Dear Ibuprofen,
I know you can't read and are nonliving but thank you. The last eight days have been very painful but you've been there for me every six hours, except that time I slept through my alarm to take you but that was my fault.
You have helped me stop crying countless times from excruciating pain. You made the swelling improve very quickly, after about only two days. You don't give me nausea and dizziness that other stuff gives me. You work faster and longer than any other meds do. You have helped me so much to survive this agony. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rene

this was so sweet and earnest! Maybe you should let the weird out more, Rene, because I think you let yourself go a little bit in this one (in a good way!!)
This was so relatable after being sick since Christmas I've been leaning hard on the Advil and tylenol
Ibuprofen is a wonderful drug for sure. Happy it took your pain away for some time. I have a relationship with Ibuprofen too:) Love and hate- gives me heartburn now.
I hope you heal quickly and your pain goes away!
So happy Ibuprofen has been helping you so much ❤️
Glad your little 'friend' Ibuprofen made the pain more bearable... hope you're soon painfree!
I feel your pain. I remember when I had major surgery 2022. Ibuprofen was my best friend. Great story.
💙
Terrific!!! Hope you are feeling better!!!
