At the beach on a perfect winter day, banana / dulce du leche ice cream from Luna's Deli (best i ever had) in my hand.
Midday and the sun is gentle on my skin (not typical BBQ under the UV orb). Sparkling blue green water. Butterflies.
This is heaven.
I used to fly to russia annually. Always purchased a pack of Baralgin for $5. In 2023 they ceased local manufacturing and sourced Indian-made Bral.
Bral doesn't work for me at all. Supposed to be slightly weaker than Baralgin.
1/3 of a Baralgin tablet takes my pain from a 9/10 want to pass out, vomit, scream, cry, sit in the bathtub for an hour under the shower head
To
2/10 pain. Manageable. Almost normal.
I never take a full tablet. I don't want to build resistance so always take 1/3. I try to go without sometimes just to test myself and I can't the pain is too intense.
I have painful endo most cycles. Baralgin saves me from excruciating pain. Every. Time.
Illegal in the country I live in.
I have told COUNTLESS researchers / scientists, doctors, surgeons, advocates. All of them look at me with a glazed look in their eye not actually interested in an easy solution. More interested in funding something like surgeries.
Anyone else rely on Baralgin to manage this chronic condition?
Any recommendations? Desperate for some motherland grub

How do we have such beauty and such poverty? It's tragic.
