Bluesky intro:

In health, a #DevelopmentalPsychology researcher focusing on adolescent relationships and adjustment.

Currently floored by 2 #chronicillnesses and stubbornly hoping some health might come back, so that I can go back to doing developmental psychology research.

I block ableists.

If this new peak after a lull is due to waning immunity only, and not due to any immune escape. Then we know the maximum respite we will have onward: 10 months.
Not good.

New paper on the problems with the Cass review.

"How did the Cass review come to be so terrible, and why was it readily accepted by so many people who claim to be evidence-based?

There are lots of different answers in the piece, but the underlying issue is simply bias."

The Cass Review Continues To Be Severely Flawed

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Despite resting for days before my meeting with my GP, I still managed to be exhausted and somehow confused. My GP is kind and supportive, asks questions at a pace at which I can answer, so it is even more frustrating that, despite accommodations, in a bad day I am in a cloud of confusion and pain.

"Researchers have discovered a small group of brain cells that play a part in long-lasting pain in mice. The team found that the neurons, in a brain area called the parabrachial nucleus, switched on in response to a painful stimulus and remained active long afterwards"

Brain area linked to chronic pain discovered — offering hope for treatments

The newfound ensemble of neurons could lead to therapies to treat persistent pain, which affects roughly one of five people globally.

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Meta considers women's health a "political issue" and stopped the campaign of the Swedish Cancer Foundation that was informing women about the importance of mammograms on Facebook.
This is completely deranged behaviour from a social media company. Health is apolitical, women's health is apolitical.

That is borderline at odds with privacy. To always have a program listening on the conversation. This will also lower the quality of care if the physician feels they should not say something when they are unsure, which often is helpful for a future diagnosis in complex illness.

On putin's birthday, let's remember all those people who stood up to him and lost their life.

Imprisoning early teens is not going to solve criminality. A 13-year old does not need imprisonment, they will need social support and school.
Good quality schooling and a sense of belonging will make good citizens out of them.
Early prison will set them for a criminal career.

Nej Kristersson, att åtala och fängsla trettonåringar som blivit groomade av kriminella äldre är ingen "insats" eller något som kommer att skydda barn.

Om vi ska komma lägre ner i åldrarna med insatserna så behöver ni rusta upp skola, föreningsliv, socialtjänst mm. Fängelse är ingen insats.

Skärmavbild från Rapport där Kristersson pratar om dådet i Gävle och att en trettonåring är gripen. På textremsan står det "det vi misstänkt: vi måste komma lägre ner i åldrarna med insatserna."

It's 2025 and it is still on the shoulders of patients to justify and explain to everyone, including some physicians, how having a mutation that makes specific cells be bad at their job will impact one's functions.
Even when there is knowledge out there, if it is not in popular culture, it's on you.

And a neo-nazi goes free and with very few consequences for his incitement to hatred against a group of people.
This is why the far-right extremism is taking wings again. There are no consequences for them. Courts slap their hand and let them free to do even more harm.

It is linked to microclotting in this case, in long covid:
"This newly discovered mechanism may lie behind the production of similar micro blood clots that have been observed in both serious and long-term COVID-19. Disturbed blood coagulation is also seen in many amyloid-related illnesses."

“Study challenges notion that Covid is ‘mild’ for children.”

You mean, just like EVERY OTHER STUDY on Covid in children?

This shouldn’t be framed as a surprise, or even news, but as established fact. The real question is why we’re still not trying to stop it.
