I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I had Benadryl and steroids with Taxotere. Taxotere and I were not friends, but I know people who had almost no side effects on it. I had very mild side effects from the first half of the treatment, which is worse for a lot of people. Weird stuff, chemo.

My life without Benadryl and ibuprofen would be drippy and painful.

Because books.

Where are the good scary movies? It's the month for it! TV can be so disappointing. And I don't think any good horror is even coming out this month in theaters.

My life without Benadryl and ibuprofen would be drippy and painful.

God, yes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In some cases, this has been because, since the person was convinced she was supposed to feel horrible, she didn't tell the doctor what was going on or ask for different drugs.

Yeah, that's a problem. Ugh.

THAT is very impressive! Nice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Too much benadryl and I get crawly too, Noise. But the dilaudid stops that. And it's better than the Compazine freakout that it stops. It's just a chain of drugs to stomp on the previous one's side effects.

Benadryl does nothing for me.

A coworker told me yesterday that he is allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen. Horrifying. I can't even.

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

Bodies, man, weird and all unique.

Compazine is the one that gave me crawl out of my skin-itis. It was uncomfortable.

Benadryl is awesome and makes me sleepy.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

a thing called defensive pessimism, where people figure out the worst-case scenario, but then make plans to avoid it or deal with it, but it sounds like the kind of thing that's only natural to a certain group of people, and probably hardly any of the other people learn how to do it.

Hey, they're describing Pete!

Mom was allergic to Benadryl. It took a while for her doctors to figure that out. For me, Benadryl makes everything stop itching, knocks me unconscious, and makes it hard to think the next day, which has made dealing with the stress-induced eczema oodles of fun, let me tell you.

ION, which of you evil people mentioned the TJ's pub cheese? I'm trying to convince myself that the tub is not a single serving.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

A big dose of Benadryl would probably put me into a coma, I'd be SO unconscious -- can barely keep my eyes open with an OTC dose. I don't suppose it would matter then if my skin was crawly.

Good luck with that. I open that stuff, I assume it's a meal.

Pub cheese, not benadryl.
