There's a relatively neophyte druggie beggar on a corner I have to walk through regularly to get to the store. She looks a helluva lot better than Vikki- practically a glowing picture of health by comparison.
Sign of liver disease, too. Randomly gobbling prescription drugs she thinks she needs could have done all sorts of interesting things.
And then she took the bus to the hospital, as one does in an emergency.
Great find! Vicky has a lot of fun orbiters. There is one I was looking into before losing my phone - she’s one of those deathfat mustachioed muslim converts (hijab and all) with all the super special condishuns to boot. Tweets like a tumbl-bot, of course. I’ll try finding her again when work is a little less intense.
I very much look forward to being introduced to the Vicky Expanded Universe (Deathfat Muslim Edition)
For things like that you'll usually get a very, very short course, though. @Diana Moon Glampers probably has it right: pred has been a cheap generic for decades and you can order it by the bucket from Mexican/Indian/Oceanian online pharmacies if you feel the urge.
Correct. Shit will turn you into a fucking werewolf if you take it long enough.
ompliance] just as they are" is ludicrous. That's controlling and manipulative of others to a degree that Trannies haven't even quite aspired to yet. 
So while the rest of us puny humans get anaphylactic shock within seconds, she gets a very generous early heads up, feels good enough to make multiple twitter posts, and THEN administers the Epi. Truly a medical anomaly.
In addition to what @Diana Moon Glampers shared, it's trivially easy to get a 30 ct prednisone by going to any strip mall urgent care facility and complaining of sinusitis, asthma exacerbation, a lot of things of that nature. Sometimes, it might even be a good prescription- it's a standby for asthma flares, and some pulmonologists will just give a supply to use at your own judgement to people who reliably end up having to do a course every time they get a cold or flu. But other times, it's not the greatest solution, but it's still readily written by PAs and NPs eager to please and process through as many patients as possible in a shift.
That's the craziest fucking thing to me. Anaphylaxis ranges in severity and whether you're capacitated or not during the course of it depends on the person, sure, but can someone weigh in on if what she's going through is plausible (not that she's being genuine)? Also, taking an epi-pen shot once a month has got to be so bad for you.
If you're lucky it gives you a little bit of time (at most about 30 minutes) which allows you to premedicate and brace for impact, but time to "run a couple errands" absolutely not- especially because even if all you have ever gotten before was hives and upset stomach, this might be the time where you get angioedema and have to rush to the ER.
