I'm 1 of 50 million Americans living with an immune system that mistakenly attacks/damages healthy tissue (rude). During #AutoimmuneAwarenessMonth we strive to promote better understanding of these complex chronic conditions. Follow me as I share my journey this month. 
2) It takes an average of 4.5 years and 4 physicians for patients to recieve an autoimmune diagnosis:
-Many conditions mimic others
-Lab tests are not always definitive
-Symptoms flare and dissipate frequently
-Diseases often appear in clusters

3) This is me at 32, a month before I woke up 1 day + couldn't walk. Days later I couldn't bend my fingers. Bilateral pain/swelling + fam history of #rheumatoidarthritis prompted labs. Sky high CRP, ESR, rheumatoid factor sent me to a #rheumatologist.

La primera pregunta que analizaremos es la número 17 del MIR23, asociada a la imagen👇🧵
♀️ 65 años consulta porque los últimos 2 años ha notado pérdida del cabello en la línea ant. de implantación del cuero cabelludo temporal y frontal, y pérdida completa de cejas. En 🔍 de las mejillas y mentón se aprecian pequeñas pápulas del color de la piel🤔Señale lo correcto:
La respuesta correcta es la opción c, que suponía una histopatología similar a la del liquen plano pilaris, ya que, correlacionando el cuadro con la imagen, podemos determinar una #alopecia frontal fibrosante🤔👇🧵
Abro 🧵para hacer un recuento de lo que el #Año2022 nos dejó:
1. La aprobación por la @US_FDA en Noviembre del Tzield (#Teplizumab), un anticuerpo monoclonal anti-CD3 que retrasa la aparición de la #diabetes tipo 1.

2. La publicación en @ScienceMagazine de la fase 1 del ensayo clínico con la #vacuna eOD-GT8-AS01B para prevenir el #VIH, que indujo la sintesis de #anticuerpos neutralizantes vs el virus, en el 97% de los que fueron vacunados.
My life's work has always been about trauma & healing.

Let’s talk about what it’s like to live with #alopecia. The deeply vulnerable & difficult moments that our families see. Appreciation post for those who hold us down & support us when we’re at our lowest points. They see us, fully. #IYKYK
Our bodies are not public domain. They are not a line in a joke—especially when the transformation is not of our choosing.
I’m a survivor of violence. I'm a proud Alopecian. The psychological toll we carry daily is real. Team Jada always. That’s that on that.

1/🧵 I think Chris Rock wouldn't have made a joke about Jada's illness if more folks were educated about the high prevalence of autoimmune & other chronic disorders.

2/ As a woman who lives with multiple immune-related disorders, when a comedian makes a joke about chronic illness, I feel unseen...not just for me, but for all my fellow #chronicfolks. Does Chris Rock have any idea what Jada goes through to live with alopecia? Probably not.
3/ As a country, we need to create more dialogue around chronic illness, and especially autoimmune diseases. They are so prevalent yet they are usually talked about in whispers....'Oh, she has Crohn's.' Cancer used to be spoken about in hushed words, too.

Let's say a patient complains of his/her hair falling out. In the spirit of examining first as #dermatologists tend to do, let's start with the exam. This is the easiest way to differentiate between the two types of alopecia: scarring and non-scarring. What do you look for?

While all the above options can help with the ultimate diagnosis, it's the preservation of follicular ostia (or loss of said finding) that helps point you in the right direction. Whether it's scarring or non-scarring can really help narrow your differential.
