Green light therapy - room with green light helps with pain!
Funny lines here
While walking in the countryside,
My knee felt better, I began to stride
Green light's the key to my inner peace
It must be that cannabinoid release
Where do you act to reduce my pain?

Little disturbing to see the data that most patients using cannabis dont know what exact product they are using. Also not most is not prescribed/ illegal!
Lots to learn and may have potential but need to be careful!

I have seen these cases - mortality is high if not recognized and treated promptly. Don’t wait for ADAMSTS13 to result before initiating treatment! @RheumNow https://t.co/fL70AGNY1D

@drbags71 @RheumNow Too often we don't leave women of childbearing age with a plan, if they do get pregnant. And we need to help them get ready, for whatever they want, so we can avoid bad outcomes - and all the consequences of that.

The message about scleroderma we need to keep on saying to those outside of rheumatology:
you can get severe organ involvement in both limited & diffuse SSc
survival is dictated by organ involvement
screening is needed regardless!
