U awake, baby?

I am… and I had weird dreams… it’s not important now when I think about it…

Awww…

What r U doing?

Getting ready for the concert…

R u in pain?

Sigh… I’m just thinking… when to take the painkillers…

Ummm… isn’t Panadol like every 4 hours?

Is it?

I thought that’s the instructions on the box…

That’s from TGA Australia website.

Oh. Okay. Thanks babe…

I usually just have 500 mg to get me through period pain during a work shift. It’s just one Panamax tablet.

There’s so many… names…

It’s just different brands. Panadol is the same as Panamax. They’re both Paracetamol.

But I’m in America now. The Tylenol box doesn’t say paracetamol.

It would say acetaminophen which is the same.

Exactly the same?

Babe…

Ahhh. Okay…

Those are NOT the same as Nurofen.

No?

No. I’m not a pharmacist, go talk to a pharmacist if you want Nurofen.

I don’t want Nurofen. I might be allergic to Nurofen. Last time I took it I had a really weird reaction…

Mmmm… so ur scared of acetaminophen because it sounds like Nurofen?

Well I wasn’t sure… but thanks, now I know…

Darling I’m sure the US pharmacists could’ve told u that as well…

I’m not physically visiting their pharmacies, the assistant just went to grab a bunch of boxes of whatever they could get.

I’m not sure if that’s the safest approach, my love?

We’re alright. The assistant just asked the pharmacist “is this okay for back pain?” And they said “yes”

I feel like this should be a disclaimer of a totally fictitious conversation and any readers should definitely seek personal professional advice about their own pain and get it properly assessed…

Hehehe… 😅 so anyways… okay I guess I will try 500 mg before sound check then 1000 mg before the concert?

I don’t know… my love… I don’t want to say anything because I’m not a pharmacist.

And I’ve watched Tik Toks of Americans visiting Australia saying “why does the Panadol here make me feel like I’m high?!” And then Australia pharmacist stitching that explaining we actually have higher dosage per tablet than America? But I could be wrong, I can’t even tell u the handle of that pharmacist Tik Toker and I haven’t checked these facts…

Can u go check now?

Ummm…

I guess that’s the dosage…

Okay… I’ll figure it out…

I think… u should get some milk thistle tea… for ur liver… or just take milk thistle tablets or capsules as well…

Oh?

Babe!!! In this FICTIONAL SCENARIO I’ve already ordered u milk thistle tablets and you’re taking those as well, okay?! Ur not taking them at the same time. Ur taking them at least 4 hours away from each other. 

Ughhhh this is a lot of instructions 😵‍💫

That’s why… u shouldn’t get any advice from me… Go see a professional in person! I don’t even know if ur on bipolar or ADHD meds in which case, I’m not sure about the milk thistle!

Ughhhhhh 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Fine. Don’t take anything. Just breathe through ur pain.
