Continually learning! I teach Grade 1 and advocate against the use of Lariam/Mefloquine. Go Packers!

@jsam10983741 There doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it. Just watch their lying, smug faces as they pillage our nation.

@RemingtonNevin Just for clarification: #quinism is the term that should be used to describe being poisoned by #mefloquine ?

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

This is an important development for Canadian mefloquine veterans. Although the Desmond family has publicly called for further investigation into the possible role of mefloquine in these deaths, the government has been strangely silent as to whether he was issued the drug. https://t.co/q5BrGUyBds

Look what came in the mail today @mraspinall !!!

[Prof Jane Quinn🧑🏼‍⚕️🐂🐂🐂 @JaneCQuinn1]

@RemingtonNevin An epidemic in travellers as well as veterans. No one group can be identified as completely immune to adverse effects of #Mefloquine. Common symptoms often overlooked as thought to be caused by unusual circumstances -such as new country / jet lag / drink or being in a war zone...

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

I am in Ottawa, Canada, for a week of meetings and events related to mefloquine use in the @CanadianForces—many veterans harmed by the drug.

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

If in Ottawa please visit Parliament Hill beginning at 3pm on the 19th to learn about the tragic legacy of mefloquine use in @CanadianForces

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

A reminder to those in Canada, there will be a mefloquine speaking event on Parliament Hill beginning at 3pm Tuesday, September 19, 2017.

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

I am saddened that despite our efforts, travelers continue to be harmed by the careless prescribing of mefloquine. https://t.co/aNMSelV6r9

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

@Elenski55 @RemingtonNevin @SomParNHS Yes I realize I am extremely fortunate. The big hassle of knowing I have an ABI is great. The uncertainty of what to do with me is saddening

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

@Elenski55 @RemingtonNevin @SomParNHS Not having issue w the health system believing me but rather giving a good solid understanding of #mefloquine & brainstorming treatment

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

@Elenski55 @MrsKonecny There isn't an ideal article yet for civilians. For U.S. mefloquine veterans, I would recommend they share this: https://t.co/gEGr2bdhdk

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

@Elenski55 @RemingtonNevin However it would be nice 2 have concrete info 2 provide. He believes but don't think he understands, so I don't have treatment direction 2/2

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

@Elenski55 @RemingtonNevin Yes, I have discussed this with my psychiatrist which is why I am getting off all of my medication. 1/2

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

@RemingtonNevin @Elenski55 This is an obstacle for me as it would be good to have something to give my counsellor, psychiatrist, neurologist, general practitioner

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

@RemingtonNevin If a #mefloquine victim were to give 1 piece of info e.g., article to their healthcare professional what would you suggest?

[Jessica Konecny @MrsKonecny]

New @CharmedAroma ring! 💙

[Dr. Remington Nevin @RemingtonNevin]

Happy Canada Day #Canada150—hoping this will be the year my native land finally examines mefloquine's role in the 25-year-old Somalia affair
