Don't handle the rats, Aimee.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Is there such a thing as Benadryl hangover?
Oh, yeah.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I've been handling them daily since I started. Today was the first time I've ever had this reaction.

Yeah, but you can develop an allergy all of a sudden. It sucks, but it can happen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Steph! Quick question: my doctor is suspecting I may have trouble absorbing some B vitamin (details r lost, folate, I think) and I wonder if something like Align might help with that nutrient-absorbtion problem? Any ideas?

Some GI problems definitely can fuck up absorption of nutrients. I don't know if the answer is probiotics -- or, that's not how I want to say it.
I'm not sure what the right steps are, and in what order, to heal an unhappy gut. (Leaky Gut syndrome, for instance, is real, and it definitely makes you not absorb nutrients as well as someone whose (semi)colon is healthy.) There might be something you would need to do *before* you take probiotics, but I don't know what that might be. But my feeling is, probiotics are generally a good thing. (Well, if you took too many at one time, you might get gnarly diarrhea, but it's not like OD-ing on painkillers or something.)
Do you have GI problems?

Also, I am not ditching you, but I'm trying to stick to my plan of going to bed early until this cold is gone, so I'm folding up the laptop for the night. (Unless I wake up at 4 a.m. and can't fall back asleep, like I did last night.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
That would suck if you'd developed an allergy, but I agree with Steph that it can happen. I had no allergy to cats when I was younger but now I do.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
erika, I very much approve of your long-range vocational goal, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Or get an interview for your company.
The doctor who refused me a 'flu shot because I didn't have the "right" chronic illness is On My List in such a serious way. I'm up at 4am with hacking cough and raging fever. I'm supposed to be going on a protest in the morning. Bet I'll be banned from spending six hours in the rain outside Downing Street now.

I'm sorry the doctor refused you the vaccine, Seska. That sucks.
