Does…does she know you can buy vitamins at the drugstore over the counter? Or does she just have super special invisible deficiency that only infusions will treat?

As a general rule, Vicky's anaphylaxis is triggered by anything that is not very expensive and does not require her to be waited on.

Oh lordy, she has to take a train and maybe an Uber. This is it, guys, this is what kills her: everyday activities that 99% of people, including the disabled, navigate weekly if not daily.

This tells us something important, though. She's in one of the world's great cities. She can't get a doc to see her about this very real solution to her very real problem anywhere in the five boroughs? Why? Answer: she needs to go to a quack who's happy to help her run a scam on her insurance.

I learn so much from the medKiwis

I've been on this site since pretty much the beginning and it always amazes me the breadth of experience that is on this site.

You ask a question and chances are some Kiwi is a professional in that field and will give good advice.

Try that on Reddit and see what you get.

my cat (12lbs) actively fights through it even on two capsules. any suggestions i can talk to my vet about?

You could ask your vet about trazodone, or combining trazodone with gabapentin, or even trying xanax (alprazolam) instead.
Xanax isn't as sedating as trazodone, so it really depends on the level of sedation you're comfortable with for your cat.

combining trazodone with gabapentin

This is the "nervous little dog" special, seems to work pretty well but definitely results in an animal who acts and looked Stoned AF.

We have tried a few meds for our kitties, and found the trazodone/gabapentin combo works best.
It can be disconcerting if you're not prepared for it, seeing your pet completely off their tits.

Thread tax: Victoria is a beefy cow and I would not sex.

Exactly. That's why veterinarians love it- puts Fluffy right out while he is getting prepped for his procedure, helps Fido relax and think of happier times when the neighborhood pyrotechnics are sending him into the Bell Jar zone.

But you should see the vast array of human diseases it has been claimed this shit can "treat." Migraines and neuropathic pain are on the more plausible end, given the mechanism of action, but the past 25 years have also seen it deployed at every conceivable psychiatric and vague-malady disease. It's a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder! It's a breakthrough for borderline personality! It treats intermittent explosive disorder! It's the cure for fibromyalgia and long covid! Hot flashes! Itching! Tinnitus (yeah right, nothing helps tinnitus)! It slices, it dices, it does whatever you need it to do!

Well- I guess a drug that can zonk out even the most high strung shepherd on the block while Uncle Johnny is setting off the illegal fireworks he smuggled in from Wisconsin would probably do some good for people with just about anything taxing their nerves.

Gabapentin is endemic in my prison. Almost everyone is on it for unspecified "pain", and the doctors hand it out like candy. Doesn't help the fights, but apparently gives a lovely euphoria when snorted.

Some people don't absorb iron pills very well (the body can be incredibly finicky about absorbing iron for a lot of reasons) and need to have iron infusions. Vicky obviously learned this fact recently and decided she needed to be one of these people, whether she actually has a deficiency or not.

Iron infusions must be munchie heaven come to think of it, they usually take at least 90 minutes and you need to have a nurse physically nearby that whole time just in case you have a bad reaction, so it's a whole block of guaranteed attention-time just for poor sick Vicky!

IIRC testosterone tends to raise production of red blood cells, and that's part of the reason so many pooners end up stroking out. She's probably drowning in iron already and is just going to fuck up her liver.

Better yet, if you are (or claim to be) reaction prone they will premedicate you with pred and diphenhydramine, maybe even by IV. Oh happy day!

If she really and truly has low ferritin while taking T, I'd wonder about other issues. She shouldn't be menstruating and all her butt studies keep coming back kosher, so where's that blood going?

 

[Jimmy Dean Bowl]

This sounds remarkably similar to Ubermunchie Kelly Ronahan.
She frequently had low ferritin and was always delighted to be having transfusions, leading everyone to suspect it was self induced.
This was pre-leg holes.

I was just about to say something like this! That thread is full of people asking where her blood is going.

She was complaining that her PCP was insisting she have bloodwork, but Victoria cannot wait for bloodwork because she is just so fatigued and so she is trying to arrange the infusions through another doctor who she has clearly shopped around for.

So my guess is that she doesn't have low ferritin at all and that her bloodwork is fine. She seems too lazy to actually be draining her own blood, it doesn't match her general potato lifestyle and attitude. She just wants to sit back and get an infusion or two (and is too retarded to think about the possible consequences)

Well, consequences aren't consequences, they're grifting opportunities. And besides, the magical medical people can just fix her right up! ... Right?

 

[Breadbear]

Unlike Kelly, Vicky doesn't have a port. She can't just drain her blood without a lot of work and leaving evidence behind, either by needle marks or other.
She wouldn't drain her blood anyway. She's a very low-effort munchie. She just doctor shops until she finds one who believes or doesn't want to deal with her dramatics.

The Amazing True Story of Gabapentin.

Gabapentin: it sure does something! Ask your doctor for some, it’ll probably help.

Does…does she know you can buy vitamins at the drugstore over the counter? Or does she just have super special invisible deficiency that only infusions will treat?

She pretends that she can’t absorb vitamins if she takes them orally like a normal person.

Wouldn’t iron infusions not be instantaneous anyways? I agree that she’s too lazy to actually drain her blood, she’s one of the laziest munchies.

They work pretty quick, like any IV infusion. Basically starts helping right away but will reach peak effectiveness about a week after your treatment.

 

[The Judean People's Front]

I think she wants iron infusions so she can have one of those bad iron infusion reactions. Or "have" a "reaction" I should say.

I think usually nowadays it's dexamethasone instead of pred, which is an improvement, but does run the risk of giving you a 36-hour case of the hiccups.

Unfortunately it can also cause a depersonalized rage state.
Which is absolutely fucking terrifying .
