The Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

[Keroin]

Up, waiting for pain meds to kick in. There is nothing wrong with my apendix, liver, kidneys, or gall bladder. So it's one of two things, a crohns flare up or something ELSE wrong with my uterus. They shot me full of pain meds, and sent me home: I gotta make an appointment with my GI and my OBYN in the morning. In the meantime I fucking hurt. ON vicodin my pain levels are between 5 and 8 (out of ten).

Hugs, Gracie.

First law of vacation packing: Put out everything you plan to take and all the money you plan to spend. Then get rid of half the clothes and take twice the money.

*giggles* if I could double the money I would, but because this trip was a last minute thing, I'm on a budget.

I never bother packing shampoo, toothpaste and all that stuff, i just buy it when I get there and throw it out before coming home. Saves a fair bit of space in my bag.

I also pack then remove at least 3 tops and one pair of jeans because I got sick of packing things and never getting around to wearing them also they have washing machines so just take advantage of those and not having my favourite top is not going to ruin my holiday.

I travel a fair bit for work and I can make a week away with carry on only these days. So much easier than dragging heavy bags through airports.

Shampoo and stuff would cost more to buy it there. Besides that, with my hair so short it only takes one or two of those little travel bottles to last me a week.

My problem is, I'm not 100% sure of what this trip will hold. I'm sure that because it's over a holiday that I'll be with his family at least one of the days, maybe two or three, so I have 2 'family' outfits. My little black dress because it can be dressed up or down easily. My problem then comes in with the pants/skirts. When I was there before he said he wanted me in short skirts the whole time, but when I got there he kept me bundled up like a pollar bear. Well I had only packed 3 pairs of pants, so after the 3rd time of wearing each of them I was feeling icky. Of course I'm more outspoken now so I could just tell him I need to do some wash. I was so shy that first trip.

Are they able to order them into the store so you can try them on? I hate the too small quadruple breast look.

They won't order them unless I buy it. I could buy it and then return it if it doesn't fit, but most of the time I don't want to deal with that fuss.

I keep considering going to get some REAL goddamned bras (instead of my cheap ass target ones ), as well as some underwear for the boy's enjoyment...but lingerie stores make my skin crawl. My inner tomboy is nauseated by all the lace and frills!

I'm kinda lucky in this area. Jounar really isn't into lingerie, he'd rather I was naked every second possible....which is why he is laughing at my trouble in packing.

I'm sorry to hear this, Gracie. :: gentle hugs :: There's not much you can do to enhance the effects of vicodin (hydrocodone/acetaminophen), but taking it on an empty stomach will make it act a little more quickly. One thing I *have* noticed with my chronic severe back pain (which requires up to 40mg of hydrocodone a day and sometimes more) is that the "migraine" formulations of aspirin, acetaminophen (or sometimes ibuprofen) and caffeine seem to sort of "spread out" the hydro's pain relief effects, i.e., make it last longer and also make it apply better to other pain I might have (headache, aching hip/knee, etc.).

I hope they figure out the issue and correct it quickly!

I have to put my pharmacist hat on here with a warning. Please really watch the amount of vicodin you take. It has 500mg (or some formulations have 325mg) of acetaminophen. The total daily dose from ALL sources very short term is 4000mg a day of acetaminophen. For anything longer then a week the maximum should be 3000 mg per day. If other meds that are metabolized by the liver are taken concurrently then 2400 mg/24 hours is the maximum.

Be very, very careful of acetaminophen toxicity. We see unintentional overdoses all the time n the hospital.

Yes, do plan on washing, that will help keep down the bulk, and do pack warm clothes. You're going to a part of the world that makes the west coast of Canada look positively balmy!! If anything, keep the sexy time gear to a minimum, since, as you have explained, he likes you best in your birthday suit anyway.

And don't forget to bring your essentials in your carry-on. Toothbrush and paste, change of underwear, etc. Luggage gets lost all the time and sometimes takes days to make it back to you.

Have you checked the luggage limits and such for your flight? A lot of the regs have changed over the past couple of years. Many airlines are charging for checked bags now, if you fly economy. And they're going to make you take your shoes off at security, so wear a pair that are easy to slip on and off.

Man, I sound like a nagging mother. I just know what a pain in the ass air travel has become.

 

[Cattypuss]

Which reminds me - last time I flew (back in December 2011) I vowed to get a non-wired bra for flying in. I always wear wired bras but I am sick of being frisked by big rough women cos my bra set off the metal detector. That Dec flight to Spain was the last straw - my boyf standing to one side practically wetting himself laughing at me as I was treated rough in public by the Very Big Woman.

Thanks, es. This is actually something I'm quite aware of, since I tend to do extensive research on every new Rx they give me. I guess there are *some* advantages to being a bit AR

When I first moved to the upper Midwest, the area-wide VA formulary *only* stocked 5/500 (5 mg hydrocodone/500 mg acetaminophen), in contrast to my previous VA area, which had stocked (and provided me) the 10/325 formula. It took two years, and a lot of bitching and complaining to everyone who treated me, plus a substantial number of e-mails and snail mails to the district administrators, before they finally saw the light and caved, and now include 10/325.

The previous (5/500) formula was borderline dangerous, given that I was prescribed a standard 40mg of hydrocodone per day (and more prn), which came out to 4000mg of acetaminophen... the recommended max daily dose. On days when 40mg of hydro a day wasn't enough, I *was* exceeding the 4000mg top limit for acetaminophen, a point I clearly and frequently made to my providers and the area administrators. Fortunately, I had at least a couple of doctors on my side, and they apparently applied some pressure from the treatment side, getting other doctors to agree in writing that 10/325 was necessary in the formulary. It probably didn't hurt, too, that one of the top dogs in the pharmacy side pointed out to admin that 10/325 was also, in the long run, *cheaper* to provide for patients who needed more than 5mg of hydro per day as well as having less acetaminophen while retaining its enhancement effect.

(For those who don't know, acetaminophen and certain other non-prescription analgesics are added to hydrocodone for pain-relieving formulas, and certain anti-cough medications are added to it for cough relief. Strangely enough, codeine, hydrocodone and many other opiates were first and primarily designed to be used to relieve coughing (anti-tussive, whence comes the name for Robitussin and a lot of other cough syrups). It was only later - and apparently accidentally - discovered that they were very effective against pain.)

Though *I* was and am aware of this (acetaminophen toxicity) issue, thank you for pointing it out for others who may be prescribed Vicodin on a short-term or new basis. It may help them avoid the risks you described.

I'm now on a standard consumption of 40/1300 per day, with max dosages on really really bad days of 60/1950, well inside the recommended daily max for acetaminophen. (To be honest, there are days - as many as I can stand - where my total is 20/650 or even on really really GOOD days, 10/325, because I want to avoid building up any more tolerance than I have to. Morphine doesn't work as well for me, besides having side effects that I don't enjoy; side effects also keep me away from oxycodone, so I'd prefer to have the one drug that has proven to be relatively effective and mostly side-effect-free to continue to be available to me.

Heh... sorry for the long-winded lecture. Comes from the unrepentant teacher in me, even though I gave that field up >15 years ago.

*SNORT* Hate to tell you this, CP, but I'm pretty sure that just about any male PYL would have been standing there laughing in a similar situation...

Ha! For some reason - even without wire in the bra - I have gotten the "pat down" on the last three flights I've taken. I must look suspicious. Though in each case the females in question were very nice about it.

But I've got the security process down to an art. Zip boom bang...and I'm on my way.

Oh, that's the other thing Wenchie, give yourself LOTS of time to get through security. On our last flight, in October, L and me arrived at the airport 3 hours before our domestic flight and barely made it through on time. Crazy!

I'm glad you commented on this (and I'm glad S_W already knew). So many people (medical practitioners included) don't think about this at all.

As a pharmacist, do you know anything about the FDA movement towards banning combining opioids and APAP into one pill? Our veterinary pain specialist here told us that there was a movement towards this, but I haven't heard much else about it. It doesn't affect us a LOT, since pretty much the only specie we can give APAP to is dogs, but I'd still like to know if you had more up to date info.

I just wish I could get hydro by itself here My doctor is pretty stubborn about prescribing combos, which means he always ends up giving me straight oxy. Oxy and I do not get along. It doesn't knock me out totally or anything, but I hate feeling all fuzzy and woozy. I don't get any side effects from hydro at all. But it seems I can't get that by itself (at least not here!)

HA, try having some piercings in covered places.

 

[graceanne]

Thank you, everyone. I got ahold of my doctors and neither can see me until next week. The kids are being awesome, though - totally stepping up to the mark. They picked up the living room and dining room for me this morning, and D vacuumed the floor.

Man, I sound like a nagging mother. I just know what a pain in the ass air travel has become.

*giggles* No, K it's great. My mom is so scared that I'm going to go one time and not come back that she is only so supportive. We can't talk about my trip in a whole lot of detail or she clams up. It's great having all of you here to remind me to pack my tooth brush.

And a large reason why I am having so much trouble is the luggage limits. Last time I went I was allowed 2 checked bags for free. This time I'm only allowed one.

I put all of my corsets in my carry-on, because i would be pissed if they got stolen. Also my shoes, and at least 2 outfits, though it's looking like nearly half my clothes are going to have to go in the carry-on.

And I'm going to be wearing my favorite jean jacket and my winter coat. I know it's going to be cold when I get there, I keep an eye on their weather. And it's unseasonably warm here, which will make it feel all the colder.

As far as sexy underwear, I don't even own any besides the corsets, so that's not really a problem. It's actually the fight between pants and skirts that's getting to me.

Which reminds me - last time I flew (back in December 2011) I vowed to get a non-wired bra for flying in.

HA, try having some piercings in covered places.

This is my fear. I really don't want to have to admit to my fellow travelers that my nipple rings are setting off the buzzers. I have been assured that they won't, but we'll see. Maybe I should go bra-less, that would make my nipple rings obvious and I wouldn't have to actually say it.

But then I did have a conversation the other day about my nipple rings and how my 4 year old niece saw them accidentally and decided to tell her daddy that she wanted them.

I thought about wearing one of the corsets to save some weight in the bag. Then I remembered when I went to court for my divorce I wore a corset under my suit and had to be frisked because of it.

Ha! For some reason - even without wire in the bra - I have gotten the "pat down" on the last three flights I've taken. I must look suspicious. Though in each case the females in question were very nice about it.

I'm planning on 2-3 hours. It's a small airport and every time I've been there (mom and I go through security when my brother travels to see him off. Since he's military, we're allowed to go all the way to the gate with him) it's never taken more than 20 minutes to get through security. I've studied and know what has to come out of my bags and how far undressed I have to get, so the stuff that has to come out all goes in one pocket of my backpack, and I take my jacket, hoodie, and shoes off while I wait in line.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

If *I* worked for TSA, you'd get the pat down every time I saw you. Full bore VIP pat down. Probably even the complete strip-down, cavity search pat down. But then I'm a dirty old man, and I've seen pics of you.

Yes. Mine did. They wand me, give a confused look, and I roll my eyes and say "my nipples are pierced" I don't know why but there's something about saying it out loud, in front of other irritated travelers that is humiliating, not a big fan of humiliation.

guess I'll be looking for plastic bars.

I'll just have to change them when I land in Dublin. He doesn't like the bars as much as the rings, and I'd like for him to see my piercings for the first time, in person, the way he thinks they look hottest.

Either that or just get used to the idea of anouncing it now.

ETA: What metal are your rings? I know some metals set them off and some don't.

They used to be steel but ummm after an incident, I had to have them repierced, they used titanium. Haven't traveled with titanium. Maybe it doesn't set off the metal detectors?
I thought, why don't I just own it (say it loud and proud) I'm not really embarrassed that they're pierced. I think it's pretty. But then, I don't need a creeper following me around an airport

Now watch, I'll go through the trouble of plastic bars and my bra will set it off.

I know the FDA is moving to ban all combo APAP products, not just opiods. The more serious problem is that so many OTC cold and sleep products have APAP. I am not sure where they are on that at this time.

In my hospital the only combo products we have allowed are opiod/APAP products but we are in the process now of removing those from the formulary. The only exceptions will be hydrocodone/APAP 5/325 and liquid oxycodone/APAP.

It's too bad hydrocodone is not available as a stand alone product. I can tolerate it much better then oxycodone, also. Of course if it were a stand alone it would be a schedule II medication and there wouldn't be refills.

Removing the APAP from combo OTC products is a solution way over due.

I don't get refills on my hydro anyway. Do you think the ibuprofen combos will stand? It's a silly combination because there's no synergism, but it'd keep it Schedule III, wouldn't it?

It's overdue and I think it's a good decision for consumer safety...but I am going to be irritated when I need to start buying multiple drugs for one bout of illness ANYWAY...I'm just going to have to buy sudafed AND tylenol instead of Sudafed with APAP. or some various permutation of this. It's going to be more expensive and make my medicine cabinet much more cluttered.

It is my understanding that titanium does not set off metal detectors. I have a pin in my leg that is titanium and it does not set off detectors; however it is internal as opposed to external piercing.

I wonder how long it will take CM to see this and tell all those ladies who have asked about finding the right bra, "See? I told you so!"

So that's why your bras never fit!

Pinched flesh, unsightly bulges and backache — the wrong bra can be misery. But according to a new report, eight out of ten of us are wearing badly-fitting bras because the traditional method of measuring bust size is outdated and just doesn’t work.

According to academics at the University of Portsmouth, using a tape measure to find your bra size is a waste of time because women’s bodies have changed dramatically since the system was invented in the 1930s.​

There is, of course, much much more in the Daily Mail article linked in the headline above.

Welcome to the long-form version of the explanation I offer clients 40 hours a week. 85% of women are in the wrong size, and putting a tape measure around a body [in the wrong spot] often throws a band size off by 2-4"... which throws off everything else. And that's not even accounting for cut, materials, vendor to vendor differences, country of origin...

 

[bhndblueyes88]

Hmm. my chicken breast didn't cook all the way through. and did I put it back on the stove? no. i'm lazy. and compfy at my desk.

And salmonella won't kill me. I'll just have raging diarrhea and drop 10 lbs. that's a healthy way to lose weight, right? (I'm joking)

[graceanne]

I have to put my pharmacist hat on here with a warning. Please really watch the amount of vicodin you take. It has 500mg (or some formulations have 325mg) of acetaminophen. The total daily dose from ALL sources very short term is 4000mg a day of acetaminophen. For anything longer then a week the maximum should be 3000 mg per day. If other meds that are metabolized by the liver are taken concurrently then 2400 mg/24 hours is the maximum.

Be very, very careful of acetaminophen toxicity. We see unintentional overdoses all the time n the hospital.

When K had his knee surgery they actually warned him not to take more of his hydrocodone/acetaminophen than was safe because of the tylenol. I so rarely take more than one or two that it's not normally an issue, but the last couple of days I'm having to be very careful and watch my med intake.

On the flip side, last night I slept well enough to miss my next dose, and when I woke up I cried trying to get out of bed and woke K. I feel bad for waking him, but he got up and got me my pain meds and the heating pad. If I'd been feeling better I'd have kissed him. I wish they'd just give me the 5 mgs of vicodin, without the tylenol, so that I wouldn't have to worry about the stupid tylenol.
