@MAKS23 I'm waiting for years for this to happen, but the progress by the @EUCommission's #EPI (which I welcome very much) seems slow and incomplete.

Would love those efforts to gain some speed and features, while providing EU-style privacy guarantees in contrast to the all-mighty US duopoly of MasterCard/Visa and all the payment providers around them!

Dans le #numérique, les Héros sont souvent d'autres que ceux qui font la une... Je viens d'apprendre la triste nouvelle de la mort de mon ami Jean-Pierre Archambault. Il a été l'un des combattants du Libre dans l'éducation, car oui, à un moment, ça a été un combat, et nous y avons laissé des plumes. MERCI pour ce que tu as fait Jean-Pierre, continuons au mieux l’œuvre que tu as entreprise. Ton ami, jy #Archambault #ITIC #EPI #SIF

I wonder if all these #radiocommercials I'm hearing for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) are related to #SARScov2. I seem to recall #pancreas damage being one of the particularly pesky features of #sequelae (viral persistence), in at least some people.

I remember thinking this was chilling for relying on repurposed HIV drugs for treatment, because they rely on the pancreas to break them down. Like, assuming Long COVID treatment in the US and global West starts getting more attention.

Is anyone else hearing these #EPI commercials too? Clearly I'm obsessed, but it's... suspicious. Tests for EPI were fairly uncommon in lab, relied on examining a piece of poo for diagnosis. The positives always looked really freakish.

Influencer Dominique Brown Dies of Food Allergy at 34

Anaphylaxis needs to be taken much more seriously than it is.

Epi is great - but it’s only buying you time. Biphasic reactions can be lethal.

Also - especially if you have MCAS - make sure to learn the various ways anaphylaxis can present.

It doesn’t always involve the airway.

This was (in my opinion) a preventable death. It was an egregious disregard for Dominique’s life to suggest she take photos before going to get medical care.

Even “if” you think your reaction isn’t progressing quickly - it could change in an instant.

You should never delay medical attention

If you’re new to anaphylaxis and/or new to MCAS - I highly recommend learning the various ways it can impact your body.

I didn’t realize I was having anaphylaxis the first time it happened to me. I thought it was the flu.

I had diarrhea & vomiting, sore throat, fever and bone pain.

I finally went to ER after three days of suffering not because I suspected anaphylaxis - but because my throat was so sore I couldn’t keep fluids down.

The triage nurse took one look in my airway, stabbed me with an epi pen and whisked me into a code room.

My “sore throat” was actually swelling

My vomiting and diarrhea was classic GI anaphylaxis - and I was also having significant cardiac symptoms.

Thankfully I got medical care in time - and the team who treated me explained what to look for in the future.

Many of us think of wheezing, hives, hoarseness and throat closure when we picture an anaphylactic reaction.

In reality - it can spare the airway AND the skin. It can impact your gut, your heart and your reproductive organs.

In fact - my doctors can actually tell when I’m going into anaphylaxis by the changes in my EKG (highly recommend reading about Kounis Syndrome if your MCAS causes cardiac issues)

When it comes to anaphylaxis - treat early & get to hospital. Make sure you always have an epi pen (or two) with you and check regularly to make sure they haven’t expired.

If you’re unsure if you’re in anaphylaxis - go to ER to be certain.

Had I waited much longer my throat would have closed

Lastly - take people’s allergies seriously. In MCAS we don’t always know what the trigger will be - but when people do know what they’re allergic to - we need to be cautious and ensure they aren’t exposed

If we took allergies more seriously - Dominique would still be with us

@netzpolitik_feed @zarasophos
Ich hoffe sehr, dass sich eine Art #Giropay zeitnah weit verbreitet, von mir aus gerne auch europäisch durch die #EPI und unter dem Namen #wero.
Bei der langen Liste an verarbeiteten und verkauften Daten durch aktuelle #Zahlungsdienstleister ist das dringend nötig!
Frustrierend und aufwändig, dass man sich im Zusammenleben mit den meisten anderen Menschen immer den "bösen" Lösungen, wie #Whatsapp und #Paypal erwähren muss.
