I find it annoying that the pharmacy is so careful about my medications - none of them is in the least bit fun (no, really) and I just can't imagine there being much demand for them except for the intended purpose. I know you need to take them with a doctor monitoring things, but it would be nice if I didn't have to get new prescriptions when the old one runs out. One of them, the doctor gave me 99 refills ... which is really convenient.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

I think I'm the one person who likes the new new Sudafed better. The old kind made my heart gallop, but this kind works without the heart rate over 100 bpm and accompanying jitters.

Hah! As so many products do.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope. But we may be the only two. My reaction to pseudoephedrine is extreme enough (heart galloping, shakes, dry mouth, freaky-outy thoughts... your basic panic attack in a pill) that I used to despair of finding any cold medicine, because that shit was in everything whether it advertised itself as a decongestant or not.
(On the other hand, not much risk of becoming a meth freak...)

People are weird. I'd have thought that too about the med I take for my thyroid, but it turns out some folks take it to lose weight.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A lot of my meds do have happy!fun purposes, so I basically feel guilty requesting them or filling the prescriptions.
Wow. I've almost downed the whole quart of Smart Water and it's just turned three.
I had a slight ebay spasm and bought four sets of cufflinks. That doesn't make me a bad person, right?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
So what OTC is good for sinus headaches? I was taking Pretends to be Effective and Advil and hoping they would make magic.

I'm a big fan of the Claritin-D 24 hr.* + Advil cocktail.

bon bon, that combo would work for me, but I seem to be one of the few who find PtbE effective.
