As good as it gets, starring Poppy

Posted on by

I did that thing where I chose to take Advil PM last night instead of taking Tylenol Arthritis for the shooting pain in my back and now I’m having one of those “non-verbal” days.

So, yup.

hi.

  2. Hey, sweetie. You know what I just did? I went to HR and filled out all those pesky papers. I feel pretty fucking awesome now. Still non-verbal, but pretty fucking awesome. … And, care to say anything more about your SPRING FEVER? :winks:

  3. YAY! I totally know how you feel. And so very happy for you :grins:

    As for my *ehem* SPRING FEVER… well, there is a lot more to be said, yes. I’m trying to take it slow, be sensible, and not rush into it. But, holy hell, IT ITCHES! AND WHEN I SCRATCH IT MYSELF, IT’S JUST NOT CUTTING IT! I’m hoping that the fever breaks this weekend ;)

  4. Advil rocks for me on every count, unlike Tylenol which does nothing for me EVER. I’m sorry you made that little boo-boo & are in discomfort & not feeling very talky. I give you gentle, delicate hugs (so as not to cause more pain) and hope that you feel better soon.

  5. I totally can’t take advil, it never really worked for me for pain. But I’ve never tried advil PM. Tylenol works sometimes for pain, but not enough.

    Yeah. I hear you about those non verbal days.

  6. Mel, Thank you. :smiles: Good luck for the weekend scratch!!! :winks:

    Sour, awww, thank you, sweetie. I am fine today back-wise, but the diphenhydramine basically enhances my introversion. Very strange that it does that…

    Yoshi, I’m glad I’m not the only one. Non-verbal days kinda rock, except when you’re forced to be verbal for work.

  7. You have the arthritis? (little known fact: all old lady ailments must be named using the article, “the”) You need to use one of those exercise balls for a chair.

  11. Maman, I don’t have arthritis, I just have that problem where meds don’t even bother to touch my pain unless I take a really high dose. (Thanks, Dad, for passing on that trait to me! har.) Tylenol Arthritis is 650 mg acetaminophen per tab instead of 325. I know it’s a kick to the kidneys, which is why I took the Advil PM last night. If I’m asleep I’m not gonna care if I’m in pain.

    Dawg, we talked until almost midnight! I’m allowed to be sleepy! :pfft: :winks: But, yah, sawwy I didn’t tell you. I’ll try to pep it up for tonight. :love:

    DB, gaaaaaaah. He needs to be taken care of more than I do! And he’ll be here soon. IS IT FRIDAY YET?!?????!!!

  13. Friday, huh? Looks like you’re getting scratched this weekend, too! :winks:

    (Cross fingers for me, I don’t have weekend details firm yet!)

  16. Ladies, you do realize that it sounds like you have something that people don’t want to catch… right? I just want sex. Can we just say sex? Sex sex sex.

  17. No way. For me, it’s more than JUST sex. It’s spring, I want to be *twitterpated*. :love:

    And yeah, the sex too. :angel:

  19. Oh wow, I can totally relate. I bought supposedly NON-DROWSY Tylenol Cold and Sinus and then shortly after took a two hour nap. Yep.

    J.

  20. Sometimes I skip the Tylenol PM or Advil PM and just go for the PM (aka Unisom or some other non-addictive substitute)… especially when I know the drug isn’t going to make any difference on my pain anyway.

    I’m old. Here I am rambling about which drug will put me to sleep so I don’t hurt. Gah. I might as well just take two Benadryl. Or two large glasses of wine. Same effect, but a little trippier. ;-)

  21. Maman cracked me up with:

    Sorry, I just had to comment on that.
