A handbag full of rainbows

[janeyo]

I'm a cheap date, get squiffy on a couple of aspirin lol

[zazen999]

I used to take those....after my Op.

I felt all floaty light...great stuff.

Good for long aeroplane journeys...

I apparently had the nurses in stitches once when they gave me morphine when I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy - no idea what I said but they all came to visit me the day after my op, and brought me their spare chocs!

And a dentist once told me I said the funniest things when he put me under for an extraction.

maybe some people are just susceptible to seeing / saying things when squiffy?

Not that I would encourage drug taking, but last week was a pretty stressful one at work, and I had a mega headache by Friday. A relative (in the medical profession) recommended "Syndol for tension headaches" to be taken with a bottle of real ale or a stiff gin!

I don't think I have ever felt so relaxed! Completely stoned would be a better description - I'm amazed that you can buy this over the counter without a prescription!

I have the occasional migraine and was out of migraleve once. Steve had sme painkillers that he used for his back and offered me one, I was wary cos I didn't know what it was but was desperate for relief so took it. I was off my face , and really didn't care about the migraine after that!! Next morning accused him of trying to poison me! (I reckon that was my handbag of rainbows)

Of no interest to you chaps, but there used to be a ladys painkiller that even just taking a couple, as per instructions, with no alcohol, used to send me wappy! Apparently, theyve now changed the content of them!

I remember those! Was as high as a kite!

That's it BW...Paramol. I take it on holiday as it gets me through long haul flights and the first night at any new hotel.

And Express by Holiday Inn at Watford...as it is just by Watford Junction and if I'm staying over for work, I need a good night's kip.


Too much and I get really really depressed though.

he he he he
Nice analagy
I only get the handbag full of rainbows on the 2nd lot of morphine (it was bliss to reach that point on the day I broke my ankle ) but being teetotal, I only wash my painkillers down with 7UP

[Flummery]

As long as the handbag full of rainbows isn't followed by the technicolour yawn, you'll live!

Blimey Piglet have you calmed down yet? Just read some of Bubblewrap's link & you should be careful. Good job they weren't the suppostitory form they apparently used to make, you don't want a 'handbag full of rainbows' up there!

They don't like it up them Mr Mainwaring.

I've just been put on Lyrica (pregabalin), which says no alcohol. The doctor said it's very expensive, and she's started me on a low dose, with the idea I up it if I can stand the side effects. More than 1 in 10 get somulence, difficulty concentrating and lightheaded. Apparently these effects usually subside once your body gets used to the drug. So far I've got the side effects but not the pain relief. Perhaps I should have a glass of wine after all, if I can stay awake long enough to drink it
