RE: [RC] painkillers and sensory perception - LaFollett, Megan
Title: Message
That’s because most over-the-counter
painkillers do NOT dull your normal senses. That’s NOT how they work. Most
of them interfere with various steps in the pain-sensory pathway, before the pain reaches the brain.

Hmm, how about me without pain killers is
a lot harder on the horse - off balance, bouncing, compensating, than me on
painkillers. My eyes may be crossed, but I'm posting balanced <G>
Seriously, I can't do stuff like Vicodin
on horseback, but I've never had Advil interfere with my sensory perception.

OK Jody:
You asked for it and here it is;
Every one declares that in endurance
competition the horse/rider team is every thing. They are inseparateable, they
are a unit, one with out the other and there is no ride.
Then many riders wax eloquently about how
the welfare of the horse is paramount. How they will go to extremes for their
horse and how well they care for it.
THEN...The subject of human DRUGS... is
broached and from the sounds of things, at least a modicum of posting ride
campers indulge in the use of fairly strong pain medications before, during and
after a ride.
No one, not even superior me, can function
in a completely rational manner while under the influence of these pain
killers! Your senses are dulled, i.e. PAIN KILLERS!! pain killers dull the
senses hat is how they dull the aches and pains that some riders believe they
suffer.
How can you do this to your horse? It is
not in the best interest of the horse to NOT be fully aware at all times while
riding.
Jody, you asked for it and the flame is
lit.
