a discussion on the Parkinson's Ireland site raises huge issues about drugs prescribed in Ireland. A woman with Parkinson's declares she now gets a 'generic' (cheaper) version of her drug which is causing havoc with her. Another woman gives a possible explanation
" Usually it's the binder/inactive ingredients that are of inferior quality to the original brand. This causes particular problems in drugs that are required to cross the blood brain barrier. The drug needs to 'decompose' at just the right moment in its journey"
This means we need to be absolutely clear that we sick people will NOT take 'generics' if they are having a bad effect on our conditions. we are NOT , apparently, obliged to take the generics and can demand the drug prescribed by our doctor.
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"
