Spinal Tap

No, not the 'band', the medical procedure also known as a lumbar puncture.

You may have seen this on 'House', where I distinctly remember them portraying it as painful.

Well, I had one, and it wasn't painful at all.
It was just like getting blood drawn and I think the hardest part may be the mental image of something in your spine.
This mental image didn't phase me.

They told me to lay down for a few hours after (too easy) and drink coffee/cola to help with any headaches/nausea. 
I drank cola and felt fine.

If you may need to have a lumbar puncture, don't worry too much, it isn't that scary. :)

Rating: 4/5

Dimetapp - Daytime/ Nightime

Yeah, the packet says "Nightime", not "Nighttime" or "Night Time" :s

This isn't a beauty product per say, but it was the only thing keeping me sane for a while.

My germ-riddled sister came home with a common virus, which when I caught it, it entered a muscle/nerve injury I had/have in my right arm/neck/back/brain and put me in incredible pain. Mind-numbing pain.

I took paracetamol and a bit of codeine, but it didn't quite cut it. Some derps did suggest antibiotics, but we all (should) know that they can't do anything for a virus.

Viruses are like M.C. Hammer to antibiotics...

I picked this cold and flu medication because the clear capsules were the prettiest and reminded me of 'The Matrix'

You take the blue pill, you may get drowsy.

They did help take the edge off like nothing I previously tried and I'm really glad I got them.

They didn't make me nauseated or give me any weird side effects (hey, you may not be so lucky).

ALWAYS check with a pharmacist/doctor if a medicine is right for you! I know what I'm on and what I can't mix it with, do you? (Your drug combos, not mine... don't you be stalking me XP)

Price: $11.99
Effectiveness: 4/5 (Sweet local anesthetic would have been great! Still would be, arm ain't 100%. Stupid thesis)
