As a chronic pain sufferer im always on the hunt for methods of pain relief that don’t require medication because if I took painkillers everytime I was in pain I’d have no stomach left. But god is it wonderful to have them as an option! It’s 2am and I can’t sleep because my entire body hurts, and so I decide to take some of my only-take-very-occasionally cocodamol and I know that in about 20 mins I’ll be rid of pain enough to sleep. We often demonise pills in a post-wellness age, but I’m so grateful to have them, and no one should ever feel ashamed of taking them instead of holistic remedies.

I am not one to suffer through my period cramps because I believe meds exist for a reason. But, moving from this comfortable place curled up in my bed to go eat something and get the meds sounds like another hellish adventure in this state, even though I know it will help way more on the long run than just trying not to move. Anyway this is more of me hyping myself up to just go do it. Thank you.

Couldn’t be one of those people who gets off on refusing to take over-the-counter painkillers when they have a headache or whatever

I carry around a little grandma-style pill case filled with supplements, Advil, excedrin, Tums, etc everywhere I go and honestly being out and suddenly getting a headache or another ailment and being able to solve it then and there is such a gift to myself and others. Someone says “ouch my tummy hurts” and you hand them a tum and you become their little nurse and everyone is happy.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
