@FandaSin @_9CL7T9k8cjnD_ the thing is not everything we get from #China is garbage.
For example, the only medication that has ever helped my #MECFS is LDN. And the only way I can get LDN is from Compounding pharmacies who buy the naltrexone powder from China.
The United States has been getting naltrexone from China since at least the 80s. My neurologist said his #MS patients used to have to order it themselves so in 2020 he was delighted to hear all the compounders have it now.
The US has never tried to be a supplier of #naltrexone because there’s no $ to be made with an old generic med.
I couldn’t stock up on it because it gets stale and doesn’t work as well. I buy 90 days at a time but I usually toss the last week or two because they don’t work anymore, and even doing that it’s still more affordable than buying only 60 days at a time.
I’m not accusing you of being racist at all, I’m just saying it’s kind of racist to assume that everything we get out of China is just garbage nobody needs.
If I can’t get #LDN I might have to go back to being bedbound after having a bit of a life for the past five years.
And I’m not sure I will just quietly fall by the wayside. I might need to end up on the news so people understand that disabled people with nothing left to lose aren’t going to just shut up and go die quietly. (I’m being hyperbolic, sort of. I would never hurt other people to make a point, but if I have to check out people are going to hear about it.)
