I had to stop for now. Asthma & my hands felt like they were on fire from all the #thistle punctures.

I’ve rubbed #NumIt onto the back of my hands. It’s working! Phew!!

It’s got #lidocaine & #prilocaine in it.

@stroughtonsmith Get some #Lidocaine, sleep on your belly, avoid further strenuous activity.

Also, I’ve never had any delay or denial in approval of #opiates from insurures, public or private.

But trying to get safe, non controversial #lidocaine & #menthol for #pain, I’ve had #insurance deny or delay approval most of the time. Other safe options like #massage or #infrared therapy are never offered.

Government & medical institutions are eager to punish, even imprison doctors & patients trying to treat pain, but zero effort has been made to increase use of safe alternative treatments.

Random questions for any folks getting laser hair removal or electrolysis (thermolysis, galvanic, or blend)

1. What numbing cream do you use, if any?

2. If you do use it, what do you use to cover the numbing cream?

For example, our answers would be:

1. We used to use Tattoo Numbing Cream (5% prilocaine, 5% lidocaine), but we've acquired some J-Cain (29.9% lidocaine) to try out for our next electrolysis (thermolysis) session.

2. We just use basic cling film (aka plastic wrap).

We'd love to read your answers :FediverseSymbol:

If you're buying numbing (prilocaine & lidocaine) cream from https://www.tattoonumbingcream.com, the best active discount code currently appears to be:

... which gives you 15% off.

The previous best code (MYSTERDEAL) no longer seems to work sadly.

If you know of a better working code, please do share it with the community :PinkHeart:

Yeah, I'll just sit under my warm blanket with #lidocaine patches on my knees while I watch hours of #TikTok comps on #YouTube because I wasn't up for watching a movie.

Blame it on my ad(h)d, baby.

It’s #PharmPhriday! We have personally been affected by the injectable #lidocaine #shortage, so today will be about lidocaine! Some cells signal via action potential. When there’s sufficient stimulus, sodium enters the cell, potassium (also positively charged) exits, then the cell membrane returns to baseline “resting potential”.

Sodium enters through a sodium channel, and what does lidocaine do? Block sodium channels! No sodium entry, no action potential, no pain signal.
