Gadolinium 101
Thread by @marygerdt: Sorry to crash your party Gad ain’t that great Why did you think you needed it for MRA/MRI anyway? So a neurologist coua clearer picture of what? Something so big you can see it on the outside? (Like stroke)? Does that poor dialysis… https://t.co/v26umV0CNE— Mary Gerdt (@marygerdt) January 29, 2020

Conflict of Interest?
Will @NIHDirector ask @radiology_rsna to retract their highly corrupt #Gadolinium Research Roadmap? Should authors paid by MRI contrast makers be setting the standards to prove/disprove if gadolinium is causing harm?— Mollie B (@HrsQuiet) January 26, 2020

Every man. We’re all flawed.
Brilliant confusing, confounding.

#Gadolinium Research Plain and Unbiased
Please do what you can to raise awareness about Gadolinium and contributing to research. Gadolinium is a Rare Earth mined mostly in China. It’s used as a radiological MRI image enhancer, Routinely. It also passes through the urinary tract of humans getting injected (after their bodies soak up a little, spun up by magnet 🧲 ↔️ 🧲 ). The. Wastewater created in the MRI patient dressing room bathroom drains to the treatment plant that neither measures Gadolinium nor gets rid of it.
Therefore, Even if you don’t think it’s a problem,
we do,
the victims of
Gadolinium

Lighting the Way
The Light came through the pain 🔥 #Gadolinium
Journal Entry. Gadolinium Diaries. 1.8.20.
Just called another attorney. They’re all scum. They don’t want to go to court and lose. They wouldn’t. They don’t believe me and Doctors don’t believe me. I’m done with them and continuing shining the Light on this hideous metal. Taking 2 ultra Tums once a day. Now aiming for bedtime or nighttime. The hard glass like pieces get softer, more pliable and I can pluck out chunks. Best Wishes to You and Yours, the other victims. 🚫 Gad

Smoldering
Another stellar thought provoking article...
https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org/2020/01/premature-ageing/?unapproved=71575&moderation-hash=69722e58a44945793ceaa120a9decee0#comment-71575
My comments: Aren’t signs of Premature aging a Symptom of Multiple Sclerosis? Is that what you’re saying? Is this a chicken or egg argument? Maybe Aging is the term that also stumped your “old” (tsk, tsk) colleague. As a nurse I worked with people in their 80’s, 90’s, or 100. Some Seemed as old as I expected. Stooped over, creaky, deteriorated, sick, weak. Some were spry and lively, moving without pain, active, memory sharp. Either category, dying or spry, might have completely lost their memory. I keep comparing myself to other 60 somethings. I can’t work anymore, can barely get around a store. Fatigue, weakness. MRI unchanged in 10 +years. Now B/p up, type 2 diabetes, more pain of arthritis. Always obesity which I know Doctors want me to change. Years of smoking. New insomnia. Pain that wears me out. So bad I get nauseated. My theory about the repeated gadolinium injections you might not believe. My Dad lived into his 90’s. He was pretty functional but mentally miserable with his body that wouldn’t die. He didn’t like the confinement of Being in an assisted living facility. Especially after Mom died. He always told Mom, Walk more, you’ll get better. Then he would tell me the same thing. Like my Mom, I couldn’t, I cannot walk more. I do the best I can. As a nurse I walked a lot. Weekends we cut and loaded our firewood, did chores. I was active and still obese. Flat feet so restrictive. Painful arthritis. Fatigue. My friends in their 80’s work their farm, travel, run, Very Active. We are all so unique. Lifestyle changes are so difficult to accomplish. This disease so painful. I will follow your thoughts and consider your advice. I have lost a few pounds, working with my PCP and getting B/P, glucose under control. I walk when I can, Reduced carb intake, especially empty processed sugars. At 61 I feel Old. Am I smoldering? When I have all these spots in my brain and cord, is it any wonder I can think at all? When a fire smolders, sometimes a part starts burning again. It looked almost dead. When you look at our MRI’s are they Really the Same Lesions? Or are they dying embers, sometimes burning under the ashes. You certainly are making me think. I hope your elder colleague doesn’t stay stuck. We should be open to all ideas about MS and comorbitities. Feeling my age this morning.
