Anyways, Absynth(sp?) will take care of you for a night or two lol Hmmmm, I have tried searching for drugs begin with "Ab", but none of them show similar pronunciation as "Absynth". Don't worry, it is just me being curious only. :p Cheers :)	Renmoo (66)
571097	2007-07-22 01:21:00	I partially fainted while having a hot shower after some strenuous excercise, and bashed myself against the side of the bath. Yeah, right... you expect us to believe that? Go pull the other one, your missus has been beating you up again hasn't she. :lol: Guess that means no jiggy for a while now then. Oh bugger. :p :D Just kidding. My sympathies. The Boss has cracked his ribs a few times and the way he carried on it was almost as bad as childbirth so it's not something I wish to experience. Getting saucer-sized bruises on my legs after a crash is bad enough. :(	FoxyMX (5)

You might need to throw a teaspoon of nice manuka honey into that tea too - depending on the sweetness of you 'tooth' . . . " is wrong . It's "D" you need for calcium uptake . Just remember that there are 9 different "Ds" too . . . some not for humans . And, in spite of James statement, you need NSAIDS to lower the inflammation to reduce the "fever" as it's called in the injured site . It's just for keeping the pain to a tolerable level and you can be a little more active while you heal . If you had a punctured lung, you'd know it really soon . Ever had a pleural infection? The pain is excruciating . Same for a punctured lung after a day or so . If you haven't presented with a doubling-over and cannot-straighten-up pain from the bruised or (unlikely) broken ribs since this morning, you are likely also out of the woods to speak from that possibility . Drooling blood and gurgling each breath is another set of indicators too . Actually the use of Hydro-corticosteroids are usually the last resort . They are used to remove the inflammation too . . which is just for ambulation of the pt . . . . . but they are damaging to the osteoclasts in you take it too many times or for too long of a period of time . The pt must be active, although on a lower scale . Pneumonia and gastric distress is usually the result of prolonged bedrest . . especially in those who MIGHT be geriatrics . C'mon, James . . . NSAIDS are not counter indicated in the least . Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is not a very likely condition if the pt can talk or breathe at all . Sudden shortness of breath, cyanosis (turning blue) and pain felt in the chest and/or back are the main symptoms of a punctured lung and I don't think anyone with that would be typing on a keyboard if they had it unless they were posting their last will and testament .

571102	2007-07-22 02:04:00	Have you tried preying to God or your Intelligent Creator to heal you? Surely that will work??? Should there be a God? I don't think that you would PREY on him. The Devil might PREY on you though, for your uncharitable remark. Which I presume was 'tongue in cheek' ? PJ.	Poppa John (284)

571104	2007-07-22 03:04:00	I don't care what it says its for, the important bit is: Each tablet of pirophen contains 10mg of codeine, 325mg of paracetamol and 325mg of aspirin and comes with 20 tablets per box . I tell you, Codiene is marvellous for broken bones . Absinthe, at least the original stuff had a reputation: At the height of this popularity, absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive, psychoactive drug; the chemical thujone was blamed for most of its deleterious effects . By 1915, it was banned in a number of European countries and the United States . Even though it was vilified, no evidence shows it to be any more dangerous or psychoactive than ordinary alcohol . Wormwood extract can cause renal failure and death from excessive amounts of thujone, which in large quantities acts as a convulsive neurotoxin . Its useless for pain .	pctek (84)

It's non-prescription, but it is controlled ... you probably have to show ID and sign for it. Codeine (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codeine) has recreational uses as well as pain relief. The constipation comes at no extra charge. :thumbs:	Graham L (2)
