How to cope when the whole family is down with #COVID19
Lessons I learned the hard way with 5 family members positive (including my baby) 🧵1/
1/It's very infectious - Try to isolate ASAP when the 1st member gets symptoms.
A separate toilet is mandatory. Keep utensils separate.
Try to shift the elderly to another place. Our parents got infected after D 5 as we were in overcrowded Mumbai house.
2/ Kids can get very fatigued - ensure hydration and nutrition - putting an IV line for this made a big difference (only when she was not feeding at all). Also, because I was too sick myself (despite trying my best I couldn't get her to eat)
.@BradRovin speaking on the evolution of #lupus therapy over the years in @isn_india Masterclass
The main change which has happened is to decrease steroids.
Probably 1 gm of MPS is enough to begin treatment in #lupus
Discussing the data on minimizing steroids @BradRovin shows data by @kidneydoc101 which formed the basis of RITUXILUP
Are we going towards NO steroids for #lupus ?
