its day 3 my least favorite part of college is finally making it to the place you need to go after 30 mins of walking and welcoming the gentle relief until you remember that to get back to your dorm you have to walk 30 minutes BACK

I’m so mad I took my tunnels out to clean them (about 2 weeks out from my last stretch) and scratched inside my earlobe while I was putting them back in and now my right earlobe is all angry and I’ll have to go down a few sizes :-(

can cosign, as someone who fucked all of this up in my 20s living in serious poverty with undiagnosed and untreated depression and trauma and chronic illness, working a physically demanding and soul-crushing retail job for a miserly and pitiless corporation for minimum wage under a string of abusive managers.

i took 1-2 thousand milligrams of ibuprofen almost daily, sometimes more than once a day, frequently without food because honestly i could barely afford to eat.

i can't confirm for you exactly what damage it did to me because i sure as fuck couldn't afford healthcare, but i can tell you it made my already miserable digestive problems worse, gave me terrible stomach aches and cramps and nausea and etc. but hey it mitigated the headaches and the intense neck pain from the drag of my overfilled work apron and eased the constant ache of my concrete-floor-destroyed knees, and again, i couldn't afford healthcare of any kind.

so i made this terrible choice with ibuprofen, uneducated and unaware, for years. and by god did i pay for it the whole time and it sucked the entire time too.

when i finally learned that at least some of the problems i was dealing with every day were either caused by or exacerbated by the absurd overuse of ibuprofen i relied on to function, i cut way the hell back. it meant being in more pain for a while because i had to get my body adjusted to much smaller and less frequent doses of painkiller, but it was absolutely good for me in the long run.

now i make sure to only take ibuprofen when i definitely can't handle the pain without medication, i go with the smallest dose possible for the amount of pain i'm in, and i never, ever take it without food in my belly. (it needs something other than my stomach lining to chew on.)

taking less ibuprofen and in the correct way didn't fix me the same way that taking a truly ridiculous amount of ibuprofen daily didn't fix me, but it sure did unfuck some of the severity of all the fuckedup i've got going on.

ibuprofen responsibly, babes.

Every time I see another ibuprofen post on this site I'm like STOP

STOP

Stop.

Take that after a meal. Take it with a big glass of water. Don't take it on an empty stomach EVER. Don't take it with alcohol. You will destroy your stomach. You will end up with an ulcer. You will vomit blood. I'm not exaggerating.

Yes, you. Yes, it will happen to cute little you. With your cute little bottle of miracles. Ibuprofen really does that to your body.

Hey, fun fact: child safety lids are 2 parts and the outer part can, with enough leverage come off. Obviously only do this if you have no children in your home

I can't understand people that don't like medicine. I'm sick rn and I would replace my blood with Mucinex and ibuprofen if I could.
