Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

you just need more of the stuff
in my case they didn't plan for it, as I didn't have any close family that needed anesthesia that I knew of, and I don't take any relevant drugs and rarely drink booze. It was my first surgery, so I didn't have any prior experience.
I woke up two times during surgery (luckily no pain, just annoyance), and to quote my anesthesiologist "we needed to give you the elephant dosage"
They didn't believe me regarding my drug usage. They even asked my mom and sister if they knew if I take drugs, while I was still waking up.
Later I stumbled across the stories of redheads that had similar experiences, and while I don't have red hair, I did a dna test and I inherited the gene from my dad
There are not big studies looking into the matter, annoyingly, but there are small sample size studies that tend to point to a connection being there
But this the also explained why I need quite a lot of alcohol to start getting drunk, and weed not working that well on me (reasons why I rarely use them)
This is very interesting and I appreciate you sharing your story. The human body is so complicated. I am not a high tolerance person when it comes to drugs, across the board anyhow, but I definitely always felt like when I've had opiates they don't hit me like they do others. Tylenol 3 for example was like I didn't even take anything, whereas my partner says she feels high from those.
Edit: I just thought about something else. When doctors numb me for dental or dermatology reasons, they usually have to give me multiple doses and they often seem shocked that I'm still feeling what they're doing. Maybe related also?
definitely. especially if you're not regularly taking pain numbing meds and drugs
I just remembered, that I had a minor surgery on my foot as a teenager, and they also had to dose the area multiple times, because I still felt something, even though they said that it should all be completely numb. Never thought much of it, but probably the same reason
Yeah I take next to zero drugs besides weed and alcohol. I actually don't like taking any pain meds unless I'll be suffering because I feel like pain is my body giving me useful info and I don't want to silence that. But of course if I'm having surgery that obviously doesn't apply :)
