Its the end of October when every Irish person going back millennia gets taken over by Halloween – not just the Celts, those who come and stay get bitten too, as Bram Stoker could tell you.
So there will be a series of 4 posts to mark the occasion, starting next week, previewed here. These fit closely with the RxISX Prize posts and should be read in conjunction with them.
Not every title and subtitle will remain the same – and some still need to be inked in……

“Reading Calvino, you’re constantly assailed by the notion that he is writing down what you have always known, except that you’ve never thought of it before. This is highly unnerving: fortunately you’re usually too busy laughing to go mad… I can think of no finer writer to have beside me while Italy explodes, Britain burns, while the world ends” (Salman Rushdie)
Written in 1992, not 1984, I must get it!
Well, that’s our Autumn reading well and truly covered by the looks of things. Sounds really interesting. Didn’t realise the Irish were so much into Hallowe’en though.

Congrats to my Irish friends for selfless advocacy. Remember the Irish proverb: Even a small thorn causes festering https://oireachtas.heanet.ie/hourly/seanad/seanad_20171018T092459.000003.mp4 …

Drug side effects are a huge issue #PSSD is one that needs collaboration so we created a RxISK prize to incentivize https://rxisk.org/prize/

Passing eye for pharma along…trick or treat?
I’m probably reading this wrong Annie, but are you trying to infiltrate the illuminati of drug worshippers? Haha, I would love to join. I could probably rent a pinstripe suit.
But damnit, if it weren’t for my eyes, my eyes that shine like headlights of “SSRI-stare”, I could’ve blended in. They will spot me immediately.
Borrowing a little inspiration from Springsteens “the Wrestler”:
-“if you ever seen a mugshot of a drugged up looney starring back, if you ever seen such a mugshot, then you’ve seen me”

And after Hallowe’en comes 1st ans 2nd November, ALL SOULS’ NIGHT, when last year so many of us lit candles beside photos of loved ones and posted them on the Internet. We were desperate to raise awareness of the damage done to so many still living souls, as well as so many that had passed, from prescribed medications which had had iatrogenic effects.
Reviewing the situation a year later, especially in the light of the result of the Dolin case in Chicago and in the gathering exciting momentum around the RxISK PRIZE and all it is doing to raise the profile of PSSD, PFS and most needed of all PRSD, it could well be that our joining together in lighting our candles and sending out our positivity, has made a difference.
So, please, all those who believe this could be so, join the rest of us lighting our candles for our living or lost loved ones this ALL SOULS’ NIGHT, and let’s give thanks for the marvellous strides our campaigns have made during this past year, and ask that with the innovation of the mind blowing RxISK PRIZE, even greater progress is around the corner. If you are lighting your candle, do please tell us.
Will be lighting a candle Heather …love from susanne
Thanks indeed Susanne.
I’m wondering if we could each post a picture of our candle and message on the RxISK Facebook page, if that would be acceptable to David Healy?
Candle, momentos, treasured gift from lost soul received when we were still able to share our joys together are all on standby for this spiritually powerful tribute.
The tears released last year are no doubt also on standby.
Thanks Heather.
Thank you so much Tim for linking your light together with ours on Thursday 2nd November, and thank you to Dr Healy and RxISK for giving us this platform. It is so empowering and uplifting.
