Ehler's Danlos Syndrome... PLEASE. Please talk about it. It's a previously considered rare disease that's actually common and often misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed and poorly understood. Lots of people with fibro actually have it. Many doctors think it's a circus disease that just makes you bendy and stretchy skinned but it's so much more than that. It's often disabling and tends to include every comorbidity under the sun because of how collagen underlies every body system. Some types are usually pretty painful and can put you in and out of the hospital your whole life, while others with the genetic disposition for the clinical diagnosis live completely normal and painless lives, so it has an incredibly wide spectrum of possible damage. It's SO important that this is discussed by media with large followings, we need to help those lacking answers and raise money to do research into genetic markers, and treatment plans because we currently have no set treatment or even a solid guide or help from doctors. They often give us a dx and send us off without any clue how to help us. It's slowly gaining attention in the medical field and doctors are catching up to the new criteria, but we need to educate ourselves and know it exists so we can advocate.

I hear you sister. I do not have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, but a decent chunk of people in my Syringomyelia support group have it in addition to their SM.

I had a rare disease - very rare. At the time, I was one of 5 diagnosed cases on the planet. My epidemiologist was convinced there was major underdiagnosis and set about using my case to develop new diagnostics. Today there are about 100,000 diagnosed cases. In my particular case, the weirdness of my situation allowed for developing new diagnostic tools, as well as giving insight into the infection mechanisms of the disease. So... yeah.

It's interesting to discover what NPCs benefit is :) Thank you, SciShow

Update on Bisphosphonate treatment -- Unfortunately osteoclasts and osteoblasts have complimentary roles in bone maintenance. When bisposphonate inhibits the bone osteoclasts from their dissolving and restructuring role while the osteoblasts continue their bone formation function it is the equivalent of resurfacing a road without the preparatory step of grinding out the cracks and stabilizing the substructure of the road bed, where needed, before the new top coat. This in practice then actually causes more bone fractures and fragility. The bone density appears to be increased, but the occurrence of catastrophic fracturing is higher than in untreated osteoporosis patients.
@TheRealMythril6 жыл бұрын
These advancements are amazing, but I take the opportunity to remind people that although they are good options they are not easy for the patients. Bisphosphonates do wonderful things but have absolutely terrible side effects including severe gastric bleeding and not being able to eat or drink , nor lie down for hours either side of taking them. They can also cause horrific bone pain.

It should be mentioned that the first thing on the list didn't have the intended positive benefit. The problem caused by osteoporosis is that your bones become weaker, more likely to break, as a result of the larger air pockets in them. Drugs like Osteobiflex fulfill the symptom of light bones by stopping the osteoclasts and making them denser, but that doesn't lead to healthier bones, nor make the bones less likely to suffer a fracture or break. Osteoclasts are important members of your team, along with the osteoblasts that build the bone. Simply preventing them from doing their job is like building a house and, instead of leveling out the ground through excavation to reveal the compacted earth that's good for building on, you just start building right on the top soil. And building and building, only adding, never subtracting, and it becomes like this awful game of stacking stones. Still cool that they found something out from the rare disease though, and hopefully they can put it to better use in the future. (Thumbs up for video)

Fascinating as always. Chronic Illnesses & diseases are a personal interest of mine, partially because they're intriguing, but primarily 'cause I have the neurological disease Fibromyalgia. It's not a rare condition, with it affecting approximately one in every twenty people (in western countries), or about 5-7% of the population. Despite this, it hasn't had a great deal of funding being put into research, with the majority of studies concerning it being pilot studies using very small groups of people. It's etiology has remained elusive, though in recent years it has been clarified to be a both a neurological & neuroendocrine disease (it was previously considered a rheumatoid condition due the heightened presence of several pro-inflammatory cytokines), through improved fMRI techniques. That it overlaps multiple medical disciplines has proved to be a hindrance to both scientific research & clinical treatment - though treatments like Lyrica/Ketamine for the Neuropathic Pain, Cymbalta for the "Fibro-fog", Naproxen for the inflammation & hormone treatments for the HPA Axis dysfunctions have certainly reduced the symptoms, and increased the quality-of-life for sufferers. Definitive research into the specific genes that cause Fibromyalgia have been sadly lacking (it's been known that it is a hereditary condition since at least the 1990s - especially in people with Mediterranean ancestry). With it occurring in such a significant percentage of the population, there is the implication (thanks to evolutionary genetics) that the mutation causing it has improved the survivability of people in the distant past. Why it would cause such a myriad of terrible symptoms in people living today is a puzzle - one that perhaps would also lead to advances in research that could benefit people with other illnesses, like those you mention in this video.

LulitaInPita there isn't much new information on fibromyalgia. Interestingly there is one new hypothesis regarding the nerves in your vascular system that tell vessels to contract or relax letting blood flow more or less freely into arms, legs and such acting like nociceptors (pain receptors.) Too when they shouldn't. This could explain why sufferers are more sore and sensitive to pain than healthy individuals and why swelling (a reaction to perceived injury.) Can Accur. This hasn't been studied thoroughly yet and confirmed but it's the most interesting development I have heard on the subject of fibromyalgia in along while. For now though it is still classed as cryptogenic meaning they aren't sure of it's origins and cause. I'd like to also see them cover things like this as a category if they haven't already.

Do a video on Fibromyalgia and common co-conditions/diseases that occur with Fibro? Took me 14 years to finally get my Fibromyalgia diagnosed and not just get brushed off as "a woman who exaggerates her pain." I also have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) and Allodynia as co-conditions with my Fibro. Which *also* took many years to finally get diagnosed. Now I can finally start to find therapies, dietary changes, exercises, and meds to help me live a more functional lifestyle. The lack of support and research into Fibromyalgia and it's many co-conditions *needs* to be talked about. Especially considering how many people it affects, how disabling Fibromyalgia is, and how few medical doctors take Fibro patients seriously. It's a bloody epidemic to have the medical profession deliberately ignore people because reasons. Some of which are based in sexism.

About twenty-five years ago I knew a woman who had a baby with hypophosphatasia. It's so rare, and apparently comes from a recessive gene, that the doctors asked her if she was related to the father. She wasn't, that she knew of - though most of us don't even know our great grandparents. The sad thing was, at the time the oldest age a person had reached while living with the disease was about ten. They had to operate on him to increase the size of his skull because it didn't grow with his brain. I don't know what happened to her kid, since we didn't stay in touch, but to me that's a huge nightmare...knowing your kid likely only has a few years to live, and that you really get to know them a bit by then. Babies are pretty much strangers to us, whether we admit it or not, but a ten-year-old kid is someone we've spent a lot of time with. I'm truly grateful the only thing that ever happened to my daughter was a stay in the hospital for the flu as an infant, and an allergy to penicillin. Otherwise, she's healthy and in her thirties now. I don't think I would find the same to be true for my former acquaintance.

I’d love to see a video on rare diseases with neat backstories. Not necessarily ones that are helping find cures for other diseases, but more ones with other interesting stories to them. For example, I live with CRPS type II, a rare degenerative neurological disorder. Except it doesn’t attack the Central Nervous System directly. Nope, it likes to destroy the Sympathetic Nervous System, which is how the most common form of the disease (now known as CRPS type I) got its original name of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. CRPS type II, on the other hand, was actually the first form identified and it was originally known as Causalgia. And it’s the history of Causalgia where things get interesting. It was discovered during the American Civil War. Yet, despite its initial discovery and the craziness that followed (they tried to amputate effected limbs which failed miserably), there are still no approved treatments for it in the vast majority of countries. It’s cause is also very interesting. It’s triggered by some form of trauma to the body (the severity of the trauma involved draws the line between the two types). Type I, which accounts for 90% of patients, can be caused by something as minor as a stubbed toe and it’s onset can be delayed by up to several weeks. Yet when the disease finally starts, it starts instantly, straight into the deep end with excruciating, nearly intractable pain. A rather common story amongst patients is, “yeah, I broke a small bone and everything was fine. Then a few weeks later, I woke in the middle of the night, screaming in agony because the sheet was touching me.” Despite this overly dramatic onset, it still takes an average of 6 years to get diagnosed. Both forms of CRPS combined are rather rare, with 1 in 5,000 people thought to have them. (For reference, in the US, rare is fewer than 1 in 2,000 people.) But CRPSs claim to fame isn’t its scarcity. Rather, it’s the symptoms. It’s the most painful chronic illness known to science. On a 50pt scale, a broken bone is about a 20, severe spinal problems are a 30-40, cutting off half your foot with a lawnmower is a 41, and CRPS is a 43. It usually effects only 1 or 2 limbs, but it can spread to effect all extremities and some patients even have it in their abdomen, plus it can damage internal organs (usually the heart). Other common and interesting symptoms include changes in skin color to white, red, blue, or purple (I even turn polka dotted, which is super entertaining) often accompanied by changes in skin temperature, muscle spasms, muscle atrophy, involuntary movements, osteoporosis, edema, hyperalgesia, and severe allodynia. That’s on top of the pain of feeling like you’ve been dipped in gasoline and lit on fire, your bones being crushed with a pickaxe, and/or the feeling of being wrapped in barbed wire.

My mother had a simple surgery the other day, and while we were talking with the surgeon beforehand, he told her that after swabbing her nose, they had found out that she was a carrier of MRSA. He said that something like 20% of women are carriers. I had never heard that before. My son got it when he was about 16 months old, (a spider bite became infected) and was in hospital for a week, so Ive always been curious about it. Id love to see them do an episode all about MRSA. Edit: Forgot to add that the reason they now swab to see if youre a carrier is to make sure that the staff take certain precautions to not let it spread.

Mrsa is a hospital born infection caused by the long terme effects of American animal husbandry endemic in the west. The practice of routinely dosing livestock with antibiotics despite no infection being présent, also because people get given courses that are too short, 7-10days and 80% of people do not complete the course. These are the two factors that have mutated staphylococus aureola, (a natural symbiotic defense found around the mouth, nose, urethra and anus, as well as between your goes and fingers) , into the flesh eating bacteria we know today. In effect, it's a combination of various misuses of antibiotics : they are not to be used for prevention, the main culprits are the meat industry and doctors prescribing antibiotics for any little infection. Blaming the patient is a blind, the only place one picks up this infection is in hospitals. Manuka can help, but i'm not sure with your prosthetic, if it's internal, you'll need to have it removed, and the infection cleaned out before replacement. If you get another mrsa infection: sue the hospital, you definitely will have picked it up in the hospital. In the UK hospitals are required to quarantine suspected wards. This is a subject that drug compagnies, livestock compagnies and the médical establishment don't want the public to discuss. The next time a health profession al accuses you of being to blame for an mrsa infection, you might want to point out that infection is confined to hospital stays..

michel Guevara so be vegan. Change to smaller hospitals and more doctor visits. Use copper to kill bacteria. Make it less taboo to call in sick for a couple of weeks, instead of getting antibiotics right away.

You don't get to invent the light bulb from looking at a candle. By being too focused on a specific problem, it's easy to end up running in circles. Other horizons must be explored to find new ways to solve a problem.

I have my own weird, rare condition - HNPP. basically there is a certain protein that i cannot produce that means the myelin sheith around my nerves is easily damaged, resulting in damaged nerves which means the signals from my brain cannot get trhough, meaning muscles in the affected area simply don't work. there are different degrees of affectedness, and luckily for me i don't have it too bad. but i have read of people who, even if they are just lying down, this causes too much pressure on their nerves and it damages them, rendering many parts of their body effectively paralysed. i'm hoping that a more common disease can contribute to the treatment of my own, because with so few people affected (or who even know they are affected) worldwide, there is no economic interest in researching and treating my condition, so i hope to get some run=off benefits from more 'popular' diseases :/
