finished watching Novocaine 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Are #CIPA movies a thing? I learned it existed thanks to an episode of House (I owe that show most of my medical "knowledge") Years later I watched that little movie where the protagonist is an assassin insensitive to pain, The Midnight Man (2016) https://neodb.social/movie/0VkEK52ooUYWCGksk08HyL Now there's Novocaine too, that I know of. CIPA keeps coming up on my screen without me having ever looked for it.

I'm wondering if these shows help by raising awareness of a rare disorder, I did read a couple of articles after I watched House, so it kind of worked for me, I'm aware. Maybe some public interest could even get studies funded... or maybe this kind of thing (not talking about Novocaine in particular) is just a bit exploitative and doesn't help any patients at all.

Opinions welcome.

Ion Channel Dysfunction During Critical Illness

This video is from 2013, so perhaps a bit out of date and not news to anyone but me.

Makes me wonder about functional neurological disorder.

I'm also reminded of 'the Ambien effect':

Sensorimotor #polyneuropathy may be common in treated autoimmune thyroiditis, but, unlike in other causes of #neuropathy (e. g. #diabetes), it has a unique pattern in quantitative sensory testing (#QST) with low thresholds for mechanical and thermal pain.

I’m on prescribed #drugs. Multiple.

But right now an unprescribed drug is kicking in. Hard.

Just the right combination for my trippin' 🧠 state.
