I must say, detecting colon cancer would make me considerably less resentful about colonoscopy preps, I had one when I was younger cuz my mom has Chron's. It sucked.
Also, when the Great Episode of Intractable Constipation hit out of nowhere, like, I was on a week long trip and returned looking 8 months pregnant (no lie) )(and thank you Suboxone with your endless half life meaning no peaks of valleys of opiate usage where you can poop) well my freaking Gastro my doc hastily sent me to was a damn SADIST. He was like, "Some of my patients have to do them, many times a day." So there was like 4 days of THAT, just sitting there, doing them, I had a "99" refills written on the prescription and the day I did SIX with no joy AND including some other unpleasant stuff including enemas which in my opinion should be wiped from the face of the earth, well I was about ready to beg for a naloxone shot, which like, would have put me in total withdrawal and I would have been writhing and in pain and well, pretty UN constipated probably, l discovered there was this shot that did that to your BODY, but did not cross the blood brain barrier. I was seeing gastro guy that day but I was so bitter and incoherent it was not going well.
Thank Good for Mr. A he talked the gastro down and had him run it by the hospital pharmacist (they are the best for weird drugs) who was like, "No, you should totally do this actually,."
My
insurance did not pay for it and it was like 200 dollars a shot and I got five. I still have one, LOL. Some of the best medical money I ever spent. So glad to be off that stuff.
I meant to write something DIY related which is *I* personally think THE most exciting time of DIY is in the beginning when you like, are trying new things, everything is new and different, you are discovering new mixes all the time and you are willing to make single flavor testers of something like "fig." I probably would be before I used it in a mix, but a lot o f my new flavors not always.
Although you dedicated single flavor testers provide me a ton of info and I am GRATEFUL fo rit.
