Listening to the #BlindBoy #podcast for a bit today. He said something that really resonated with me, especially in light of #MedicationShortages for #ADHD meds. He said he'd hate to live a day in a neurotypical body because going back would show how hard EVERYTHING is with a #neurodivergent mind #asd
That realisation is why I cried my first day on meds and that is why I'm looking at my last pill while I wait for the replacement meds prescription to go through to my pharmacy.

A question for the assembled wisdom: is there a website or other resource that keeps track of which pharmacies have #sulfasalazine available? Bonus points if the resource covers mail order pharmacies or Philadelphia-area brick-and-mortar sites.

"A recent review by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, looked at challenges domestic #pharmacies faced after #climate disasters between 2012 and 2022: among others, #MedicationShortages, closures, increased costs, and difficulty getting new #prescriptions from doctors.

In Florida, notably, pharmacists can refill non-controlled prescriptions early if a state of emergency is declared for a hurricane."

The climate crisis has hit pharmacies. Will lawmakers act?

Drug supply chains are more profitable than resilient—bad news for 130 million Americans.

"People Can’t Get Their A.D.H.D. Medicine, and That’s a Sign of a Larger Problem"

In my practice, this issue comes up multiple times weekly (in multiple locations throughout the country) has not always been solvable, and has definitely interfered with optimal functioning for a good number of patients.

This is a long thread from the bird site, sorry, there's no other source for this. It's about the dire situation for sick children in Montreal - a mother's nightmare with an extremely sick baby:
