Yes, different entities, but we should point out that I have been saying we should do something on PMR.
So watch this space.
Yeah,
right.
Hannah says, I have recently found out that I carry the Huntington's disease gene in the low penetrance range.
No, explanations needed.
Hannah says my mother also has the H D or the Huntington's disease gene in the low penetrance range and she has also been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
Is there an increased likelihood of experiencing fibromyalgia when you have the HD gene, or if there is any link between fibromyalgia and the expression of the HD gene?
I'm curious if diagnosed with fibromalgia.
like in my mum's case, is she more likely to develop symptoms of Huntington's disease?
Or is it just a coinc coincidence that is found along the same gene with no correlation between the two conditions?
And I think you talked about that in the story.
And we also had a rheumatologist write in, Daniel, who says the functional somatic central sensitization syndromes have been misunderstood and ignored until the emergence of lung COVID.
Conditions such as fibromalgia, chronic fatigue type syndromes, headache, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain, irritable bladder have remained hidden illnesses.
As you noted, individuals with these symptoms have been marginalized by the health system, society and employers.
Highlighting these illnesses is a step forward in recognizing these conditions and making individuals aware of the therapeutic options.
I encourage you to do more programs focused on these conditions as it is only through public education that the health system will slowly turn towards adopting a more positive and supportive attitude.
for all the notes.
We love the notes, Norman.
