    Comfortably numb, I suppose.

    They put me on amitriptyline at the lowest dose but doing bugger all. I told the doc I'm gonna self medicate with booze, they didn't argue.
    Pain itself is a medical condition. You should demand/politely ask for something that works, without putting as much strain or your liver or giving you a hangover. There's no real reason for anyone to suffer pain nowadays, though it often requires effort from the doctors.

    I remember that one - the alt text is "If it were a two or above I wouldn't be able to answer because it would mean a pause in the screaming."
