It's #skyrizi injection day.
I missed the morning appointment on my calendar and just happened to have a mental spark of "isn't that supposed to happen today?"

So I clearly need to do something better with my reminders/appointments/thingamajigs.

Anyway, it's out and coming to room temperature.

Still better than having to drive 2 hours for a 3 hour IV infusion, then 2 hours back (and after Benadryl!) like I was doing for Inflectra.

Aren't bodies fun?

Scientists at our university and LMU University Hospital Munich combine dietary therapy with fecal microbiome transfer to improve long-term treatment for #Crohns disease. By reshaping the #gutmicrobiome, they aim to sustain remission and reduce #inflammation: go.tum.de/395259

go.tum.deClinical study on new therapy for Crohn's diseaseResearchers from TUM and LMU are investigating a new therapy for Crohn's disease. This involves a "microbiome reboot" followed by a microbiome transfer.

Wow!
Linking a particular bacteria of the gut microbiome in a chain that could potentially be a source of major depression. Follow up research could also show how environmental contaminants combined with the metabolism of the gut microbiome could be linked to autoimmune and other conditions.

Science is amazing!
Can't wait to see where this drives other future research and, eventually, treatments.
