She’s so valuable for the human race!! I’m proud of her and of all Greek scientists. We keep bringing up improvements in so valuable sciences for the human race. So instead of being used and abused by some superpowers in Europe and overseas, maybe is better for the world to give more chances to Greece, empowering it to give more chances to our scientists, offering them the necessary resources. We can move science faster in the future. Not a coincidence that all medical sciences have held Greek names since their creation. “Microbiology” (Microviologia in Greek), Gynecology (Gynecologia in Greek, when gyneca means woman in Greek). I’m so happy to see this kind of improvement. Congratulations Dr. Greka. Thank you for your service to humanity.

I’m not a nationalist. This was just a statement of a reality that as it seems you don’t know. Greek scientists keep offering great results in their science but they have no chance to enter any scientific program within Greece, but only if they are living and working abroad and this is sad. @konntra feel

These rarest illnesses will continue to decimate the entire human population if not prevented quickly. We must take active steps somehow before it’s too late.

I am studying for my human genetics exam, and I find it a mind blowing field.
It’s something so complicated, yet so interesting and eye opening, it looks like magic.
This knowledge can help us understand so much about human race, and life on earth in general.
Absolutely thrilling.
I have the utmost respect for scientists and everyone involved in genetic research.

There are illnesses that are common, profoundly disabling and that cause much suffering, not understood and yet the medical system pretty much ignores them and invests little resources in studying them. ME/CFS is one example. It seems easier to get a physician to accept the legitimacy of a rare illness with clear and unique physical signs and symptoms than it is to get them to take seriously the burden of ME/CFS.

You are absolutely correct. However, long covid is provoking a lot of study, and it seems to have a lot of similarities to ME/CFS. I’m REALLY hoping that, like this scientist said, people will be able to use stuff learned from studies of long covid to finally get some answers on ME/CFS, and other illnesses like fibromyalgia (which I suffer from).
I’m sure it was simplified for a general audience, but I was stunned recently by a podcast from The Atlantic that said that doctors know FULL WELL what the mechanisms of chronic fatigue are… and they know it’s completely legitimate… but they’re still treating it wrong! The author proposed that it’s primarily a cultural issue. They placed some blame on prevalent outdated ideas like forcing people to exercise; even though science now says that ME/CFS patients should NOT be pushed, doctors are still stuck in their old ways, especially because a lot of issues CAN be blamed on deconditioning, so it’s hard to get through their heads that you have to treat this illness differently. There’s also the general American obsession with productivity, plus, worst of all, the fact that doctors are forced to work 80-120 hour weeks while in residency, and they learn to push through exhaustion… so they near universally get this idea of, “Well, ANYONE can push through fatigue if they just try.” It’s SUCH a damaging attitude, especially from the people we’re supposed to be able to trust with our health.

@safaiaryuNo, doctors have NO CLUE what causes CFS or how to treat it; hence, the belief that exercise will help.

Thank you. I’m a survivor of a rare genetic disease that killed who knows how many infants in my dad’s family. In fact, I’m the first girl in six generations to have survived, due to progressions in genetic testing and lifesaving medical treatments. My dad didn’t even know that he had two sisters, one stillborn and one who died at six months. His parents hid this from him. When my mom started saying about me, “Something is wrong,” and started digging into his family’s history, his mom (my grandma) never forgave her. But my mom’s curiosity and instincts and tenacity found the answers and saved my life.
I Google my disease regularly and I love seeing more and more research pop up about it. I recently discovered, like this speaker says, that there are websites where patients with rare diseases can talk, take surveys, and find medical and scientific studies about their illnesses. The age of the internet is wonderful and combining internet searches, instant communication, and the curiosity of scientists, we will save many more lives. ❤

I’m a 34 year old male with mosaic loss of the chromosome and all the doctors I’ve gone to before learning this couldn’t figure out some of my symptoms so most of them made me feel like I’m probably being a hypochondriac that needs to eat better and get more active… in spite of the huge red plaques all over my legs and the swelling of my ankles. The last doctor I saw gave me a referral for a psychotherapist (which I happen to already have and have been seeing for general mental well being for years) and she recommended I hit the gym more often. I haven’t seen a doctor since even if I don’t feel well. I think maybe if I had private healthcare or could pay a more expensive doctor I’d be taken more seriously, but I can’t be sure… I also have a deletion in my dna that puts me at much higher risk for certain cancers.
