today is "juice tastes like poop" day. I thought i had pink eye, so i went to the dreaded doctor. She's thinking it's a sinus infection, which I should have just self diagnosed lol I'm a doctor aren't i?! oh, im just a scientist lol. I think this is more of a "my body feels like poop kind of sinus infection" blah.
my poor juices
Hope you feel better soon.

It just all depends on tolerance levels. I have been on several hefty painkillers at once on occasion for my spine injuries.

Yup, especially for chronic conditions. I've got 6 meds that are PRN for pain and/or muscle relaxers... any one of them would knock out most healthy people. Me, I can take all six, still be in pain, and nowhere near sleepy. And that's *with* always taking a month break from each after every 3 month cycle on... that's always a barrel of fun, but without doing that, *none* of my meds would work at all by now. Hate needing them, hate taking them, hate that I get tolerant to them... but life without them is much, much worse.
I don't like it either, but one I will never take again is Oxycontin. I made the mistake of deciding on my own to stop taking it and I was a basket case for about six weeks afterwards. All the rest I can take or leave but that one was bad.
Hope you are doing well!

I hear you. A *huge* part of the reason I cycle off my pain meds on a regular basis is because I'm trying to avoid *ever* having to take Oxycontin, and that's exactly what I'd be looking at in another ten years or so if I just kept upping what I have now as my tolerance increases.. so it's down to me to do whatever I can to make sure my tolerance *never* increases, and the only way to hit that reset button is to just not take them for a while. I try to make sure I'm only off one at a time, but sometimes I miscalculate... those are the *really* bad months. And for all that, as you and I have previously discussed, chronic pain sufferers still get treated as drug seeking... it's ridiculous.
I'm hanging in there, by my fingernails, it's starting to feel like... nothing major, just this weather doing me in physically. Too much cold and rain... one at a time, I can handle, both at the same time feels like someone's taking a hammer to all my joints at once. One of these days I'm gonna find that little
and hit him over the head with his hammer. 
Don't think anyone was upset. Personally, I just didn't want to get into a discussion that happens over in the general forum all the time, and often gets heated.
I find this particular thread has a refreshing lack of hotheads and an encouraging number of reasonable folks compared to any other forum I've ever been in. I skimmed that discussion too, only because I've seen it all before and it looked like the questions asked were being answered so there wasn't anything to add. Definitely not upset here either though. Better to ask and get answers than to believe everything you hear. I quite like that there's no such thing as a "stupid question" on this particular thread... it's a nice change from the rest of the internet.

You and I, we can tell how cold and wet it is by the number of creeks and groans our bodies produce in the mornings.

I have posted here more in the last 2 months, than the last 2 years on ECF for exactly those those reasons.

I don't take anything personally, have a great sense of humor, and it takes an awful lot to get
me mad. That being said, once I'm mad watch out. But I'd make sure everyone knows it.
Oh heck, it easy to get you mad............. I'll just send you some more snow.I don't take anything personally, have a great sense of humor, and it takes an awful lot to get

Beware the honeydew. Mine was born 18 days ago and still tastes like Chems. Last time I tried it was about 4 days ago and it was starting to develop a honeydew flavor but mainly as an aftertaste. It's there but I guess it takes a very long time for it to take the juice over.
I've seen others say that on this thread, that discription of chemical taste makes me think that finding a way to warm it some with the cap off, might help.
Heating pad works to a degree. Space heater with temp control works much better. Finally resorted to the latter on my Sticky Bun to evaporate the alcohol before sometime next June. As always with devices that produce heat, never ever leave them unattended, of course.

It's coming Friday and I'm not amused.
But. I see 50's in our future. Woohoo.
That is one thing about the high plains of Texas, we don't get a lot of snow but it gets colder 'en peathunder.

I like the Cantalope, the Honeydew not so much.
Both are over 2 months old and I haven't tried them in weeks.
I'm loading a pair of evods when this butterscotch is done.
Tonight the honeydew'll coat my sink drain if it ain't all it should be.

Careful with that Oxy. My brother-in-law's in the cemetary because of that ....
