Another reason why the US just seems barbaric to me

[LotusBud]

I want the country to know that when I run out of Ketonex-2, hospitalization will be the only way to keep me alive, but it's a short-term solution that probably won't save my life. In the hospital, I'll be given an IV of D10 dextrose to keep my calorie intake up, but that won't give me any protein. For that, I would need my formula — but the hospitals, too, are running out of it.

Within 24 to 48 hours without my formula, my brain will start swelling and deteriorating. I will fall into a coma and likely die.

I don't want to die yet. I don't want my friends with MSUD to die, and I am so worried about them. There are thousands of people who need this formula to live. And Abbott was one of the only companies in the United States making our source of nutrition. We are being treated as an afterthought in the formula shortage.

I wish people were talking about the metabolic-formula shortage as much as they're talking about the baby-formula shortage, because we need help too. There's been more media coverage of the baby-formula shortages than the metabolic shortages, and we've been yelling and screaming for months, trying to get someone to listen to us.

We need the government to pass the Medical Nutrition Equity Act to ensure insurance coverage of medically necessary food, vitamins, and amino acids for metabolic disorders. We need help now.

Its OK. I pay my dues in full every 5 years. I could buy a lifetime membership but I prefer to keep on paying. Perhaps you clowns could look into suing members like me who keep the NRA going?

Perhaps we could stay on topic here. This thread is about the medical/pharmaceutical systems in the US, NOT the NRA. That's a totally different, yet also horrible, problem.

Intelligent enough to see YOU derail the thread. Maybe listen to locust and STFU.

Doubtful. She doesnt support the NRA like I do.

One question:

Why hasn't sewage major been promoted to something like "strategic director of interesting content" or "chief interest officer" yet ?

this site could really use something like that if we want to attract new people looking for healthy discussions on a wide variety of topics

They are busy prioritizing and covering puberty blockers, cross sex hormones, and "affirming" surgeries for children. The state doesnt care about people like in this OP.

Oh, damn. I should have known. It always comes down to either abortion or LGBTQ stuff.

Tchau tchau. Tenho que fazer alguma merda.

Where did I bring up LGB? I'm specifically talking about gender cult nonsense.

Also you have no problem bringing up abortion as it you think it suits your arguements, like attacking 2A supporters by saying they cannot be "pro life" unless they agree with gun control.

At least this IS about the topic. Priorities in health care, right?

Any 13 year old can make a phone call or go over to PP and get put on puberty blockers. This person cant get their Ketonex.

So they say, right? This is just a person another person knows saying this.

I dunno @Admin. Does this get the "cool story bruh" also or this random anecdote valid because it aligns with your thinking?

I AM open to a convo about how progs have turned against the rights and existence of LGB people, though.

My lesbian daughter will NEVER want to fuck or date a biological male who "idenifies" as a woman. And that makes her a transphobe/terf that TRAs call for violence against and laugh about raping.

Dont force people to be included in that "TQA+" part when it directly threatens their rights and safety.
