    Don’t go to the ER for dehydration. If it’s really that bad, find an IV lounge that can just give you an IV bag with some vitamins and maybe some meds.

    It’s like $150-$200, which I know is still expensive, but you don’t need insurance and it’s a quick in-and-out.

    When that dehydrated, injecting liquids is way more effective than drinking them.

        Yeah, it’s actually kinda wild because the first time I went in, something about it felt illegal. But nope, they’re perfectly fine and a great way to treat dehydration, hangovers, migraines, general pain, nausea, etc. Anyone can walk in and use them.

        They’ve personally saved me several times when my migraines have gotten to their 10/10 point because the meds hit so much more effectively through IV than orally.
