  Just took my last L-Lysine of the day/night.  It's after 3 a.m.,  so another day has started.  :autism:

My new NSAIDs are terrific, in that they do remove most of the pain and the stiffness, but they mess up my stomach. My tummy hurts. :(

  I hope somebody figures out soon what is causing the pain, so it can be cured ( ? )  :hug:

I hope so too. I met with my GP and convinced her to refer me to a specialist. That might take a while, though. Everybody's on holiday.

Did you ask for stomach protection meds? All NSAIDs can fuck up your stomach.

Yes. 

Aside to odeon - maybe take them with something like yogurt? or buttered toast?

I did. These are worse than the last ones, though.

I've tried but to little avail. Well, not yoghurt but toast.

It's not the effect of the NSAID entering the stomach, it is what the NSAID does to your system. Would you get it otherwise than orally, the effect on the stomach would be the same.

Time to call your doctor. Ulcers are not what you need right now.

I'll call her. I thought the tummy ache was a common side effect, though.

No I haven't. Don't have any for another 2 hours, when the surgery opens to go score my scripts.

Just two of them, a 5ml rig full to near saturated solution of morphine sulfate, and a few caps of chlormethiazole base (an old-fashioned sedative/hypnotic/anticonvulsant, most usually used as a specialist med in alcohol detox, but its pretty much like the better of the barbiturate family, rather than at all benzo-like, got some squirrely physiochemical properties, smells funky, eats plastic, and old fashioned, but nevertheless I got scripted the stuff [on request, as an alternative to benzodiazepines, which I really can take or leave in general] for myoclonus)

Fucking love the stuff, very effective downer in general, and I have only had two maybe three major seizures in all the years since I got the chlormethiazole added to my script, and both were set off by a bad reaction to too large an IV or IM dose of 3-methoxy-PCP.

Just dropped a couple hundred mikes of clonidine, and am about to toss down 100-150mg cyclizine (ick! tastes awfully bitter and generally horrid), as well as just unpacking some oxycodone IR capsules for a second painkiller shot.

So I've not taken everything, but still, what I have, is making me feel very relaxed, sleepy and chilled out, not to mention that gorgeous rush that comes on injection-use of morphine. Mmmm, that rush, its just delightful.

Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

There we go, 50mg oxy in me, only things remaining are a proton pump inhibitor, tizanidine (a muscle relaxer, and a bleedin' strong one at that, same pharmacology as clonidine, but less of a hypotensive agent, and much stronger as a myorelaxant), raniditine (going to have my GP change that last one to cimetidine, to take advantage of the inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P450-3A4, in order to retard the anabolism of my morphine and oxy script, and allow higher in vivo concentrations to persist for longer, without actually TAKING any more oxycodone or MS)

And about to take a couple of swigs of gaviscon, I've a bit of heartburn.
Otherwise I feel fucking lovely.

(feel free to try feeling me, if your A-autistic, preferably Kanner's, and between the ages of 14 and about 60-ish, and are C-good looking, and D-ideally really spazzy.

And yes, I've taken nearly everything.

(by that I mean, some of all my meds, not 'got my meds and scarfed the entire three boxes of painkillers, along with the tubs of tranq caps, myorelaxants the moment I got them home')

Lol. I JUST this moment woke up from a deliciously deep, warm and relaxing nod that I've had going on since earlier afternoon; only to come back to the land of the awake, and realize I still have a mortar and pestle full of unshot oxy and morphine solution that just needs to be drawn up into a syringe, have a needle attached, after that and filtration etc. is done, then shot.

I will sleep lovely tonight :)

Not yet, nor did I medicate household.

Did treat the cats against fleas though.  :orly:
And picked up new meds from the apothecary yesterday.
