Naproxen inhibits your stomach’s ability to secrete its protective mucus layer (as do similar drugs) so it hugely increases risk of stomach ulcers and worse due to damage from your own stomach acid, which is very powerful. (Also has effects on small intestine epithelium turnover if I remember right? I might not be.) So drinking shitloads of whisky as claimed, which also increases risk of ulcers and other GI issues, would mean you’d probably get ulcers if you were taking naproxen and drinking. Could explain the predilection for bland slop maybe?!
Alcohol metabolism uses up a lot of the liver’s working capacity, for want of a better term, and many commonly-prescribed pharma drugs are at least partly metabolised by enzymes in the same group as some of the key booze-metabolising ones (cytochrome p450s), so alcohol has adverse interactions with huge numbers of prescription meds. Definitely contraindicated with ADHD meds of any stripe, as they’re mostly stimulants (certainly Jack’s are) and stimulants + booze = increased heart rate and blood pressure so can lead to stroke or heart attack quite easily. Especially if you’re taking either or both to misuse levels.
The best one in our story though is tramadol, which is an opioid and therefore gets you off your face in high doses, as famously alcohol also does (though through different/complementary pathways, so you really wouldn’t be cognitively functional if you were taking high doses of both together, never mind constantly online and stringing together shite flowery prose like our Jack. You’d be incoherent and dopey at best. Tramadol is also a central nervous system depressant and can easily cause respiratory depression even at much lower doses than Jack claims she was taking. As alcohol also can. And take together they are responsible for quite a few Someone as tiny as her really would be dead as a doornail if the claims she made in her Guardian interview were even slightly true. And I think that’s one of the things that’s screwed her the most (“40 tramadol and a bottle of whisky”) because it’s SO outlandish that a reader wouldn’t even need spidey senses to wonder if it was a load of bollocks.
Can’t remember buying the sideboards though, they just turned up and perfectly fit into every last corner of her “meagre” home“I suspected I might not wake up again”
when? You suspected it *as* you knocked yourself unconscious? That’s a great memory for the split second you injured yourself while off your face…
BIB - that would be a great thread titleKnew the weeks after that interview would play out this way- steady swings between living my best life toot toot decorating plans an please don't cause a small fragile wilting one anymore pain. Phony cow.
An wtf was that thing of telling her followers to patrol her mentions and tweet the fake timeline of events at anyone with questions. Y'kno the 1 where she admitted drunken frivolity, such larks as spending other people's charity donations on herself. But only for 7 years! Calling people up to do Jack jury duty. Eat shit. Or 1 of your slops. Same thing.
Thank youmost people are lovely of course. You just remember the horrid ones! I get it maybe once a month. I have cauda equina syndrome so I often can’t feel my legs. I was also badly affected by covid, blood clots in my lungs caused a strain on my heart. Aren’t I lucky I still work full time and have two kids etc (who reap the benefits of queue jumping at theme parks. It’s not all bad ) so I get annoyed with Jack using her ‘disability’ as a poor me excuse and attention thing. We’re disabled Jack we still have accountability, it’s not a carte Blanche to be a bad person! The world owes you no more than anyone else!
Anyway. Thank you once more - you are a total angel for helping others with the nightmare that is PIP application and doing far more good for those who need it than Jack has ever done.
Not tramadol, but I once took a prescription drug which convinced me a perfectly ordinary table was going to fall through the solid floor below. So I spent a long time with my arms wrapped round it to save it. And keep it still. So still.As an autoimmune and connective tissue tissue veteran (and have stories of all the glorious side effects and injuries along the way), the worst drug of all was Tramadol. I took one due to a really nasty shoulder and collarbone dislocation. Just one. And I sat down.
I spent the next two days laying on the floor trying not to fall off. Still in pain, but my brain was sliding towards in my skull and pulling on my eyeballs every moment of the day, so that was far, far more painful than the state of my left side. I've never touched the things since.
Hooray - the Twatinum Jubilee!
I am starting to suspect you’re mainly here to get all the thread title nominationsyou’re very good though, please have yet another nom from me x
Could we paraphrase it to "Tatinum Jubilee"? In honour of all of the tat Jack has hoarded (and we'll all know the real meaning stillNo swearsies though!
One of my cousins had a really rough time with tramadol - similar to what you describe - after a surgery to pin her shoulder and swore she’d never take it again (As an autoimmune and connective tissue tissue veteran (and have stories of all the glorious side effects and injuries along the way), the worst drug of all was Tramadol.

RA medication can impact the liver and kidney function, that's why regular blood tests are important to monitor not only ESR and CRP which are inflammatory markers but also to keep an eye on how well those organs are performing. Pretty much all of the RA meds you're advised not to drink alcohol and consultant advice in my experience has always been if you do to drink it sparingly as you don't want to cause further issues.I'm sorry about your daughtershe sounds very brave. I wonder if any frays know, what effect does alcohol have on arthritis medication, Naproxen, ADHD meds etc. Not a good effect I suspect.
Thread title nom pls‘Emotional Support Sideboards’
He might well have asked. There would have been lots snipped from the original transcript, some of which was snipped by Hattenstone, other bits by a sub-editor. I'd be interested to know if any of them were incriminating or legally dodgy.Thinking back to the Hattenstone interview - the problem with it was/is that there’s no follow up questioning, and it’s exactly that that allows bullshitters to flourish - they can deal with a raised eyebrow and a sceptical look; they can’t deal with a follow up question. Anyone can deflect with one answer. It’s *always* the follow up where you can expose lies. And that’s what he didn’t do. I was kind of pro the article at the time, but in hindsight, he didn’t get to the story
She had to sell her hands to pay for more emotional support sideboards
