    The Halloween thread

    Maybe because Halloween acknowledges the darker things in life, but in a safe way because you can choose how much to participate in and ignore the rest? It's the only (non)holiday that doesn't deal exclusively in pastel colours, fluffy animals, good will towards others, sunshine, happiness...

    hi @needingamiracle If you're wondering specifically about medication side effects, usually pharmacists are a really good place to start, since meds are their thing. Where I am, you can walk-in or book a consultation.
