#Autism: #Trump links condition to #Tylenol and touts leucovorin as “first” US therapeutic
"...The UK #Medicines and #Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says the drug [#Paracetamol] has the most favourable #safety profile in pregnancy among commonly used painkillers..."
Thinking about all this stuff where people are trying to link #vaccines and other #medicines (like the mellinia old #tylenol) to the supposedly large increase in the rate of #autism, and it's reminding me of something...
When my mother was #pregnant with my older brother, there was some sort of gas leak, and she was exposed to fumes which gave her headaches over several months. My mother was otherwise not really exposed to many drugs: she remembered the #thalidomide scandal. When my brother was a baby, he began displaying #autistic behaviors before he had his first #vaccine.
What occurs to me as I think about it now is, there is a lot of talk about commonplace and relatively safe #medications and vaccines supposedly causing autism to climb significantly (of which I have doubts), but none of these people seem to be talking about the various and increasingly exotic #pollution that pregnant women are exposed to on a regular basis...

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.
It feels like I take that many every day

all in one gulp
One of the skills developed in those last 3 / 4 years of sickness is the capability to swallow my entire morning therapy in one gulp with less than half a glass of fresh water. I can clearly remeber the feeling of deep disgust I had the first time I had to take those white and grey “oval” pills in the 3 formats you see … mostly the biggest one. After a month I came to terms with the smell, and luckily enough those memories are not an issue to me. Since those pills will follow me for […]
