I am a great big wimp who will now back slowly out of the scary S&M room....
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

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.

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

What is even happening?
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.You've probably taken more than I have, but yes. Exactly. And seriously Jess, when you have the baby, assuming you deliver vaginally, ask for the ice pads. Hospitals are stingy with them, sometimes, but don't take no for an answer. Best. Thing. Ever. Your goolie will thank you.
The only prescription pain medicine I've taken is Tylenol 3 with Codeine. I was 16 -- it was after I had all four impacted wisdom teeth removed. The medicine nauseated me, and left me weepy and depressed. Pain like that is localizable for me, I think, and preferable to the effects of the drugs.
I do fill pain prescriptions on the off chance I'll need them, at some point when medicine wouldn't be easily available, but I always end up tossing them. I know some pain needs medicine, though. I'm the first one to tell dh or my mum to take something for pain. I just have a Princess-and-the-pea stomach.
Okay, I'm off to de-Christmas the house. Maybe that'll burn off the extra caffeine I just poured down my throat.

Oh, Kristin. No! Gah. You poor sweetie.
Ibuprofin is my friend, as is Tylenol, and Aspirin or (preferably) Bufferin. I don't remember how good aspirin works until I take it, then I'm all, "IT IS A WONDER DRUG!!!" The Bufferin brand really is more gentle on the tum.
Okay. Really. Time to banish Christmas, now.
