I physically can't, not for any length of time. The only reason I posted is that everyone else is miserable and unhappy in this house, if not as sick as me then even sicker. I had to say something, anywhere.
When I'm able to swallow my own saliva without throwing up, I'll consider it. The only reason I'm here now is that the doctor's office and pharmacy open in half an hour and I want to leave right this second; I just have to wait for mom.
It's meant to do the opposite -- it's basically an advanced version of drinking milk or Coke like your mother probably told you to do when you were a kid to neutralise stomach acids, except what it does is it coats your entire GI tract and shields it from acids, eliminating nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In theory. Doesn't work if you throw it right back up before ten minutes have passed. I think you're thinking of something else.
You don't understand. I have taken (rather, been given) Pepto perhaps half a dozen times in my life. Shortly after taking it, I have, without fail, thrown up.
Oddly enough, in all but one case, within 15 minutes of throwing up after the Pepto, I've felt remarkably better.
Ah. Yeah, I did miss that, sorry. Dopesickness on top of stomach flu pretty much shorted out my reasoning processes.
That is interesting. For my part, I've never thrown up as a consequence of withdrawal before, yet until I went into withdrawal the stuff worked fine. So I have no clue what the hell is going on here. I just got home from picking up a script, so at least part of it's over, but fuck, man.
I almost never actually get sick so this has been monumentally frustrating. And as a related sidenote, if you ever become a pain patient for any reason, guard your meds like a fucking hawk.
I also have another, more private one, but I'm not sure if... well, if you're thinking of e-mailing me about stuff anyhow I'll talk about it there. Or were you just looking for it in reference? Either way is fine, but I want to know which one I should leave logged in before I lie down and pass out. :p
Hey there - I was wasting time at work looking at the bad tattoo group and came across something you posted. I really don't remember the content of the post, but what struck me was how well spoken you were so I decided to snoop around your journal a bit (hey, I just don't seem find a lot of people on these things that can spell AND put a complex sentence together at the same time - and when I do they tend to be way too pretentious for me). To make a long story short, from what I read, we seem to have some things in common so I thought I'd see if I could add you as a friend and read your journal without feeling like I'm skulking and perhaps put in my two cents every now and again in the form of a reply to a post. I think there was a question in there somewhere, so, ?

No need to ask. If you find me and my life interesting for whatever odd reason you might have (I've honestly never understood it, but I've learnt not to question it much anymore :p) feel free. Just know that I make no claim whatsoever to being a decent person. I am not. I'm a very bad person doing his best not to damage everyone around me. Or, at least, those who don't deserve it. Which attitude demonstrates how poorly I often do at the task. e.e; I've been told I'm excessively perfectionist regarding myself, though, so as always draw your own conclusions. For what it's worth, I'm always interested in meeting and learning new minds, so, hey. If you want to talk to me on AIM I can be reached at Feral Justice.

Alrighty then. I would love to chat via IM, however, I don't do the IM thing anymore. How about email? There are a few things I'd like to ask that I don't particularly care to post.
I added you since you seem so interested in helping me..hope that is ok. If not no biggie, I will take you off. Sent you an email by the way but dunno if you got it.
I work hard to help any drug user I can. It's about the only 'cause' that I believe/feel all three of the following things about: a.) It's actually a genuine crisis/worldwide continuing atrocity; b.) I won't be unknowingly helping my enemies; c.) and it hasn't been corrupted to a point of personal despondency and uselessness such that my participating wouldn't actually, directly help much, if at all
( ... )
Well I am no saint and never claimed to be...but I do try to give people a chance and if someone offers to help me, that is a very rare and precious thing to me. There are so many countless times I can count that people have left or ignored me when I was begging someone, anyone for just one fucking shred of understanding. So forgive me if I have offended you by trying to get to know you better. I don't force myself on anyone, so I will leave you be and wait for you to decide if you want anything further to do with me. I did as you asked, emailed, and that is all. Ball is in your court now. Don't feel obligated to help me if you don't wish to.
Naw, naw, that's not what I meant at all. Just, I wanted to warn you about me. That's all. I worry enough about the people who're already attached. As I said if you want to watch, you're perfectly free to. I don't mind one way or the other. (Though I admit I'm always curious about new people, especially other users. I'm just depressed and wary at the moment.)
And I'll jump the e-mail as soon as I get my brain together. I'm hoping to get shrooms today; that'll improve me cognitively a great deal. If I had any amphetamines I'd use 'em, but I don't. Oh well.
