It might have been, Jen. I don't know. They said that they used it a lot for gall bladder pain (what I was in for), because it seemed to work especially well for that.

Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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

Not Jen, but it's available both ways. I used to give myself Toradol shots for my migraines. It was a magic drug for me (which my current neurologist won't give me. Oh, well...I don't get them as often, so it's fine, but I did love it).

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I've actually never given any other way except through an IV. People are usually pretty nauseated after surgery and we don't give any meds by mouth for a little while to avoid the nearly-inevitable vomiting.

The status is NOT quo.
Some idiot tree trimmer knocked out the power on my street a couple of hours ago, and I'm freezing! I want my heat back!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I bet some alien parasite has embedded itself in the tree trimmer's spine and is controlling him as part of their plan to take over the Earth.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, that would be as silly as someone growing back his hand.

Hmmm...instead of doing homework, I'm uploading videos that I took on the trip with my new camera. It's so fun!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have been pondering my stash of the good drugs, because I'm having to have a tooth pulled Wednesday and I can't take nsaids until then. As far as I'm concerned, tylenol is just a cruel joke, particularly for arthritis.
My stash of leftover Percosets and friends is very comforting to me too. I usually end up taking 4 or 5 a year, but somehow it's easier to deal with pain if you know you have something that will make it go away. Codeine and its relatives don't make me particularly loopy; they just make me feel like all's right with the world. They also keep me wide awake. For me, the evil drug is morphine.
