Joy is good. Laughter even better as along as it doesn't hurt 😜🫰

I debated making a list each month on Pocket or Instapaper that people could download, but unfortunately I’m not well enough to add that extra step. Hope you enjoy when you’re able to dive in!

Oh I’m so sorry if this came across as your responsibility to find another way to read. No the ball is firmly in my court to make it work with a self imposed goal to reduce my phone time :)

Don't worry, it didn't come across that way — it's genuinely something I thought would be fun to do. :) Thank you for clarifying!

Sorry to hear about your latest challenge. Glad to hear that you got good care at the hospital. Having a 1 pager to hand to medical staff is a great idea. I’m pretty sure you’ve thought about this but there are some companies and researchers looking into treatment options for resetting the immune system. The immune system is such a complex but critical system that we all take for granted… https://researchfeatures.com/novel-drugs-help-reset-dysfunctional-immune-systems/

Thank you Steve! Will have a read of that post. I have been paying attention to this research, as you guessed — I'm very curious to see where it goes. For MCAS patients, there's a receptor called Mrgprb2 that is mast cell-specific, and involved in mast cell degranulation and pain. I'm also watching to see where research goes on that front (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s12276-024-01230-1 and for UC, https://www.dovepress.com/mast-cell-specific-receptor-mrgprb2-regulating-experimental-colitis-is-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-JIR)

The series on obesity was fascinating and led to many interesting offshoots. Thanks for sharing!
