Methotrexate

Common brands: Otrexup (PF), Xatmep, Trexall

Chemotherapy and Immunosuppressive drug

It can treat cancer of the blood, bone, lung, breast, head, and neck. It can also treat rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

She says her mother had a rheumatologist. Rheumatoid arthritis, if she had it, is an auto-immune disease (and long provable with a blood test, by the way.) Rheumatologists are experts in auto-immune problems and the associated hormonal dysfunctions. Which, like so many other things in medicine, are not fully understood. It definitely sounds like she had auto-immune complications from covid vaccination and one of the things they tried to help her was suppressing her immune system with methotrexate, but that didn't help, that caused a spiral down to liver failure and death.

She may have had substantial kidney and liver damage already from using too many over-the-counter pain drugs over many years for her arthritis. This is something you must balance when you treat rheumatoid arthritis - pain or earlier death from pain relief? You cannot take lots of pain drugs or things like antibiotics over many years without shortening the life of your liver and/or kidneys (same as with alcohol).

And again, recent studies have shown that Tylenol can be very dangerous - it can actually kill rather quickly via liver failure.

Also did you know many older people die after they break their hip and that is why they are afraid of falling and breaking their hip?

Do you get how this works? Many people die from organ failure from the medicine that caused them to live way past the age they would have if they lived before the medicine was possible. THAT IS WHY IT IS BETTER TO TRY TO BE HEALTHY BY EATING AND EXERCISE rather than have to resort to medicine. Dr. Beverly Crusher being able to make it all better is fiction! Medicine cannot make it ALL better, it can only try to make some things better by balancing risk and make sick people live a little longer than they used to. It seems like you have not spent much time with the practice of fighting off the death of very sick people in the ICU, and with the phone calls of doctors where they cry and say they tried very hard to save him/her, but failed. I have unfortunately had too much.

You are an advocate of taking some of their tools away. In doing that, you are basically advocating that more sick people die sooner and more of the healthy ones that don't need to try the art of medicine yet survive.

p.s. from that thread:

What they found was that the drugs did work better than placebos — but only in about 15% of the patients.

The placebo effect, meanwhile, is enormous: About two-thirds of all the patients in the placebo arm got better https://t.co/uA3cbeMWjR pic.twitter.com/hZ0bMk1Uc7

I'd like to add that 15% is a pretty damn good number if you dealing with the intractable problem of serious major chronic depression!!! I get the impression that's actually a pretty phenomenal success rate with that malady! I remember reading about writer William Styron's case and how he tried everything over many years and finally found out that modernized electroshock as an inpatient was the only thing that worked some for him. And then there's others like Kurt Cobain who just basically give up on medicine and self-medicate until they die young from it...and all those who just pay a therapist weekly for their whole life just so that they have someone to talk to to keep them from committing suicide...and the many stories of woman physically abusing or even killing their children as a side effect of post-partum depression.

Nothing should be ruled out. Whatever helps! The truth is major depression is horrible and incurable.

I think this is an excellent suggestion:

It’s too soon to throw out all the SSRIs, but it’s beyond time to throw out deceptive drug advertising.

The commercials pushing the chemical imbalance theory should, at the very least, come with an additional warning: https://t.co/uA3cbeMWjR pic.twitter.com/tChsitgajJ

And it would be a great benefit to require it on advertising for many other prescription drugs, too. (And don't get me started on nutritionists' prescriptions for healthy eating...)

In reply to Antidepressant withdrawal is

If people don't know that by now, when it's been highly publicized since the mid 1990's when "Prozac Nation" caused a flood of info., and when there are warning labels on all those drugs, then I don't know what to say except: YOU NEED TO RESEARCH ALL THE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS you take. Medicine is a two-way street, the patient has work to do too. Those print outs that come with your prescriptions when you pick them up? READ THEM. They give them to you so you can't sue them if things go wrong.

P.S. You can DIE from Tylenol, it happens more often than you think. I was reading about that only recently. It's sold over the counter, but there are very specific dosage instructions on the packaging that need to be followed!

Flathead County’s Sheriff

In reply to SSRIs, Once Again

Flathead County’s Sheriff Heino said rising methamphetamine use and mental-health problems during the pandemic contributed to more erratic behavior and more violent interactions between officers and suspects. Law enforcement in the county was involved in six shootings since May 2020, including four fatal ones. Before then, the last time a Flathead County deputy had killed anyone was 2007.
