Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

House: it is still really bugging me that House seems to be in less pain and leaning less on his cane now than in previous seasons, since he's supposedly now treating his pain with Advil. Pain that was severe enough to need Vicodin cannot be successfully treated with Advil.

how much advil is he taking? 800 mg of advil packs quite a punch. I know this from experience. It is comparable (IME) to low levels of vicodin.

There was also some discussion of this earlier that there's a meta reason for this - the limping was starting to cause physical problems for Laurie. As someone who goes through periods of limping due to chronic joint problems, I can sympathize. Even when the pain abates it's hard to lose the limp.

Yes, that is annoying. Even though I bet it's because limping so intently made HL hurt. Anyone else read about that and think "I'll wear my nurse outfit!" or was that just me being hard-up? Could House do the ketamine thing again? Or did his being shot create some kind of special opportunity?

Did I read here or elsewhere that HL was doing harm to himself walking on the cane so much?
of course crosspost

Agree that that's generally true, and really not well thought out or examined by the show. But when I was having chronic back pain taking percoset and other big hitters did jack, and I literally broke down in tears when I discovered by chance that dollar store aspirin wiped it out reliably. Probably ripped my stomach all to hell in the quantities and frequency I was taking, but still.

Oh, thank God. No more sanctimoniousness, no more pontificating, no more "Oh, you are wounded, I must love you!"
House likes people who are as or more fucked up than he is. It makes him feel normal, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pain that was severe enough to need Vicodin cannot be successfully treated with Advil
Doesn't it depend on the exact mechanism of the pain? It would be surprising to suddenly discover that Advil can address pain *now*, but it doesn't do the same stuff as Vicodin does, and is successful at relieving a different sort of discomfort.

Thirteen makes Cameron look like Sarah Bernhardt. (Although I liked Cameron more than I didn't, although she sometimes reminds me of me in ways I don't like.Not the one where she took up her profession to distract from her beauty, though. Sex appeal like mine cannot be distracted from...y'all just have to suck it up and deal.)
