Zen and the art of ’self medication’

Working on new pics of the blog starlet…please be patient ; )

Late yesterday afternoon, I felt pain came on fast and strong, it’s a fairly common womanly affliction but usually there are warning signs. This time – none. it hurt so bad and so concentrated in that small area just a above that multi-functional pleasure center that I needed relief and needed it fast. I have a high threshold for pain but that doesn’t mean internally I’m not screaming or begging someone to just hold my hand, yes, I am a bit of a baby when I’m illin’…

So, I did what any woman thrown beyond her limits would do, I rummaged through the meds and found my coveted pills, I bought them in Mexico on the cheap since I am a self diagnoser. They’re 500 miggies of pure relief, the usual dosage is 250 mgs/day. I downed one and for good measure took two of an OTC pain reliever (the back of the box said no more than 8 in a 24 hr period, ok, I’ll remember that). I mentally told myself that in twenty minutes life would be better, it wasn’t I took 2 more of the OTC’s…and told myself another twenty…

It didn’t happen so, yes, Dr Zen tossed back another 500 miggie mega-pill…and another 2 OTC’s for good measure. I remember rationalizing this move with a ‘why wait and dose for 3 days when I can be good by morning’ thought process. I passed out face first about 9-ish, and when I woke up at 1:30am the pain was gone. Oh, I was so relieved. I walked to the bathroom, and oh about halfway there…ugh…overwhelming nausea made me sit right on the floor mewling like a kitten. It was awful, and I have a total aversion to vomiting, so it was extra freaky. I thought, why do I do this kind of thing to myself? I made a mental note to stop mega-dosing in the future…

But I know I’ll do it again if I’m ever in that much pain.

Do you do anything to avoid pain, physical or otherwise? & did you have a nicer night than mine?
