an awkward question [fail!locked from mikaela]

[nonesodangerous]

As I don't want to waste a doctor's time with something so trifling, I was hoping some of you would be able to help me.

Does anybody have any remedies for aches, pains and general feelings of fatigue?

I'd prefer something simple and easily obtainable.

Tylenol usually does the trick.

[nonesodangerous]

Tylenol?

[smilingtransfer]

Painkillers. I suppose you might have different brands on your world, but I believe the off-brand name is paracetamol.

[nonesodangerous]

And I wouldn't need a doctor to issue them to me?

[lockon2urheart]

Ask Mikaela for a massage?

[nonesodangerous]

I think that would only make things worse.

I wouldn't want to trouble her.

[lockon2urheart]

Somehow, I doubt she'd begrudge you.

[nonesodangerous]

We're both quite busy.

[entthront]

Walk it off and don't be a baby!

[nonesodangerous]

I'm exhausted, Nena. I don't particularly feel like walking.

[entthront]

That was meant for the aches and pains. What did you do to tire yourself out so bad, anyway?

[nonesodangerous]

...I've been working too hard. That's all.

[attorney_at_lol]

Taking some pain relievers and sleeping it off usually works for me.

[nonesodangerous]

A lack of sleep is partially the problem.

[attorney_at_lol]

Oh. Well what about some over the counter sleeping aids?

[nonesodangerous]

...perhaps I should have been more clear. I don't have time to sleep.

[vonkarmas]

How bad is the fatigue? Simple measures of taking painkillers will suffice, the strong ones will help.

[nonesodangerous]

I fell asleep at my desk - I'd say that was bad enough.

[vonkarmas]

How long do you work for?

[nonesodangerous]

It varies from day to day, but on average...

...18 hours.
