It's a fair trade because the kitchen is on the first floor, which means she gets cooking duties. Come to think of it, if I don't make the bed, she won't find out until she's already fed me so the chances of retaliation are low

Because your sex life is already non-existent or

When I had my veneers done, the Aesthetic Dentist gave me some of those. Told me to take one every 6 hours.

I took one on Monday about 1:00pm after getting home....and didn't/couldn't get up until around the same time Tuesday. Missed work and I had planned on working the next day.

It was Wednesday before my head felt right. When I had my next follow-up with her, I bought the bottle of pills back. She said we couldn't flush them, so we ended up putting them in the Hazardous Waste bin in her office.

I'm sensitive to a lot of stuff...caffeine, etc. I have probably taken less than 30 Tylenol my entire Adult life.

Never again will I do that.

Well, the night was more quiet than expected, the very good news is, that I hadnt took any of the Iboprufen pills, wasnt necessary at the end. A deep look to the surgeons field revealed a minimum swollen spot and just a few strings with knots.
So all in all I am very pleased with the doctors work. Well, the very fat bill would come up into a few months when some implants are onto my dance card but thanks to my extra teeth insurance most of the costs would be carried from them.

It's weird how different people have different reactions with meds. I have taken percocet and norco and various pain meds and for the life of me cant understand how anyone could develop and addiction I get as much enjoyment to lead to taking more out of a tylenol which is none. Never been worried about an addiction cuz it's stupid a beer does more. If you wanna take drugs dont be a pussy and pretend get some heroine or meth or something.

Same here. 10 years ago in college I had a collapsed lung and needed surgery. They gave me some pretty heavy stuff after I was released but told me I was okay to drive in 2 days. I went to work which was on campus about 8 miles away, I felt like I was doing 90 mph but was only doing 30.

I am also scared of opioids. I had the first surgery (EENT) of my life last year, and I gutted out the first whole week post-op with just aspirin.

I finally took oxy after I couldn't take it no more. It helped a lot more but I'm still glad that I minimized the amount of time I was on them.

This also meant that I ended up with a big surplus of the stuff. I may or may not have checked the street value of this stash before ultimately destroying it. Just "out of curiosity" of course...

In the ER a few years ago, the nurse gave me an injection of liquid Demerol. A few minutes later she asked how I was feeling. Jokingly, I said, "It still hurts" while winking at the girlfriend. The nurse loaded me up again! At this point, I feel no pain and my field of vision became pretty blurry and I had a hard time focusing/concentrating on anything. The Dr. comes in the room and asks how I'm feeling. I gave the same response and he had the nurse shoot me up again! They take me back to imaging to do their business, take me back to the room and I shit you not, they loaded me up again. It was at this time I lost count of how many injections they had given and honestly it seems like they shot me up twice more before I left. After leaving, i almost threw up in the parking lot and the ride home was nothing short of a Pink Floyd video. I don't remember anything else after the car ride.

Prescription med addiction is for people who have never had "good" drugs.

A McDonalds cheeseburger probably tastes great to someone who who has never had actual good food.

I'll take pain meds when prescribed but not a fan myself. They're great if I need to sleep.

I went into hospital one night in a lot of pain and they gave me liquid morphine. Because of the pain, I suspected I would be admitted so I had taken my laptop and cell phone and chargers, and while on the liquid morphine I pulled out the laptop and coded something for a client in Australia who was expecting it later the next day. Checked the code in, told the staff, and it worked perfectly. The staff had no idea I was in hospital until 2 days later.

I feel like you are risking drawing a correlation to something you shouldn't.

Drugs are bad kids.

I'm not looking forward to going back to work full time on Monday. I already have a full list of problems that I get to start my week with which sucks. Its got me cranky and pissed.

[cmyx6go]

I’m so tired. I need this shit to end. I don’t remember the last time I had a good nights sleep. I have no problem falling asleep, my problem is staying asleep. I need the TV on to fall asleep. I know the noise and light disrupts my sleep so I started shutting it off the first time I wake up. Bad move. I guess the “noise” keeps my brain occupied. Once I shut the TV and go back to sleep without the noise, I have bizarre, troubling dreams. So I’m leaving the TV on all night. Might need to get one of those noise things-ocean waves or something.

[upstatedoc]

Opioids have their place in pain control. Believe me I'm not a big proponent. Dental pain is surely one of the applications. Short term use I have no problem with. Long term use/abuse is something I've been dealing with for 20 years With patients.

The X3MC starts feeling a little light and squirrely at 150mph on our crappy roads according to a friend.

We have one of the noise machines. It's great and has 6-8 different sounds. We dont have a TV in the bedroom....never have.

But that little gem works great....well great considering I only sleep 4 hrs a night at most.

I'm a lightweight. Haven't had any alcohol in 20 years, don't take anything other than vitamins and "gym" stuff.

But that experience screwed me up. The Dr even said she gave me the lowest dose of a mild opiate...if they make them. I thought they were all the same.

God how I hated that feeling. Ive never had any pain medication since aside from an ibuprofen...and that is rare.

Im so sensitive to stuff, when she injected the numbing agent into my gums....my heart felt like it was going to come out of my chest!

I have to sleep with a fan on, otherwise it's extremely difficult to fall asleep. I've always been a light sleeper, so I'll usually wake up a few times.

I dislike that my wife is the same way. Your brain works when you sleep and can discern sounds you should drown out and ones that should wake you up, someone in the house, a car breakin, alien invasion whatever. It frustrating as hell to me to have to drown out potential dangers because someone is too lazy to make the effort to become accustomed to letting their body work properly instead of using a crutch. Some crackhead will be standing in the room and yell gotcha bitch and I will just say told you so.
