Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #rx, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I miss #RiteAid

    The longest my #adhd #rx was ever on back-order with them was...2 days?

    I'm now with #CVS and every other month it's anywhere from 1-10 days.

    The fact that different retail outlets have different supplies, really speaks to this being a #capitalism problem, not some supply chain/FDA regulation thing

  2. 🚀 Oh joy, yet another #JSON #alternative to clutter our lives! "RX" – because apparently, JSON wasn't obscure enough. 🎉 This #GitHub toy promises to revolutionize... boredom? 😴

  3. Thank the goddesses for my recent attempts at #music transcription and also for #adhd #rx

    My #constraintprogramming #radar #scheduling talk is in *gulp* two weeks. My rough draft is due FRIDAY.

    5 years ago, I spent a week in front of blank slides, sometimes in tears, unable to even conceive of a method by which I could start.

    Earlier this week, I did at least manage to gather a lot of content slides from other decks but as of this morning it was all just a jumble.

    This morning I took a two-pronged approach

    1. Clear the runway: Do dumb things like checking my inbox, getting a drink and music squared away, etc first. THEN take meds and dive in as they ramp up.

    2. I was having trouble getting started but also specifically having trouble with the start of the slides. But there's no reason the first slide in the deck has to be the first one created.

    For the song I've been working on transcribing, I gave up on "note by note from the beginning" approach. Instead I found spots where it was easy to figure out (single sustained notes, simple melodic progressions, etc). Then I tied those together knowing where the mystery passage had to start and end.

    Why not do the same thing with PowerPoint? I definitely know what I want to say in the "design proposal" section. And I think I know what some future work will be. Start with those parts!

    That only took like 30 minutes. And with that out of the way, it looked a lot more do-able to find some points to make in the "how did we get here" section.

    I now have a (very) rough draft of the talk!

  10. Trump-appointed #FDA -boss wants to make all #medical #drugs available over the counter, "unless the drug is addictive, unsafe, or requires monitoring."

    #Health insurers love that, because their #insurance plans cover prescription drugs only.

  11. oh god oh god oh god I have to give a 20min talk in April

    Making the charts for the last one 5y ago had me crying in front of an empty slide deck for a week. And that's not even the part I hate most!

    I no-kidding consider just quitting my job (or worse) every time this happens.

    Hopefully #adhd #rx will help with the charts part and probably the talk itself. Not the dread, tho.

  12. "Thank you. Your prescriptions will be ready . . . September 18, 2031 . . . is this okay?"

    "No."

    "Okay . . . there is one earlier time available . . . today . . . in 27 seconds."

    Goddammit, #pharmacy This is exactly why people immediately start shouting "Speak to a technician!" as soon as your shitty automated system answers.

  13. Because the U.S Government is currently unwilling to tell you if the medications you're being sold are safe, ProPublica has launched an app to do the job.

  14. Wow.

    First #adhd #rx dose in over 10 days.

    It's only been 10m and it's hitting like the first time. Brain is getting quiet. Breathing is slowing. Getting calm and sleepy.

  15. My #adhd #rx was supposed to be filled on 12/28. "Due to limited supply" it wasn't.

    After 7 days, I called and they said nobody had any for a radius of 30m.

    On day 10 I got a text that "due to limited supply" it may "take longer than expected".

    I'm never getting back on this med, am I? #RFK has screwed it up worse than it was before, I assume.

  16. Days 2 & 3 of stopping #adhd #rx are the worst.

    This is the morning of Day 2.

  17. #adhd #rx again delayed

    At this point, the only explanation is enemy action.

  18. #safely eradicate #parasites via #gene-drive
    #medical : lice, scabies : #gene_drive
    #lice (body, pubic, head) & #mites (' #scabies ') and #bedbugs have no #natural_predators , it would be fantastically amazing to have a #genedrive to #eradicate the sometimes-lethal insects. Last year, it was widely reported, one on the east coast had died -- was literally eaten alive by a parasite colony in jail. No treatment had been granted, despite repeat complaints. More recently, prisoners in #ice jails, families & children in #Gaza , and held in #Israeli #prisons have reported being deliberately #infected with scabies and lice, suffering horribly. Also #RX #treatment_resistance - much like #antibiotic_resistance w #superbugs - to conventional RX (#antiparasitics ) has skyrocketed: in late 1990s, efficacy was ~97% in USA. But a decade ago by 2016, dropped to ~35%. Today, the identical treatment is prescribed as 30 years ago. Finally, said #drugs = #neurotoxin #nerve_damage . A #genedrive could fix all of that. What is it? A gene edit which makes 100% of all offspring male: no females = inability to #reproduce and it perpetuates every generation so an edited male reproduces w nonedited female and all eggs become male, also carrying the gene-edit.... And eventually the colony depopulates entirely. A very fast & effective cure ..... versus.... a months-long hopeless battle dousing one's body in vinegar, daily, plus numerous other toxins & nerve damage.

    This was the patient instruction card I used for the last five years of my practice. Note the exhortation at the bottom "Bring All Your #Medications..."

    I could count on one hand the number of times my patients followed that advice. In #primarycare it is impossible to know what the patient is ACTUALLY taking unless they bring the whole bag of bottles in with them... "#Rx meds from five different #doctors in three different systems, plus over-the-counter #drugs, plus mostly snake-oil #supplements that probably aren't causing harm directly but interfere with at least one of the legit meds I have the patient on..."

    A true snapshot of the state of #US #healthcare.

  24. Dr. Peter Grinspoon, leading practicioner of medical #cannabis , reveals why its gaining popularity among older folks for #pain management and #sleep improvement. It helps avoid polymedication, kidney damage induced by anti inflammatory non steroid over-the counter #rx and #opioid addiction.

    He even shares a personal experience about his father end-of-life care and how cannabis helped him enjoy family and be present to the very end. Grinspon also advises on how to manage cannabis side efects. Very useful info in just 7.5 minutes.

  29. Update on the future of Rx.NET versioning:
    github.com/dotnet/reactive/dis

    The 3 scenarios that seemed to prevail:

    1. Keep the System.Reactive packages. Solve problems using hacks (different API surface in build time than in runtime).

    2. Introduce System.Reactive.Net packages, keep System.Reactive as a facade.

    3. Try the first one in Rx7. If (when?) something breaks, switch to the second one.
