I just can't imagine there being much demand for them except for the intended purpose.

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.

Migraine meds?

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.

I just get the back-alley Sudafed 12-hour and take it with 3 or 4 ibuprofen. Works like a charm for 95% of my sinus headaches. (The other 5% turn into a migraine.)

It's got the pseudoephedrine; hence, the ID/back alley dealie. But, man -- the pseudoephedrine is GOOD SHIT. For congestion.

I need a vintage tea gown, right? [link] For all those garden parties I attend?

Last year, I had a series of god-awful sinus headaches. I tried everything but it didn't even take the edge off. I was working at the time and 12-14 hours a day with non-stop, blinding pain was killing me. Finally, I broke down and begged our writers assistant to find me something. I was like, "Whatever they have BEHIND THE COUNTER."

I may have even grabbed his shirt when I said that. It's still fuzzy. I was a desperate woman.

Yesterday is over and my head hurts again. Ah, well. At least I had a day. And I should be able to nap the edge off this one before teaching tonight.

Work is so freaking busy. It's weird to be in that bit where I do actually know what I'd doing (it's IT, but not in an industry I'd ever worked in before and the org chart is insane). I can actually answer questions. Off the top of my head. That no one else knows the answer to.

It's been a while.

So, about casual sex. Which is a change of topic, be assured. Medically speaking, when was the safest time to be unsafe? Assuming that pregnancy out of the question, when was the last significant low-risk disease-wise window for random shagging?
