Soak it!

   Discussion: Soak it!
Bender · 19 years, 8 months ago
What's the strangest thing you've had to do for some kind of medical problem or other kind of healing-type dealie?

I'm not going to say the nebulizer, because that's common...

I'm going to have to say soaking my nose in warm salt water and Gordon said I looked like an alien and Doug kept trying to make me laugh and yeah.

Soaking my nose.

You looked just like Danny Thomas and Mary Tyler Moore when they were taken over by beings from the planet Twilo.

I had to walk around for months with my guts hanging out of a bag stuck to my side. That's pretty weird.

danny thomas *was* a being from the planet twilo, tho.

and i'd say that the prep for a colonoscopy is pretty odd.

Doesn't everyone spend their evenings drinking a gallon of plastic and going to the bathroom?
soul groove feline Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
i could only drink about 1/6th of the gallon.

so the doctor told me to put the plastic powder into applesauce and eat a whole lot of that instead, then drink a lot of water.

plastic-flavoured applesauce. i will never look at applesauce the same way again.
sheryls Back · 19 years, 8 months ago

ew, when you were little, did your mom put crushed chewable tylenol into your applesauce, therefore making it tasted like cherry-apple-flavored ass?

blech.

hkath Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
My mom tried everything to get me to take pills, including crushing them into a spoonful of jam (still can't eat very much raspberry jam), or opening them and pouring the granules into shredded wheat (bad idea). I couldn't swallow a pill until I was 14, which led to a lot of unnecessary hospitalizations.
sheryls Back · 19 years, 8 months ago

i can swallow just about any pill - always could, that was never the problem. when i was really little i practiced with red-hots. :P

..i was weird. my sisters couldnt swallow them, though :D

there werent children's chewables around? or do you mean prescription drugs?

nate... Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, I've never had a problem with pills either...

Bender Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
at my peak, I could swallow any pill dry.

I've gone soft.
Gordondon son of Ethelred Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
I was going to say exactly the same thing.
sheryls Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
i can still swallow coated pills dry. but if they're uncoated, i need at least a sip of something.
Annika Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
*shudder*� uncoated pills make me gag.� I can't swallow uncoated pills.
Beth Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
Yeah, coated pills are pretty easy, and some uncoated pills are easier than others. I was on my way into an amusement park this year, and I took an uncoated�motion sickness pill without water. Those things are the worst kind of pill I've ever had. I swear it made my tongue swell up, and I had a bad taste in my mouth for an hour, even after I�drank a soda.

Hmm. I used gummi bears to pracitice.
When I first started, I bit them in half first.
Then when I got to the point where I could get whole gummi bears, I was good to go with most of the 'scripts I'd get put on.

I hated liquid meds with a fiery burning passion of hatingness.
So I was eager to get them to switch to giving me pills asap.
goovie is married! Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
i drank most of it, but then i started throwing it up almost immediately after swallowing it.
Jody Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
Use prescription steroids.
Bender Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
all they do for me is make me hulk out.

but able to breathe.

but hulk out, nonetheless.

When I was a kid I had a plantar wart on my foot. My doctor made me yell at it to go away every night.
Annika Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
Wow.. That's really weird.� lol. Why didn't I have doctors like that when I was a kid?
Mollie · 19 years, 8 months ago
'cause if it does, I had brain surgery. Afterwards, I had a drain out of the top of my head, full of blood. That was strange to wake up to.
I guess even if it doesn't count, I had it.
Nik Chaikin Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
I had brain surgery too, but no drain in my head, just 48 staples.
sheryls · 19 years, 8 months ago
no one ever believes me that i know how to get rid of hiccups, because the method sounds like a load of hooey.

get a glass of water with a straw (or have someone else there to tip it to your mouth, because your hands will be occupied). then plug both ears.� plug them�as well as you can with your fingers. �drink the entire glass or until you cannot drink anymore - dont stop drinking to breathe. once you've drank long enough to have hiccuped again, you'll be cured.
Annika Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
I think maybe the cure for hiccups is to focus on something else because that's what all these hiccup cures seem to be about.
Bender Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
my grandmother told me to make sugar water and drink it from a glass with spoon in it and balance the back of the spoon on your nose while doing so.

screw it. that was parsed weirdly, but you know what I meant.
Beth Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
Naw. To stop hiccups all you need to do is put your index fingers in your ears and lift up a little bit. I think it works half the time.
Samantha · 19 years, 8 months ago
once, for allergies...this specialist guy had me inhale water infused with cayenne pepper to "help clear out the sinuses"...

safe to say, it did... but also left a first degree burn in the end of my nostrils O.o ...

never again.
Bender Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
eat/drink honey with cayenne in it.
sheryls Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
cayenne is also a terriffic dog repellant :P sprinkle it all over your plants and around the bases of trees you dont want your dogs near. o.O

when my retina detached in 1989.

This included sleeping on my stomach with my head parallel while i slept.

I had a gas bubble in my eye and it had to push the retina back.

Doctor fucked it up anyway in buffalo - so the 6 weeks was for nothing.
Prinut Back · 19 years, 8 months ago
wow...that sounds painful...and weird.
