@rubin_allergy: One of the causes of lupus may have been discovered. #lupus #tiktokdoc #LearnOnTikTok

🌵Nicole🏔️ :

I feel like ebv is behind a lot.

Not nice :

Why do women, especially women of color get lupus?

Penn :

Why it always Epstein

Becky Kennedy :

My mom died two years ago from complications of lupus. Her final wish was to donate her body to science for research. She would have been heartened by this research.

Millenial_Crochet :

I’m convinced that viruses are the cause of all autoimmune conditions.

BLx3V :

I have MS and every step closer to finding out what causes autoimmune diseases is huge for our community 😭

🧿🌙🌕BluesBlonde⭐️✨🧿 :

The autoimmune girlies have been saying this for years.

Danielle Schuyler :

Did someone say lupus?

Natasha Valdez :

Severe trauma or prolonged sickness without proper treatment is known to snowball into bigger issues like autoimmune

Kim Baehman :

Epstein Barr has been correlated with MS too now! (I had horrible mono in college then diagnosed with MS in my early 30’s.)

Caroline decker 🐞 :

Autoimmune disease and virology are intrinsically related

Gigito1 :

I had a horrible case of mono in middle school. I missed 2 months of school. At 24, I was diagnosed with Lupus and have had tons of complications from it.

RaspberryBuffet :

Caught mono at 16 and I’ve never been the same. Now in my 40s w/multiple autoimmune issues; plus Covid made everything worse x100

Sally Greene-Ennes :

It’s about time scientists started taking EBV seriously! Those of us who have autoimmune disease have known about the trigger of EBV and autoimmune disease for many years, but it was dissed by the mainstream medical community. bThank you for having an open mind and sharing these things as soon as they hit the news. Chronically ill patients need physicians like you advocating for us.

human arms kirby :

Lupus AND MS? i guess ebv is just virus single mom who works two jobs

Nurse Tough Love :

My rheumatologist told me this a few years ago. I wonder if she was just going based on what she’s seen in practice if this is new research. But, yes. I had mono while my mom was dying. It was a lot! 😩

decadentduck :

not the Epstein files we were looking for

Dawnna :

EBV is linked to SO many things, this isn’t surprising at all. *EBV, lupus + so many other things girlie here*

Pandarage19 :

I feel like suddenly getting food allergies and sensitivities is a warning that your immune system is on the attack!

Natalie S :

I’ve head ebv might be the root of hasimotos / thyroid problems too

spencer (ghost's version) :

Bmarte :

What doctor should I go to for my EBV? Nobody seems to care.

Melanie :

Ok, now let’s figure out Hashimoto’s 😭

nappingknight :

Go figure Epstein will be involved 😂 That information was probably in the files but they don't want to release them

Shmingee :

Didn’t we already know EBV causes autoimmune diseases?
