Carbohydrates are needed for our bodies to function, so sugar is a bit different.

The actual chemical. As for adding crushed Benadryl tablets I have zero clue about the concentration and the potential of that to cause damage to the nerves. I was just urging caution.

Careful with this info. Diphenhydramine can cause nerve damage if at too high a concentration: 5 parts whatever to 1 part Benadryl is the typical dilution for local anesthetics.

But, no really

There are these fantastic fruit edibles that I can get locally that taste amazing and are thus quite deadly. I’ve asked them to make them without pot because I would totally eat them all the time.

I have people who Have documented nerve damage and can’t feel anything. I still numb them up, simply because we can have knockdown effects like vagus nerve stimulation even if they can’t consciously feel it. There’s still a response and, it doesn’t cost me much of anything to numb up an area just like normal.

I dare say they have tried.

I’ve taken care of too many toddlers, I guess to trust that.

But I have taken care of too many toddlers to trust that they keep it on consistently, as well.

Typically, the sling is to reduce the chance of repeat injury, not for pain.

And putting it back is an easy process, if you know how to do it. Pain almost immediately goes away, though they need to be in a sling.

Anyone against this has never been the parent of a rambunctious, suicidal toddler. Those little buggers are fast and deadly curious.

Yah. That stuff is so addictive.

I have to set an alarm or I forget to take it in the morning. I crave it so much I FORGET TO TAKE IT WITHOUT REMINDERS.
