I'd like to rename 'painkillers.' Because mostly they just knock it down a little. Either 'pain reducers' or something that really eliminates pain.
On the advice of my PCP, I take 1000mg acetaminophen and 400mg ibuprofen together, as needed, and that dosage is usually enough to knock things down to manageable, and frequently does eliminate pain for the rest of the day. I rarely have to resort to that more than maybe twice a week.
The other day things were so bad the first dose did nothing, and I took another dose four hours later, something I never do. I rarely need a second dose in a day. The second dose backed things off to functional, but by late evening I really needed another dose just to be able to sleep.
I don't know if it was the barometric changes of Florence's organizing or what, but I'd really like to avoid more days like that.
Body chemistry being what it is, most opioids (that is a damn funny word to spell) don't do all that for my pain, they just make me not function well enough to care very much.
Timelies all!
I've taken Percoset once, after having two wisdom teeth removed. I remember sleeping a lot. When I sprained my ankle, I got extra-strength ibuprofen. (800 mg, I think.)
I have made rice krispy treats, lemon bars, and Chex mix, for tomorrow's adventures. But my cramps are still bothering me so I can't decide if I really want to jump up and shower so I can go to dancing. I'm thinking not, but then again it would probably be good for me. But cramps. And tired. And having to get dressed in real clothes...yeah, that's a no.
laura - YAY for your son!
NC weather, and MA explosions are scary.
NY elections turned out not to be that close at all. Looks like many if not all of the IDC get ousted from the Senate, so that is good.
Look at the post I did not post yesterday. -
Laura, SUCH good news about your son. Happy-making.
Also good news about the elections, msbelle.
This couple I am friends with texted me and said I should go see this band we know the guys in. I hemmed and hawed and decided to come. So showered and drove down and now I don't think they are here yet. So I'm out BY MYSELF!!!! This is no good very bad.
But they WILL be there right? It's all good!
I am waiting for friends, we were just on a boat all day. Except it was like 55F and raining most of the time. We had to reserve the boat long ago and hope it would be nice. We kinda lost.
I DO NOT KNOW, they are not answering text.
I'm staying in and catching up on a bunch of Wynonna Earp episodes. Woo! I could say this was due to the edge of the hurricane going through, but honestly, this is sort of how I spend most Saturdays. Msbelle, I hope your friends show soon.
