Gallium PET Scans – Into the Unknown | Ronny Allan | 31 May 2018
Excerpt:
‘There’s a lot of excitement about the Gallium 68 PET Scan since it was approved by the US FDA. It’s not new though and has been in use in several countries (mainly Europe) for some time. It’s a ‘nuclear scan’ and can often form part of what is known as a ‘Theranostic Pair’ (i.e. in conjunction with a therapy – read more here).’

‘What good is advanced surgery if we can’t even offer proper homecare?’ | Anna Bawden and Nicola Slawson | The Guardian | 30 May 2018
Opening paragraph:
‘Almost 1.2 million people aged over 65 do not receive the support they need with essential daily tasks such as getting washed and dressed or preparing meals, according to Age UK. The perilous state of the domiciliary care sector, which provides support in people’s own homes, is one of the main reasons for this, the charity says.’

STUCK IN A GUILTY BUBBLE | VICKY (GUEST WRITER) | Migraine Mantras | 25 May 2018
Opening paragraph:
‘When suffering from a chronic illness, the feeling of guilt is one you can often find yourself getting a little too used to. Although, deep down you know things are not your fault or things are not always in your control, you cannot help that guilty feeling in the pit of your stomach when you are not always one hundred percent yourself. We all have bad days and that is completely okay, but it is accepting that it is okay that is the hurdle and celebrating the positive things.’

I have been a fan of MAYO clinic for years so am really grateful to have access to such a great platform, especially not being a US resident but rather from UK. However, FibroFlutters do have many readers from the US and helping to provide you with safe places to go to online holds as much importance to us as finding safe places for our own UK readers to go to.
There’s access to discussions, webinars & MCSMN Blog depending on membership selection from Free, or, Premium. Please note that e-patients and students receive a special rate.
I certainly look forward to using it more, and hopefully making a few new friends along the way.”

Health Hats | You say you want a revolution | By Danny van Leeuwen | 27 May 2018
Excerpt:
‘One of the things that Victor said was that reformers are important, but healthcare is not designed for health and wellness, care and kindness. The entrenched forces will not fundamentally change with reform. It needs a revolution, a patient revolution. I’ve never been good at putting other people’s labels on myself – I don’t know if I’m a reformer or a revolutionary. During my professional and now activist career, I’ve seen myself as a catalyst for change – sustainable change that continues when you’re gone.’

The Psychosocial Impact of Rosacea: Should Dermatologists Be Concerned? | Suzanne Bujara | Dermatology Advisor | 22 May 2018
Excerpt:
‘Rosacea breeds low self-esteem, which in turn leads to social isolation.1 Historically, rosacea was thought to be a sign of psychiatric illness or alcoholism, which only contributes to existing poor perceptions of the disease.1 Anxiety associated with rosacea creates a vicious cycle, as embarrassment tends to exacerbate the physical blushing associated with the disorder.1’

A bit of a blow?! #Research #aorticvascularinflammation #Humira # Psoriasis
Humira does not improve aortic vascular inflammation in psoriasis patients | Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania | 18 May 2018
I have heard many of my fellow Psoriasis Warriors who love this medication for their psoriasis as it works wonders, apparently, so this is a blow regarding future treatment for ‘aortic vascular inflammation’,… but not overall. (my opinion of course but I’m not a scientist!). Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is associated with increased vascular inflammation.

#Wearabletech and Emergency Rooms, will they help with overcrowding!?
Could wearable tech address issues caused by overcrowding in emergency departments? | Ellen Goldbaum | University at Buffalo | 18 May 2018
Opening lines:
‘It isn’t surprising that when hospital emergency departments become overcrowded, care becomes more fragmented, but a recent study by University at Buffalo researchers has found that technologies designed to track and eventually improve staffing levels must be judiciously chosen.’

#GDPR & the new Privacy Laws. What do they mean for you?
What’s changing and what’s not under new data privacy rules | Anick Jesdanun | physorg.com | 18 May 2018
Excerpt:
‘Not much will change for you, at least right away; companies will keep on collecting and analyzing personal data from your phone, the apps you use and the sites you visit. The big difference is that now, the companies will have to justify why they’re collecting and using that information.’

How to gain control over #osteoarthritis #OA and keep it
Get and Keep Control of Your RA | Rheumatoid Arthritis Blog | Arthritis Foundation | 14 May 2018
Get and Keep Control of Your RA
When your disease is under control, you may be tempted to stop taking your medication. But doing so is NOT a good idea.
Advice from Arthritis Foundation
Excerpt:
‘Most doctors begin hard-hitting treatment as soon as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is diagnosed. Research shows that even in the first months after diagnosis, joint damage can occur if the disease is not treated aggressively, says Paul Howard, MD, a rheumatologist at Arthritis Health in Scottsdale, Ariz.’

Every morning and evening I was posting several links to a variety of online newspapers and thought that maybe I could post twice a day from here, our website/blog, Morning and Evening Post instead.
This is to ensure that all the news and stories go out to everyone that follows us across the social media platforms that we have profiles/accounts.
Here’s a few links to my favourite online newspapers for finding a variety of health related news from other Chronic Illness Bloggers & Warriors, for up to date news about health conditions such as latest research papers or people sharing hints and tips about how they cope day-to-day.
Let us help them by showing our support by sharing the news and stories that they share.
If you publish a health related paper.li or other health news magazine/paper that isn’t listed and you would like it to be, please contact me – Carole Sian at fibroflutters@gmail.com or use the form below and let me know, always happy to help 🙂
