Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[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.

Generic Flonase does smell funky, and I think it's giving me headaches. Bah. Perhaps my histamines need to smoke some damn weed and chill out and stop overreacting to every damn thing. That way I don't have to keep trying (and failing) a gazillion meds.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

No, it's naphazoline. Which really sounds like a Nazgul, not a legit medication.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

actually a vitamin D overdose

Yikes, how much did you take? I take 1000 mgs a day. Because I don't go outside much.

Tried Flonase years ago. It made my nose bleed. heavy sigh

Okay, so, wash bedding more frequently, take anti-H at night, get eye drops, try Allegra.

I had an allergist tell me that I had the worst skin reaction to mold she'd ever seen. I don't think there's mold lurking anywhere in my house, though. Maybe the shower curtains. But I open the windows to feel better - when I'm outside I don't have any problems.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I have been reading Mark Reads Fellowship of the Ring and I had a sudden thought. Pure chance that I had not finished catching up in Bitches led me to post it in Facebook first.

Lord Of The Rings
Lord of the Flies
Lord of the Dance

One is disturbing and scary and will give you nightmares.
The other two are works of fiction.

Oh, and what was the stomach-acid med that was used as an antihistamine? Pepcid? Prevacid?

Ahahaha!

My niece gave me chocolate laced with bacon for Christmas. I can't stop eating it. So good!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

What about allergy shots, Zenkitty? Are those feasible for you?

My favorite sinus drug that still works is from Walgreens, Wal-Act. It's the old pseudoephedrine-based Actifed formula, and it's the only place I can get it now. Each tablet has 60mg pseudoephedrine, though.

I expect the federal government will soon be requiring retina scans in order for us to buy pseudoephedrine.

Yikes, how much did you take? I take 1000 mgs a day. Because I don't go outside much.

I was only taking 2000 mg a day, and when Tim got sick I increased it to 3000-4000 mg a day, which is still within recommended normal limits. But it's the only thing that I changed about my habits (no other new meds/supplements, no new food, no new laundry detergent, etc.), and after a lot of research, the symptoms I had were consistent with vitamin D overdose.

Basically, the lesson is that I, as usual, am probably hypersensitive to things/amounts that normal mortals are absolutely fine with.

Oh, and what was the stomach-acid med that was used as an antihistamine? Pepcid? Prevacid?

Pepcid. You can also use Zantac. Basically any acid-blocker whose generic name ends in -dine. Pepcid is ranitidine; Zantac is famotidine. There are undoubtedly others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. But those are the ones that are H2 blockers.
