Hmm, 8 days of diarrhea and vomiting cannot possibly be food poisoning, can it? 🤔

Requesting stronger pain relief?  Stronger than what?  I've always just assumed that they a plane is maybe, hopefully, if you're lucky, stocked with ibuprofen or acetaminophen but probably not both, and that if your pain is any worse than that, then you're just screwed.  I hope I'm wrong, honestly, but I would be surprised if they're even allowed to have anything stronger than that onboard.
@plutarch Yeah, I very much doubt they have anything stronger than "take two ibuprofen instead of one"
