It seems so, next to nothing left now to 2008. Then not easy when you try top any up private either. Most private just seem to want live in care. It's holding my neurosurgeries up by 2 yrs now :( unpaid carers joys 🙄 🫤

It’s wild for anyone to challenge my using “lifesaving” to describe neurosurgeries I was approved to get, when for years I have shared my *life-endangering and very disabling symptoms and tests results* that *qualified me for surgery* to the public for education and awareness 🧵

He’s not. I and several other patients, clinicians and others have examined these cases. There are good reasons why many cases weren’t successful. One patient expected neurosurgery to cure POTS. Another, neurogenic bladder. Neurosurgeries aren’t for those conditions, nor are they cures.

Alan Levinovitz implied these are neurosurgeries for EDS, long Covid and MECFS even after myself and others told him this is incorrect, these are conditions that impact/are impacted by *brain and spine conditions* which is what the neurosurgeries treat

The longer patients develop and struggle with secondary issues to the brain/spine diagnoses, many of us have to accept that those secondary conditions will likely exist following neurosurgeries. There’s a good chance we need primary treatment for secondary conditions after surgery.

I’ve seen patients expect neurosurgeries to cure dysautonomia or neurogenic bladder or other secondary impacts, which is just not how any surgery works. I’ve seen folks not read clinical notes to see all their diagnoses, conflate one DX with another, say a test/surgery for X is for Y when it’s not.

Just the fact that he called these neurosurgeries “for EDS/MECFS” when neurosurgeries are not direct treatments for either, and only direct treatments for neurosurgical conditions themselves that occur in these patient populations —

You are welcome to make your own choices. What is not OK is for people to misrepresent patient cases, call these neurosurgeries “dangerous” and slander neurosurgeons as “exploitative” to stigmatize patient who need this care and clinicians from providing it.

Meanwhile, this fucking ghoul, skeptical about necessary neurosurgeries for a severely underserved patient population being a "miracle," wants me to do nothing more than cure my visibly fucked up, jangly bones with nothing more than the power of magical thinking that I can pay him for. Get fucked!

Alan just indicated on Twitter that he is critical of EDS/MECFS patients who may need to get neurosurgeries, so be aware
He is calling neurosurgeons who provide surgeries exploitative and labeling the surgeries as dangerous
He has not engaged with any expert sources on this stuff either

脳外科手術、なんと12回を乗り越えた後の傷跡がこちら👀
パッと見てどう思う？正直、言葉が出てこないくらいすごい。これだけの手術を何度も経験して、それでも今ここにいるってこと自体が奇跡じゃない？
傷跡ってよく「弱さの象徴」みたいに思われがちだけど、これはどう見ても「生き抜いてきた証」だよね。めちゃくちゃリスペクト🙏✨

Emily Johnson's neurologic and neuromuscular symptoms are getting worse. At times, @emilyrj.bsky.social is barely able to communicate.
In year 4 of interstate travel for multiple neurosurgeries, her goal is staying alive and getting out of palliative care.
If you can help, it would mean a lot. 🙏🏼

Emily Johnson is such a smart and interesting person. But, she has been felled by severe chronic illness. Next week she'll consult with NYC neurosurgeons hoping to find ways to treat her scary symptoms.
Travel expenses for Emily and a caregiver are very high. Anything you can give would be a boon.

A5. Many years ago I was fortunate enough to share time with a young aspiring Zoo Keeper while we waited for our respective neurosurgeries. His was a terminal brain tumour but he simply talked to me about his dream job and never complained. He taught me so much about having life goals. #DigiBlogChat

I’ve been in Palliative Care for 7 years, getting neurosurgeries for 3, and every hospital visit has staff (many with Covid symptoms) not masking and spreading infections to patients (some of whom were clearly admitted with severe pulmonary and vascular issues, so masks shouldn’t been required)
