An intetesting peculiarity of living in #SocialHousing is that we are explicitly banned from having window-based #AC in our units. While I live in #Alberta, my understanding is that this ban is found throughout social housing #leases in #Canada. Granted, the writing style and language choices strongly suggest such leases were drafted in the early 1970s at the latest, and back then I would have easily agreed that #AirConditioning would not be necessary. However, 50-some years on, the heat is routinely a bajillion (estimated 😛) degrees higher and #disabled folks and others in social housing are BANNED* from installing what is literally life-saving equipment under the 'new normal' of our #FireSeason summers. *TBC: portable AC units are not explicitly banned (not commercially-available yet when the leases were written??? 🤔) but these have limited range and are usually energy-inefficient compared to modern AC window units 6/x #health #safety #medical #medications #disability #poverty

If the only thing you know about people with #HoardingDisorder is something from #RealityTV, I strongly encourage you to learn the actual reality. I'm no expert on the #diagnostic side but my understanding of the condition and it's history in the relevant #medical #literature is that hoarding was once considered a manifestation(?) of #OCD, but over the years experts noted a key distinguishing factor for hoarding vs OCD in particular: When people with OCD are engaging in a repetitive behaviour (eg: excessive handwashing) they feel terrible about it. They want desperately to stop *in the moment* but cannot do so. People with hoarding disorder, OTOH, feel good, perhaps even fabulous, in the moment(s) of acquiring new things. The bad feeling only comes after and/or when trying to de-accumulate. And a full-abstinence, AA-type approach cannot work, as people NEED to aquire things to survive: groceries don't buy themselves, after all! 😐 14/x #differentiation #difference #characteristic

Bart De Strooper presented at the Copenhagen AD/PD-conference an excellent sketch of the three main inflection points in the pathophysiological evolution of Alzheimer's disease, https://www.alzforum.org/news/conference-coverage/big-picture-three-inflection-points-mark-amyloid-cascade My own transition from amyloid plagues to p-tau and tangles was retarded by a four years' anti-amyloid therapy in a clinical reaearch project during 2017-22 (aducanumab). Sadly, the most probable explanation for my rapidly worsening cognitive problems may indeed be the tau-tangles, which I somehow avoided earlier. I know there are experimental therapies around somewhere for those gremlins too, but sadly not within my own reach. With respect to my AD, I'm afraid, it's "too late, my friend". I encourage anybody with a slowly lethal disease to keep mentally in touch with it as long as you can. That's what we human beings were made for. 🤗 #alzheimer #ad #at #disease #medical #amyloid #tau #lethal #sairaus #alzForum #realism #humanity #reflection #thinking #dying #terminallyill #metacognition #tietoisuus #consciousness

RANT: Started using the new ENFit feeding tube bags and accessories. ENFit was an industry-wide change to "fix" a problem that didn't exist. I put it off as long as I could. Feeding tubes have been around since the 1800s, pretty much unchanged. There wasn't a problem "mixing up" feeding tubes with intravenous IVs. I shouldn't have to have to use a wrench to use my feeding tube or its accessories, like medication syringes. I shouldn't have to use an ENfit cleaning kit because stomach contents (puke) now reside in the connections after using them because you can't flush the cavity. #Medical #MedMastodon #enshittification #Enteral #Nursing #FeedingTube I shouldn't have to spend a hundred dollars to buy various adapters to use my stocked up medical supplies or spend thousands to buy new ENFit supplies. Of course, nothing is being produced "generically" now. It's all proprietary and shared by the few large mega-medical supply manufacturers through a trade organization they formed just for enteral (feeding tubes) care called the Global Engineered Device Supplier Association After 14 years with my feeding tube, ENfit has now taken away my #accessibility to use my feeding tube and self-administer some of my medical care. The ENFit transition is a global patient safety initiative to standardize enteral feeding tube connectors, replacing old "legacy" connectors with a new, twisting design to prevent misconnections with IV lines. https://stayconnected.org/enfit/
