So! Good morning #QOTO and all my friends on #Mastodon. How you been?
Me, been better. Having something of an off day to be honest. My fault entirely, as I forgot to reup my prescriptions with my pharmacy. SO now I'm out of meds and going through some minor withdrawal that's only going to get worse as the day goes on.
Hopefully I'll have meds tomorrow. Goodness I hope so because I'm not looking forward to my overnight period of shivering, sweating, and choking on my own tongue. :/
🇳🇱
@Surasanji Meds should not be so hard to get! I hope it works out for you.
@freemo They're not hard to get. This is a 100% Dave-Fucked-Himself and is now complaining about himself scenario.
@Surasanji Well they are in the sense that you can just go to any corner store, no prescription, and pick up whatever you need for a few dollars. In my view they are "hard to get" everyone on the face of the planet and it shouldnt work that way IMO.
@Surasanji In my ideal world you'd still have doctors you can call or go see to get advice as to what medications you need. But in the end the power to make the decision and get the meds would be entierly in your hands.
@freemo I suppose you have a point in that, but the medications I take aren't the sort of thing you can just figure out for yourself that you need. I mean, cocktail of store-bought neurotransmitters isn't something we're at the point where we can just buy at the store safely.
Although, I long for the day we reach Star Trek levels for medicine. Oh, man, I know I'll never see it... but making medical care SO easy and inexpensive and universal? That will be fantastic.
