![]() (Also just a heads-up that this essay talks about the author’s eating disorder, but doesn’t mention specific numbers.)ĭesire was a way of taking up space, but it was embarrassing to have too much desire-in the same way it had been embarrassing for there to be too much of me, or to want a man who didn’t want me. I love everything this woman writes so much. ![]() The Quickening, by Leslie Jamison for The Atlantic, September 2019 The title of this feature is inspired by the title of Emily Gould’s tumblr, Things I Ate That I Love. HELLO and welcome to the 296th installment of Things I Read That I Love, wherein I share with you some of the longer-form journalism/essays I’ve read recently so that you can read them too and we can all know more about what I’ve been doing on my mental health break!

There are three new drugs that are used now. Dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban and these are called the new anticoagulants and they have certain advantages over warfarin, most obviously that they don’t require you to have regular blood tests to monitor how thin your blood is because, by and large, the dose that you’re prescribed, provided it’s the right one for your age range, is likely to be the correct dose for all people in that group. So you don’t have to adjust the dose but the other advantage is that the limitations on diet, which, you know, the advice over restricting certain foods in the diet, which applies to warfarin, doesn’t apply to these other drugs. And so the person is more likely to be able to relax about that. We still haven’t enough experience of using them to know for sure how safe they are in the long run. They’re not without side effects and they’re not without interactions with other drugs, so they need to be used carefully in selected people for whom there are problems with warfarin or people who are unable or unprepared to take warfarin. #WARFARIN ANTIDOTE FREE#Īttitudes to new medicationsĪt the time of our first interviews, some people were aware that new medications were becoming available and welcomed the possibility of taking a drug which would free them from the constraints of regular blood tests. James had already spoken to his GP about the possibility of taking a new medication, and said ‘I’d love to be on them because it’d save me going for the tests.’ Mary said she would consider paying privately to take suitable alternatives, if they were not available on the NHS but were appropriate for her.
