Good buzz. Actually , the NSAIDS suppress the imune system as regards
attacking bubbles as invaders and in the whole process of "inflammation"
which shunts blood away from an injury site. A heavy dose of NSAIDS
subverts that process , which is what I want in case I screw up.

Keep in mind that the practice of mixing NSAIDS and of over dosing is
not recommended by the manufacturers, although they have yet to come up
with a good reason why not to do it. I find that Piroxicam in double the
higest recommended dose plus Motrin in 1.5 times the dose at the same
time is like magic, but then I am not even remotely concerned about any
effects of this on my body, but would not recommmend doing this to
anyone who is concerned, but then anyone who does 18,000 foot cave dives
or any of the other things I do for kicks is not exactly concerned about
"consequences".
