Is Your Treatment Making You Suicidal?

May 2, 2024 72 Comments

This post links to a RxISK Reducing the Risk of Treatment Induced Suicide Resource.  The immediate idea for this Resource came from an article by Katinka Newman on the Downward Spiral many prescription drugs can cause. Five years ago RxISK posted lists of drugs that can cause a downward spiral.  Three years ago a mother of a 14 year old boy - see Mentally Hijacked by … [Read more...] about Is Your Treatment Making You Suicidal?

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. The standard version is that a faithless man is cursed by Ondine, a water-nymph, … [Read more...] about Ondine’s Curse: Can’t Live With or Without

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

Fertility, the Moon and the Military

February 26, 2024 13 Comments

For Millennia, the Moon has been linked to Fertility, Healing and Creativity. It was the Goddess for Fertility.  None of our ancestors, however, had to wonder if a Robot on the moon might have implications for Fertility. If you think last week's Lunar Landing of an Intuitive Machine Robot could have nothing to with Fertility – think again. We normally link medicine to the … [Read more...] about Fertility, the Moon and the Military
