“Clear scans”, with a 7cm endometrioma. I’ve seen this numerous times. Make it make sense. Why is awareness of clinical signs of #endometriosis so low? Why is any sort of pelvic pain so easily dismissed? While this disease isn’t malignant, neither is it benign.

I'm sitting in Denmark right now (where kids <12 were never masked & it's not because Danes don't care about health🇩🇰) reading all of the responses👇 from people who continue to want to mask hospitalized 2 year olds. The fact that so many in the US want to continue this practice…

Good to hear a Labor minister finally state the obvious that Israel is not complying with international law. Every MP/senator should be asked this. The follow up should be why then is the government continuing to support Israel’s genocide, war crimes and atrocities?

1/5 @pfizer is being taken to court due to issues with Depot Provera uncovered by a recent study revealing a 5.6 fold increase in risk of a benign brain tumour (meningiomas) after long term use (2+yrs). Context of relative risk is key so will explain: bmj.com/content/384/bm…

More thoughts from 🇸🇪’s Anders Tegnell on pandemic management. We need to consider whether the ‘precautionary principle’ in a pandemic should mean ‘throw everything at it’ [no matter the potential harms]. That might make sense in the ER but not when it’s about the way people…

🇸🇪 Anders Tegnell this morning regarding Sweden’s response to Covid at @Stanford ‘s Pandemic Policy conference: “A lot of people looked at China at the beginning of Covid thinking they were giving us the ‘easy solution’ but that was not the case. Regarding the Covid response…

Disabled people are far more likely to pretend they're "fine" and essentially self-gaslight into thinking they're "frauds", than they are to be "exaggerating" how they're feeling. Actually I've never met a disabled person who has been "over-exaggerating" - only ever the opposite

Effective dissemination of info agreed upon by global experts is a huge part of the problem. Hence we continue to see $ going to the wrong research. Students only know what they’re taught. The curriculum has to change. For all disciplines involved in the path to diagnosis & care.

Unfortunately there’s a lot wrong here. If education still dictates endometriosis is rogue endometrium, it influences everything. Research, care recommendations etc. we are going backwards. @WorldEndoSoc this is where the focus needs to be. Updating medical school curriculum.

“Medical student earns prestigious fellowship to help women with endometriosis” This wld be funny if it wasn’t embarrassing, infuriating & a spectacular waste of funds. Endometriosis, by definition, occurs OUTSIDE THE UTERUS & IS NOT ENDOMETRIAL TISSUE. health.ucdavis.edu/news/headlines…

Pts have been saying this for a long time & are ignored. Change MUST start w education at every touch point in the care path. This takes time. This requires updating medical curriculums. This requires a level of strategy, collaboration & focus I am yet to see from any org/s.

I was lucky enough to spend some time with James Earl Jones. He was everything you might have hoped, and a fair bit more. Wise, kind, funny, impossibly handsome, with a voice that could have crumbled the walls of Jericho. It was such an honour.

Do you believe the world needs menopause proudly on display? Do you believe in carving out a cultural space for menopause after millennia of silence? Every donation makes a huge difference. Just £10 brings us closer to our goal and helps change the world gofundme.com/f/r9tszw

“We removed what we could….” “We removed most of the disease…” Followed by: “Stay on hormonal suppression to help stop recurrence…” It’s not recurrence, it’s persistence. If a practitioner lacks the skills to excise all disease they need to refer. #endometriosis

1/ If a surgeon refuses to operate unless you go on hormonal suppression, this may be a 🚩 Via ReyTheWarrior on IG.

Another false dawn. The only thing different here is it is a daily pill but it is no different from other GnRH antagonists - chemical menopause. It carries all the same risks, notably significant bone density loss, plus no evidence it actually “shrinks” #fibroids #linzagolix

I struggle to think of any other condition where you would identify a disease, then wait 20+ years to treat when it could result in organ loss or damage (kidney, liver). Make it make sense. #endometriosis
