Pain is BAD! Pain meds are GOOOOOOOD!
I'm with Cindy here -- most prescription pain meds' side effects are worse for me than the pain. I'd rather be sore than vomiting any day.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Me too.
I took exactly one of the pain meds I got for my tooth infection/root canal (I think it was vicodin), then gave the rest to Cass. Stuff made me feel gross, and the pain wasn't that bad.

I am a great big wimp who will now back slowly out of the scary S&M room....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hardly ever take pain meds. Whatever they gave me when I had my wisdom teeth out wouldn't stay down, and I even forget that, say, Motrin is an option when I have a headache most of the time.
That said, the Percocet my doctor gave me in the E.R. a couple of years ago was very nice indeed. Everything was just fine for a while.

This must be so hard on all of them, and on you, because you're probably in the Other-Families-Are-So-Different Zone, too.
This. I feel completely impotent, and I hate that feeling. I hope I'm at least making it all a little easier for Drew.
Pain is BAD! Pain meds are GOOOOOOOD!I am in the "pain meds are my friend" category as well.
Which is why I took 600mg of ibuprofin last night after I slipped on the kitchen floor and slammed to the ground. Cass, Drew says I'm beginning to rival you in terms of needing a padded hamster ball.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
When I got my wisdim teeth out- I forget what they gave me too but I went through it in half the time I was suposed to.

I'm a bit banged up, but I'm rather stunned at how much pain I'm not in this morning. It could have been a lot worse. Mostly I just feel foolish. Oh, and I have a shiny new bruise on my thigh.

Motrin is an option when I have a headache most of the time.
Excedrin is my go-to drug cocktail for headaches. The caffeine makes it work fast.
Most prescription pain meds simply don't work for me because I throw them up before they've had a chance to be absorbed into the bloodstream. So the end result is that I'm still in pain and I feel nauseous. (Which is why most in-hospital pain meds are paired with antinausea drugs. I've never understood why the same couldn't be done with take-home pills.)
