my doctors and specialists to please explain my conditions, slowly and simply, but so far I honestly feel like I’m looking for a needle in hayfield in the dark. If there is anyone out there that can dumb it down for me, I would appreciate it. I have trouble explaining my conditions to others because I don’t understand what they are and what they do. And perhaps if there’s anyone else that shares these diagnoses, I don’t believe my situation can be all that unique, what is their understanding of what living with a Factor V Leiden double mutation and APS means. I wish to understand my prognosis, as I have a 14 year old son that is scared to death that he may be an orphan someday soon.

      Oh my word!!! I cannot believe our cases are so similar!!! Trying to keep this story short! I feel your pain of the unknown. With a history of several miscarriages and infertility. In 2019 I had 3 dvts that came up in my arms. Sent for test on blood disorders. Diagnosed with double mutation of factor V. My father passed at 38. So my mother was tested. Hers came up negative. So it wasn’t a double mutation. Since I had 3 dvts, I was put on eliquis for life. Since then I’ve had severe swelling in the arms even after therapy and garments. Just getting my blood taken usually will throw a superficial clot or hematoma. 2 years ago I started with pain in shoulder blades , collar bone , chest and neck. Sent to Cleveland clinic for further evaluation. Diagnosed with bilateral TOS. Still no answers except surgery. If you see what that looks like. No thanks. I’ll manage! Last I have been having abdominal issues. Sent to gastroenterologist. Blood work showed I’m positive for ANA. Which is a auto immune disorder. I go Tuesday to follow up on what’s next. Looking for what it could be brought me here. You are the closest case I’ve seen to mine. Been searching for 4 years! 🥰 Hope you are finding the answers you need! Please, reach out! ✨✨✨

Penny was just 11 years old when she decided that people online were right - that she was “transgender.” At 13, she was prescribed hormone blockers, and by 15, she’d had a double mastectomy. “Very shortly after surgery, my depression got worse. I hated myself just as much as ever, leading me to a psychiatric hospitalization in October 2019.”
