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

To finish the #ACR23 Review Course, one of my favourites:

Complex interactions both ways. Isn't the immune system amazing?

Pregnancy is complicated for women with rheumatic diseases.
There's a pathway to healthy mothers & babies, but it takes:
- planning
- the right meds
- the right disease control.

@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.

Need to point out limitations of QSTs too! Need trained researchers. Need some sort of quantification to help.
Mechanism specific pain management is the goal!

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!

Women are more sensitive to pain!
Disconnect between the clinical problem and rat studies which are predominantly male!
Sex as a biological variable! Policies change behavior! Now data is more balanced!

Chronic pain affects mortality!! Men with more pain sites (which correlates with numerical pain too) had higher early mortality compared to women- study in a large UK sample. @rheumnow #ACR23
