Ondine’s Curse: Can’t Live With or Without

April 19, 2024 29 Comments

Ondine's Curse links closely to Balancing our Bodies and next week's Juggling our Selves. Ondine’s Curse sounds like a Greek Myths. Its not.  The story began taking shape a few hundred years ago and has been elaborated ever since - ending up featuring in The Little Mermaid and other stories.

Thanks to R who helped trigger this important RxISK post and some doctoring. . In July 2023, RxISK ran a post, written by R, giving an account of her Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness.  PPPD was new to us.  R had been in regular contact for a decade because of protracted withdrawal problems. Her problems came back in waves that were difficult to manage. She was then … [Read more...] about Balancing Our Bodies and Our Selves

Deprescribing – Where does Responsibility Lie?

April 7, 2024 14 Comments

This post follows on from last weeks Potentially Inappropriate Deprescribing and has links to this weeks The Creation Narrative and God Complex. It brings up a painfully tricky point.  Reducing Medication Burdens is perhaps the most important task in medicine today. Many well-meaning folk are aware of and raising the profile of this need and attempting to work out how to go … [Read more...] about Deprescribing – Where does Responsibility Lie?

Potentially Inappropriate Deprescribing – PID

March 31, 2024 33 Comments

This post is linked to An Archipelago of Realities on DH.org.  The link may not be clear when you start reading Archipelago but half way down it will be apparent. What is being said on Archipelago about SSRIs applies just as much to benzodiazepines here.   Geriatric medicine came into being in the 1980s and with it a new word – polypharmacy – a phenomenon particularly … [Read more...] about Potentially Inappropriate Deprescribing – PID

Hush-a-bye baby on the tree-top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock; When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, Down will come baby, cradle, and all. We face a problem as important or more important than Climate Change - the changing climate in healthcare - see Pharmageddon and Our Healthcare Climate.  For a decade, RxISK has been pointing to a polypharmacy pandemic, … [Read more...] about Medicine, Civilization and Cradles

Uterine Roulette and Consent

December 12, 2023 9 Comments

This post continues with the Lonesome Heroines theme - Consent. It needs reading in conjunction with Peter Selley's Coming Clean on Neonatal Deaths. The fact these posts deal with vaccines is semi-irrelevant - they are about a development model, a playbook, set up with SSRIs that industry now apply across all products. Our Bodies, Ourselves, a book by the Boston Women's … [Read more...] about Uterine Roulette and Consent

Experts by Experience and The Marketing of Anticholinergic Maleficence along with Psychotropic Drug Follies will give some feel for the background that makes it difficult to be certain about anything linked to the cholinergic drugs.  The Past Present and Future article will need to be downloaded to take to … [Read more...] about Withdrawal, PSSD and Cholinergic Drugs

Experts by Experience and Nobel Prizes

September 18, 2023 9 Comments

  In the mid-1980s, I gave a very nice man, an in-patient, weekend leave.  He hung himself. Everyone was shocked. The drug I’d put him on was the trigger to his suicide. Soon after, a medical resident called me to a case she was handling. She seemed exceptionally impressive, so I was surprised to hear afterwards she was taking an antidepressant. She told me about the … [Read more...] about Experts by Experience and Nobel Prizes
