Gov. Hochul has the ability to pass the NY Health Act, which would guarantee healthcare for everyone in NY.

We have the votes to pass it in the state legislature, but Gov. Hochul refuses to endorse.

Any rhetoric on healthcare, is meaningless.

You have the power to fix this.

Republicans keep saying the “genuinely disabled” don’t have to worry about losing Medicaid.

All disabilities are genuine.

You also need healthcare to get a diagnosis. To get the paperwork done. To “prove it”.

They’re ensuring people get trapped in red tape loopholes so they can’t get care.

Omg you’re totally right, iron total range should be 40-190

The doctor (an endocrinologist) is actually the one who put me on Ferrocite 106mg tablet to boost Ferritin (was 11 three mo ago, now 30).

They didnt mention high iron last week when they saw these results, but I’ll ask them about heavy metals.

Could this be autonomic?
I have other symptoms of dysautonomia as well.

Thinking about switching to Lactoferrin from Ferrocite 106mg tablet — thoughts?

(My first dysautonomia specialist visit is in July.)
Thank you in advance!

Jaime, do you happen to know what this indicates?

Iron, total 165 [ref 40-90 mcg/dL]
Iron binding capacity 363 [250-450 mcg/dL]
% Saturation 45 [16-45%]
Ferritin 30 [16-154 ng/mL]

^After starting Ferrocite 106mg tablet 3 mo ago [all #s lower before but IBC which ⬇️ this time, ferritin was 11].

I literally have a note from my pulmonologist to say that I cannot risk another respiratory infection and must be allowed to keep my mask on at all group functions at work. I feel like this pressure is getting worse both formally and informally.

CDC National Wastewater Surveillance System map as of August 10 shows most US states in the “very high” range and all remaining states with data in the “high” or “moderate” range.

Screenshot of two images: A 2021 CNBC article quotes Dr Fauci stating, “Dr. Fauci says U.S. Covid cases need to fall below 10,000 a day to get to a 'degree of normality'.” The phrase “below 10,000” is underlined in red and an arrow points up to the second image’s last data point. The second image is a graph that estimates daily covid infection numbers based on the CDC wastewater levels. As of July 31, 2024, the estimate is over 1M per day.

Current COVID surge: 1M cases/day. Act now:

1) Ask Congress for free vax: tinyurl.com/MoreVax

2) Donate to mutual aid or get free n95s: covidactionmap.org

3) Phone bank to stop mask bans tinyurl.com/MaskBank

4) Share the COVID+ Plan doc so folks know what to do when sick: tinyurl.com/SickPlan
