As was pointed out to me - PAs, NPs, housekeeping, food service, techs, CNAs, CRNAs, transport, security, parking, etc. They all contribute far more than most of us (including myself) and deserve our gratitude. #NYPHeroes

I alluded to it but felt remiss that I didn’t specifically mention that the nurses, residents, and fellows are truly superstars working tirelessly under less than ideal conditions #NYPHeroes

6) Every single ICU patient (barring QTc issues) got hydroxychloroquine and it doesn’t seem to have helped. Maybe it helps for prophylaxis or in mild disease, but doesn’t appear to do anything once in ICU. It is NOT a pancea and should not be given indiscriminately. (7/10)

“Registering disabled people” reminds me of “registering Jews” to be taken to their slaughter during the holocaust. The only thing that’s registered disabled is my car

Oh my GOD can people stop asking the question “are you registered disabled?”
THERE IS NO REGISTER. THERE IS NO SPECIAL LIST OF ALL THE DISABLED PEOPLE IN THE UK. THIS DOES NOT EXIST.
And frankly if it did, that would be a bit dystopian.

Fun holiday family bullshit starting early this year. Dad hasn’t called or reached out in 10 months but pay late on a loan he co-signed because I was violently ill & couldn’t drive to bank he crawls out of the fucking woodwork. Least his priorities are straight 🖕🏻you pops.

I have never been happier that my unanswered calls go to an answering service and that they can deal with him for me. I have no time for a father who has his priorities that fucked up.

I want to break down but I have a student call in 30 minutes so I’m keeping it together. Reliving Christmas all over again & being attacked by my stepmom. I just wish he’d either be present or just stay the fuck away completely cause I can’t handle this emotional rollercoaster

Hi twitter. Been a minute. My #chroniclife has been kicking my ass. But we’re slowly turning a corner it seems - only to find another brick wall. You know how that goes #rheumatoidarthritis #rheum

Do you remember when you joined Twitter (with this account at least. My other account is almost a decade old now)? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

The itch struggle is fucking real with this monitor. And I have 11 more days with it on. Antihistamines aren’t helping. Argh #chroniclife

A2: right now I have vital organ involvement in my disease (heart/lungs). I’d love to understand how they’re interconnected. #creakychats x.com/creakyjoints/status/96…

Q2: What kind of questions about chronic disease would you like to see answered by research and/or what are some of the research topics in chronic disease that you would like to see? #CreakyChats

A1: Hope. As a life long RA patient I am running out of options. Research gives me hope for a cure, for new treatments - options to keep fighting! x.com/creakyjoints/status/96…
5 Feb 2018
Alright, let's get started! Q1: What words or feelings come to mind when you think of research? #CreakyChats
5 Feb 2018
And we love you for all your hard work @CureArthritis x.com/curearthritis/status/9…
A3: We don’t personally participate, but we have the pleasure of funding over $1 million in #ArthritisResearch every year. There is still a lot of work to do and we’re grateful for the #CureArthritis community that helps us fund this research. #CreakyChats

My feet aren’t up just to be an asshole in a crowded terminal. My knee and ankle are on fire and this helps make it manageable before the preemptive Pain meds kick in I always take for a trip whether I need them now or not I’ll need them at some point in my flight.

Let the very awkward and obvious stares at me begin. You can’t tell but I’m sticking my tongue out at you every time I catch it happening.
