I'm an immunologist who is trying to understand why not everyone recovers from an infection, and why the infection-associated chronic illnesses skew female. I run a lab @mitdeptofbe.bsky.social, the clinical study MIT MAESTRO, and am building a mouse model of #chronicLyme. Will pin threads here.

How do controversial ideas become accepted in medical research and medicine?
T-suppressor cells were "debunked" and then rebranded as #Tregs.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome now ME w/ #ChronicLyme to #IACI following #LongCOVID.

He's hopeful that it's possible to apply CAR T therapies that will have fewer side effects/less risk through phenotyping. He doesn't think it's relevant to all #MECFS or all #PTLD / #chronicLyme.

Fuck #MEcfs (and #LongCovid, #ChronicLyme et al). The world is spiralling down the toilet and it needs voices of fierce compassion and, crucially, scrutiny and fact checking. And I can do precisely fuck all but survive this disease to keep a roof over my head.

For context this is a care guide centered on multiple conditions including #POTS #ChronicLyme as well as #MECFS and #LongCovid
For some exercise will help.
If you have ME like me, it’s a no go. Even though I know my dysautonomia could improve, it will cost me my baseline.
