Dude, I love that head-floaty feeling!
I'll be over here not being a junkie with Tep.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Even ibuprofen? That's nuts!!
Honestly? I wouldn't. I can look stuff up later to see what enzymes metabolize ibuprofen -- they might not be the ones that grapefruit juice loves to hate -- but having seen some really bad shit happen because of that interaction (as well as reading case reports of bad shit at work), I just tell people to avoid it.

Well, it's not like the ibuprofen is really taking away my knee pain anyway. I LOVE a glass of pink grapefruit juice in the morning.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
so it's building up in your system and you are inadvertently overdosing yourself, which can FUCK YOU UP
Back in the late '80s/early '90s, my grandma got sucked in by a TV ad for some supposedly super-excellent vitamins that will cure all your sickness. She took them just like she was supposed to, and there were a lot of them, until she had what appeared to be a stroke. It took the doctors two days to figure out that what she actually had was a case of vitamin overdose--turns out that the vitamins she was taking were building themselves up in her organs until her body couldn't handle anymore.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've never told my husband I am jealous when he gets to take a justified Vicodin. EVER.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
HMOG I'm tired. Got to our setup space at 9:15. Stuff didn't start arriving until after 11. What should have taken maybe two hours for me took...7, I guess, and I still need to do stuff in the morning.
I have dinner plans, too, but my back hurts and my head hurts and it will be hard to make myself move. Worth it, but hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've yet to find a pain med that works on anything but cramps that doesn't also fuck my head up. The search continues.
you're not screaming and rolling on the floor, so how painful can it be?
Welcome to my ER battle. If I cry, I'm a junkie drug-seeking. If I don't cry, it's not that bad. Fuck you, I've had this headache since Tuesday. I've had to slog through my normal life since then. I've been sitting in a darkened room trying to stay awake by reading on and off, and your nurse just left the light on, and I don't have it in me to get up and turn the light off. Fuck you. Now I really want to cry.
