My SIL's prescription naproxen was a godsend for the aches (500 mg, I think? she's one a holy-hell maintenance dose cause the army fucked up her knee) I honestly think that helped as much as the day/ny-quil to beat the worst of this cold. I hope you just have what I did- I basically slept a day after feeling like I'd been run over and then the sinus stuff was an afterthought (though not forgotten, I could tell my breathing still isn't right during my swim) once everything stopped hurting everywhere.
I will be seeking out OTC versions to abuse for future pain. Cause aspirin, tyl and advil kinda don't work anymore with me. But that naproxen was the shit!
Aleve = naproxen, I believe. My preferred painkiller.
I hope you feel better tomorrow, Strix.
I'd always avoided it thinking there was caffeine involved (I don't know why I thought that?) cause I know exactly how I can take my caffeine, and in meds is not one.
OH HAI POLICE HELICOPTER LIGHTING UP MY STAINED GLASS!
Oooh, I bet that is pretty. But not fun. I hope they find what or who they are looking for and stop the pretty light show quickly.
Very much so. They seemed to be running along Ellerslie and Chestnut Hill (I find it kind of hilarious I now can tell exactly what streets are being followed-partly because I know the area, partly because I too know the crime/flee patterns here,) so car spotting. Still hear it, but am not getting all lit up anymore.
Opinion question: if I wake up tomorrow and the root canal side of my face still hurts and feels swollen and a little warm to the touch, should I go to urgent care for antibiotics, to be followed by dentist on Wednesday, or try for emergency dentist services?
I'd call the dentist/ er dentist in the morning to see what they advise. My dentist will call in an emergency script/open the office for urgent issues (which I learned AFTER I'd suffered for 2 days in need of a root canal because I was stupid stubborn and waited until office hours. I could have NOT been in pain...)
Antibiotics. But call your dentist and see if hey can just call in a scrip.
I'd always avoided it thinking there was caffeine involved (I don't know why I thought that?)
You're thinking of excedrin.
I can do that! I know the dentist is closed until the 2nd, but I forgot he might have an e,regency number.
If not, I think I will just hit the UC.
Either way, you'll probably need to score some anti-bs and maybe some painkillers.
I am not letting to forecast dissuade me from getting a pedicure tomorrow. Damnit.
