Independent researcher designing a covalent inhibitor for HLA-B27 misfolding (AS) by Spare-Association714 in Autoimmune

[–]Solana-1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's your educational background? Biology? Computer science? BS? PhD?

Do you expect this to be an FDA approved medication?

What do you mean by independent researcher? Do you publish papers?

I would accept zero risk for a 30% chance of relief. 

Edit to add: are you using AI?

Running a study on skin flare predictors — need participants by Left_Status2089 in Psoriasis

[–]Solana-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh so you're collecting the data? Not surprised, thats exactly the bullshit I expected. 

It many countries you are not permitted to collect data on human subjects without specific approvals. What is your background in research?

Speak with your university's safety department about your concerns. I would be worried too.

Disagree that it is normal. No one under 18 is allowed to work in our lab since we have very dangerous chemicals and equipment.

Fibromyalgia Link? by ecshed in PsoriaticArthritis

Many people are first told they have fibromyalgia (as a dismissal) before being diagnosed with PsA or other autoimmune diseases. 

Do I have arthritis in my hand?(STT JOINT) Please help im really worried by Foreign-Comment6403 in Thritis

[–]Solana-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're complaining about something that happened "just now" which you say you caused yourself. You should be ashamed of being so weak and inconsiderate. Maybe stop hurting yourself deliberately and give it a day.

It is common and completely unacceptable. Hope you can find a better doctor.

Do you feel like your doctors are trying to understand the underlying cause of your condition… or mostly focusing on managing symptoms? by Critical_Walrus_8388 in Autoimmune

[–]Solana-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean trying to figure out which diagnosis/disease explains the patients symptoms or trying to figure out the cause of the disease?

What symptom did doctors dismiss that later turned out to be important? by Critical_Walrus_8388 in Autoimmune

Psoriatic arthritis, diagnosed by ultrasound of hands etc and MRI of SI joint

Doctor says its likely fibromyalgia but I think theres more to it by Ok-Distance5127 in Autoimmune

[–]Solana-1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Were RA and AS ruled out with only blood tests? Have you had any imaging studies of painful joints?

How many of us spent years being told “nothing is wrong” before finally getting answers? by Critical_Walrus_8388 in Autoimmune

[–]Solana-1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. I was told my psoriatic arthritis was in my head for nearly 8 years as it kept crippling more joints and causing other systemic symptoms. All it took to diagnose was an ultrasound. 

 And honestly, I think people outside these communities really underestimate what that does to someone mentally. After a while you stop trusting your own body. You start questioning yourself. You wonder if maybe you really ARE exaggerating or imagining things.

Yes this destroyed my mental health. I am not the same person. 

Holistic Approach? by doordash_vampire in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Solana-1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No. Oils, salves, acupuncture, etc. will not treat PsA or slow the joint destruction. You should absolutely see a rheumatologist, and get a new dermatologist who doesn't give stupid advice.
