Methadone / pharmacotherapy is something that needs to be individualised, so there is a need for more doctors (and perhaps nurse practitioners) to be able to engage with patients to find what will suit them . The article makes mention of this… unfortunately there is so much stigma associated with heroin use that few medical practitioners want to take it on, and also many pharmacists don’t necessarily want to be part of dispensing methadone.
Hahaha, yeah bit of a lurker unless I’ve got something to say 😉 I think the name of the album was shooting rubber bands at the stars…? Really cool name
Such a good song!!! From memory the whole album was pretty good…
These look amazing!! I didn’t know these existed in Victoria - thank you!! (Now to find that $100 I also don’t need lol) Edit whoops $1000
Back in the late 80s there was an all woman band called The Wet Ones, and yes they did a tour with The Hard Ons
Thanks for posting, that’s a great article!!! I’m not quite that old lol, but another band you should check out are the Celibate Rifles… They started around 1979/1980, and played live right up until around 2018 (sadly, their singer Damian Lovelock died in 2019… He was also part of the soccer broadcast team on SBS) Anyhoo… Celibate Rifles were awesome… Lots of their stuff on YouTube
A person who was actually on that bus posted on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/14vqcgo/the_232_bus_i_was_on_earlier_blew_up_on_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1 Sounds like it was very lucky that there weren’t many people on the bus… Terrifying!!
Definitely second the Corinne Chapman series by Kerry Greenwood, so good!!! Also, if you like mysteries with some humour, ‘Brunswuck Street Blues’ by Sally Bothroyd was really enjoyable. Highly recommend
I signed up through Lemmy world and there’s been lots of issues with some of the apps…(I also signed up through Aussie zone too cos I was confused, but have mainly used the Lemmy world one to comment). I think you’re right and it probs has alot to do with the large influx of users… (& I also have 'pending subscriptions…)
Inner city, and it woke me up. I actually checked this thread, saw my earthquake suspicions confirmed and was able to get back to sleep. But it felt a bit full on for a minute or so!!
Japanese food is sooo delicious!!! My daughter is on holiday in Japan at the moment, and is sending me pictures of the most amazing food! Even their 7-11’s have delicious food!!
Happy Winter Solstice!!!
It’s so strange, I don’t necessarily notice shedding more hair than usual when I’m washing it, as it’s just always been part of having long thick hair … Except now my hair seems to be somehow less thick and I don’t even know when this happened … 🤷♀️
Helloooo!!! It’s taken me awhile to try and figure this out, but I think I’m here now 🤔😃 Happy to be here, this community is so precious!
I agree… definitely needs more funding… and the thing is, there are actually treatments for heroin (unlike meth) so it seems crazy to not invest more into the system so it works better and more people can get treatment if they want it.
