💯 Neuropsychiatric manifestations of systemic disease are very common, but rarely acknowledged. A knee-jerk reaction to treat with SSRIs is often not the right answer. #BrainHealth #NeuroTwitter #MedTwitter

Attention to indoor air quality and ventilation is essential defense against respiratory pathogens, including Covid. We're beginning to make progress, as Joseph Allen outlines here, and we desperately need to address other environmental exposures. In Ground Truths, with transcript.

Trying to solve the timing and cause of my patient's fainting and to time medications, meals and fluids so that we could finally prevent that once a day syncope... is like moving pieces of the puzzle to find the right fit. 🙃 One thing for sure: my work is not boring! 😀

Yes, we are! Because we have not explored post-infectious illnesses over the last many decades, and #LongCovid is now underscoring this wide gap of knowledge.

✍️ Finalizing a big paper, I realize that many ideas that I had years ago were considered too radical and "not in line with the current thinking." But today -partly due to #Covid_19 and #LongCovid - these ideas are now considered mainstream. This is not about "I told you so,"

There is so much that the world doesn’t understand where it comes to health. This is especially true with silent chronic illnesses. Thank you for giving them attention.

What most autoimmune/inflammatory disorders have in common, including #POTS, #LongCovid, #MECFS, #MCAS and #EDS, is a high prevalence of GI dysfunction, including SIBO, IBS and GERD. No doubt that inflammation, autoimmunity and altered gut microbiome are connected.

I wrote this in January 2024 during the Winter #Covid_19 surge, it was rejected by some high-impact journals. 🤔 Thanks to my coauthor Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD and my friend Ziyad Al-Aly, MD for encouraging me to keep going. Sadly, this paper is as relevant today as it was 9 months ago. 😷🦠

A few months ago a high-impact journal rejected my paper on #LongCovid by saying that I went into advocacy and the need for funding too much. 🙄 If they had told me to revise and resubmit, I would've done that, but their rejection told me that they just "don't want to talk about

To make this study of value, the authors should've separated adolescents who had #Covid from those who didn't and compare their MRI of the brain. Without this separation, the conclusions of the study are not valid aside from "female and male brain responds differently to an

It doesn't look like the authors included my paper on positive ANA in #POTS in their table. Read here: 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…
