Oh, of course Steph and I are posting sequentially on drugs. And not even drugs I know super well.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Nor I. I just have rapid Google-fu when it comes to drugs. (Well, tramadol I know, because the dog has a prescription for his wonky knee, and then the dentist prescribed it for me after a root canal, and I thought it was hilarious that the dog and I had the same meds.)

I've been heating it with a bean bag thing, and those stick on patches (plus hot showers) but had to bite the bullet and see the doc.
I'm a little stoned, but back is better-ish, so that's all to the good.

Those are fantastic. I'm pretty sure I packed one of those on the honeymoon, too. (Yes hello I am 90.)

By the time I ever go on a honeymoon, I'll be 90, so I ain't judging!

Oh, vets LOVE tramadol. Because it's pretty effective and fewer humans know about it enough to try to abuse it. If you have a pet with pain, you are likely getting tramadol or rimadyl (NSAID). Depending.
It cracks me up when pet and human meds are the same. Kittenish and my Dad both used to take atenolol. And, actually, maybe the same thyroid med too. But hers was tuna-flavored.

Kato has them both -- the rimadyl was a daily med, since it was meant to get the inflammation under control, and the tramadol was just as-needed if his knee injury was causing him obvious pain/mobility issues.
He doesn't take them on a daily basis any more, because rest and a few months of the rimadyl really helped. Every once in a great while, if we take too long of a walk, he ends up limping hours later, and we give him 1/2 a rimadyl and that usually takes care of it.
Good old dog. He's slowing down somewhat -- 20 minutes is really his maximum walk time these days, which makes me sad because he's getting old -- but he's still pretty frisky and energetic.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I came home to a very apologetic note slipped under my door ("I'm truly sorry for disturbing you at that hour and being a total asshole"), including a Starbucks gift card. I hope this concludes my adventures with cranky neighbor.

Great -- I could have called 1-800-VET-MEDS.
I remember when I tried to use the cat's ringworm meds on myself. It didn't go away, and my doc about busted a gut laughing at me, because the cat med was way too dilute for a human.
I was in grad school, with no insurance. It SOUNDED logical...

I may or may not have taken one of Kato's tramadol pills when I had a terrible migraine that my regular migraine meds had no effect on.
