I take expired hotdogs, maggots, and clown tranquilizers.

[–] Machinist 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)

[–] SirHery 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rip your kidneys and liver.

[–] Machinist 3 points 1 day ago

Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.

I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.

It is a balancing act. Uclers vs acceptable level of sleep deprivation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Do a sleep study, also, get long action type. When I was injured, I could feel the spikes and they didn't last long

[–] Machinist 1 points 20 hours ago

My insurance is so shitty right now I'm not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It's cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.

Also, can't take most long acting meds since I don't have a colon.

My poor european mind cannot understand the industrial bottle of 1000 ibuprofen tablets for a household.

Here they sell you packs of 20 tablets or something like that.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Would you rather buy 15 pills for $15 or 500 pills for the same price? That's why we buy the mega bottles.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Well I can buy a pack of 16 in Tesco for £0.39

So we're actually paying pretty close to the same amount per pill, just in smaller packs.

They go bad, though? At least my nice white aspirin pills start crumbling and visibly yellowing after a few months. There's no way me or even an entire family could swallow 500 until then.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well but you do get health care with that, so instead of treating symptoms with ever larger doses of increasingly potent painkillers you have hopes of a more structural solution.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Came here to say the same thing, like WTF, why would you need a jar of 500

[–] RizzRustbolt 2 points 1 day ago

Because some of us have had a headache since 1986.

ITT everyone talking about liver damage? It’s tylenol that is harder on the liver. Ibuprofen is harder on the kidneys. Yeah, you can mess with your liver if you take too much ibuprofen, too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Also stomach; NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken on an empty stomach or with alcohol

FFS people go read one article each on ibuprofen and acetaminophen and you'll see most of you are wrong

[–] InSamsara 5 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Hamburger style. I'm not picky tho.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Burger: No wrong way to swallow, feels more legit on the 'ol tongue, twice the quantity of "value size"

[–] General_Effort 13 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Americans may be seeing serious savings in that picture.

I am seeing serious evolutionary pressure on liver genetics.

[–] Mcdolan 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah, Americans are seeing a slight dulling of the pain to get through the day.

Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain't no safety net to catch ya when your name whatever hurts and needed surgery a decade ago.

Take your pain killers and caffeine and get to work you lazy scum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain't no

thin in this world for free. No I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back, though you know I wish I could. There ain’t no rest for the wicked… til we close our eyes for good.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You're thinking acetaminophen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That hurts the kidneys, ibuprofen hurts the liver. You are correct.

[–] TwentySeven 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They're probably thinking paracetamol

[–] luves2spooge 4 points 1 day ago

Paracetamol and acetaminophen are two names for the same thing

I like the kind that comes in a liquid gel cap so it works faster.

my personal experience hotdogs are not as effective. could be their overall size difference makes them dissolve slower. and a smidge more filler maybe

[–] HootinNHollerin 24 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Be careful taking ibuprofen often it’ll cause issues with your intestines like diverticulitis which landed me in the hospital and has greatly restricted my diet and ability to drink alcohol

[–] Jyrdano 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Also damage your stomach and your kidneys if you abuse them daily long enough time.

People pop those like M&Ms and not realize that prescription free drugs are still drugs with all their side effect.

Why would ever need that many??

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Inflammation pain that doctors won't fucking help with. Buy in bulk and then you won't run out for a year or so.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Relief is temporary. Pain is forever.

[–] son_named_bort 10 points 2 days ago

To give to trick or treaters.
