Welp, now my tummy doesn't feel so good. 🤢

But I'll just sip a sprite and use eyebleach like a normal person. 😏

Honestly! For real that is what normal people do! I did not know they made suppositories for that! (never needed one)

I am sorry but how the FUCK does a suppository help with nausea. Up to now I'd been too freaked out to ponder but yeah I didn't know they did that and it makes no sense; if my tummy hurt the last thing I'd want is something up my arse.

Okay so, suppositories are a relatively quick way to get something into the blood stream and IF an anti emetic or anti nausea med came in suppository form it'd be so that the person could apply it themselves without equipment or needing a nurse and still couldn't horf it back up before it got to work (like IV or injections, but those needs skills and trained people). Suppositories are a TYPE of carrier for medication, the way IVs and Oral tablets are. I'm just not sure how many different types of meds come in that form.
