I'm a bit nervous. My daughter and I are traveling to NYC Saturday for a week and it's the first time I am outwardly using assistive devices like my cane and I just bought a walker. I am really hoping it goes well. I don't get a lot of exercise and I also have a desk job.

About to get on a plane for the first time in years and the first time since my diagnosis, I used to love flying but now I’m very anxious and want to just stay home. Too many uncertainties.

Travel with MS

How do you navigate travel during treatment when your immune system is reduced? Specially air travel to larger city’s like New York, London or Paris with lots of people and infection risks? Always with 95 mask?

Bacteria in the gut have been implicated in autoimmune diseases, like lupus, that don't primarily affect the gastrointestinal system. But how those bacteria affect the human immune system remains unclear.In a new study, Yale researchers show how a gut bacterium called Enterococcus gallinarum can travel outside of the gastrointestinal system and trigger an autoimmune response.

These bacteria, known collectively as the body's microbiome, play major roles in shaping human health. But sometimes bacteria native to the human microbiome can, under certain conditions, become harmful; these are called pathobionts.E. gallinarum, a pathobiont found in the
