Happy Anniversary to Final Fantasy XV

I had no idea when I was pushing that car in the beginning how much this game would impact me. (And I can't hear "Stand by Me" the same anymore)

A MOUSE BAR DURING PROHIBITION WOULD BE CALLED A SQUEAKEASY!!!

this came to me in a vision btw. the vision was of a little mouse bartender yelling, "cheese it! it's the cops!" and all the little mice flipping the bar and turning it into a fromagerie.

I must not buy. Buying is the purse-killer. Buying is the little-dopamine that brings total bankruptcy. I will face my wishlist. I will permit the limited time sale to pass over me and through me. And when it has expired I will turn the inner eye to see its impulses. When the mania has gone there will be nothing. Only $ will remain.

you ever read a fanfic and just sit back and think…someone wrote something THIS good… and then just….published it on the internet….for free…..

idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

[wahoo-shem]

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

[nonbinary-witch-sam]

scientist when you don't take the medicine they developed to help your pain

[fandomsandfeminism]

As long as you are taking a SAFE dose of it, then it's *good* for you. Pain is bad for the body. The inflammation from prolonged pain can worsen chronic issues and make it harder to heal.

Ibuprofen is best for pain that has inflammation, while acetaminophen doesn't help with inflammation but is more broadly effective on other types of pain. As long as you are taking the recommended dose, you can even take them TOGETHER, since they have different mechanisms of action.

You do need to be aware of how much and how often you are taking any pain medication. Overdoses can be very painful (even lethal.) And if you are in chronic pain often enough that you need more than the safe dose, then you need to look into other medications to manage that pain.

(Also, if you are specifically taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol for your go-to pain management, getting some NAC and taking that with it reduces the risk of overdose AND may strengthen the effect.)

[bemusedlybespectacled]

One other thing: NSAIDS (ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen being the three big ones) can cause digestive issues with chronic use, including stomach ulcers. That doesn't mean "don't take them," it means "if you're at the point where you're on them all the time, every day, constantly, you should talk to a doctor about either reducing that risk or switching to another medication that doesn't have those side effects."

[solarianvoidthearoace]

I don’t have the source for this table anymore but I felt it should be added to this post.

[gold-finch]

Some recommended doses for adults:

ibuprofen: 400 mg single dose - can be taken every 8 hours (the maximum daily dose is 1200 mg)

acetaminophen: 500 mg single dose - can be taken every 4-6 hours (the maximum daily dose is 3000 mg)

aspirin: 500 mg single dose - can be taken every 4-8 hours (the maximum daily dose is 4000 mg)

naproxen: 220 mg single dose - can be taken every 8 hours

It's always best to start with the lowest effective dose. I'd also recommend taking NSAIDs after eating a small meal to reduce gastric irritation.

If you're taking high doses of OTC pain medication for more than a couple of days with no decrease in your pain please get in touch with your physician.
