I know this is nearly a week late, but I want to thank the #AMPP (Association of Med-Peds Physicians) for inviting me to talk at their inaugural conference. I love talking about all things #DigitalScholarship #MedEd. They graciously allowed me to record my talk: youtu.be/C-OXgMytxMo?...

I think it has pros and cons. However, I do prefer to do my end of block feedback at the same time that I fill out my evals with the resident.

My categorical IM are 8+4 and my PCT (primary care) are 4+4. Our program sends out online evals every 4 week block.

13/ 🧠 Dr. Bonilla’s takeaway: "Listening to patients is critical. Many therapies, like naltrexone and Abilify, were inspired by patient experiences and deserve further study."

12/ 🌍 The bigger picture: Post-viral syndromes highlight gaps in our understanding of infection-associated chronic conditions. Research and collaboration are vital for progress.
cjchiu.bsky.social
11/ ⚠️ The risks of unregulated treatments: Desperate patients often turn to unproven therapies. Dr. Bonilla emphasizes the need for safe, evidence-based care and patient-centered support.

10/ Challenges: Lack of biomarkers limits diagnosis. ME/CFS is based on clinical criteria like fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and orthostatic intolerance. Long COVID follows a similar diagnostic path.

9/ 📖 Advocacy is key: Patients need validation and support. Recognizing ME/CFS and Long COVID as real, disabling conditions is a vital first step toward effective care and research.

8/ 🧬 Dr. Bonilla notes intriguing links between ME/CFS, Long COVID, and genetic predispositions, including hypermobility syndromes (e.g., Ehlers-Danlos). Why some patients develop these conditions while others don't remains a puzzle.

7/ 📊 Early data shows ~50% of patients benefit from low-dose naltrexone, and ~70% report positive effects from Abilify. Controlled trials are urgently needed to confirm these findings.

6/ 💊 Treatment insights:

- Low-dose naltrexone: Reduces inflammation and modulates the immune system.
- Abilify (aripiprazole): May reduce brain inflammation and improve energy regulation. Start with very low doses (0.1-2 mg) and titrate carefully.

5/ ⛽ "Think of energy like a gas tank," says Dr. Bonilla. ME/CFS & Long COVID patients operate on "2 gallons" instead of 40. Pacing is critical to avoid crashes and manage daily life.
