IMO, it shows some issues with our diagnostic criteria that 4.5% of post-COVID pts met ME/CFS criteria, yet 29% had PEM: post-exertional malaise, the pathognomonic symptom of #MECFS.

It's amazing, complete lack of insight. Pathognomonic!

I see he's saying he's had physicians administer three separate dementia screeners. This is not the flex he thinks it is.

Repetitive hand motions such as tapping are pathognomonic for dementia-related psychosis.

Transphobia is pathognomonic for sociopathy.

We’re particularly proud of the diagrams featured in this paper, which include a review of common symptoms of #MECFS and of PEM, its pathognomonic symptom. (4/)

pathognomonic.

I’m seeing more and more people claiming to have PEM but not ME/CFS. Is there some new study or something I missed? Is it not pathognomonic?

"Pathognomonic"?

No, actually, I don’t want to explain to some random in my mentions that issues with object permanence and not being able to keep track of your shit are pathognomonic of ADHD actually… block incoming.

(For the blissfully unaware, "Ebbelwoi" refers to an intentionally heavily soured apple cider and "Mispelche" to an apple brandy topped with a pickled medlar or loquat. Both drinks are pathognomonic to the region I'm from.)

The shift from an overlong sentence that hits you with "pathognomonic" to "it bums me out" is hilarious

There's a word for the red migraine glasses: pathognomonic - "specifically characteristic or indicative of a particular disease or condition". It literally shows on my face now - invisible no more!

Cystine crystals (bright field, x400).

Their presence in #urinarysediment is pathognomonic for #cystinuria, the most common kidney stone disease with Mendelian genetics.

While perfectly specific, the sensitivity of cystine crystalluria is quite low.

Dutch ophthalmologist Jan van der Hoeve coined the term "phakoma" in 1923 after the Greek phakos for ""lentil,"" as he observed multiple "mother spots" and round birthmarks on patients with tuberous sclerosis. Retinal phakoma are considered pathognomonic for the disease.

Every time I have scintillating scotoma I think about how wild it is that there is a pathognomonic visual disturbance. Like other people getting the exact same weird thing in their vision seems so strange. Brains are amazing.
