Guest guest Posted December 20, 1999 Report Share Posted December 20, 1999 I can't recall the person who wrote this note on here. It has been that kind of day. :-( Anyway, as far as the person who did write about having severe headaches. I will say this there are migraine, sinus and tension headaches. Sometimes I know when I drink wine or eat a certain foods like strong cheeses I get a headache from that. I personally stay away from Nutrasweet since whenever I have a diet soda made with that I get awful headaches from that. Stress plays a role in it too. Perfumes if used too strong give me a headache. If I don't prop my head up properly when I'm laying down that too plays a role. Since they are severe I would look into seeing a specialist that specializes in people of short stature. A specialist that deal with headaches to rule out its not something else. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2000 Report Share Posted May 12, 2000 Hello Pat, I responded to your message once, but it hasn't appeared yet and it's been over an hour so I'm going to respond again! It is ok to take tylenol. It will not hurt your liver at normal doses. It is only toxic to the liver in large doses. I believe I've read it's ok to take up to 2 grams daily. I usually take either 2 regular or 1 extra strength. Where is everybody?? It sure has been quiet this week. Did everyone go on vacation?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Pat... what you can or can't take depends a lot on the amount of damage your liver has. Tylenol is processed completely thru the liver, while ibuprofen goes more thru the kidneys. But either one is fine, in normal doses. Whichever works for you and is OK with your doctor. My gastro says take what works for me. Tylenol, ibuprofen, Aleve, Midol, whatever. Since tylenol does nothing for me, I stick to the NSAIDS. Everything is toxic to a damaged liver in some way. The rule of thumb I use is " in all things moderation " . Unless your doctor specifies something else, take what works for you. I have migraines too, so I take Imitrex, sometimes Zomig, and Fioricet (sp).

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Hi Claudine, Just read your note about the Tylenol use. My mail has been going into the bulk mail folder so had to go through a bunch. I was wondering if there is any thing else that might help the aches and pains, as the Tylenol just doesn't do much. I really appreciated the article on the potential problems with Ibuprphen. It will make me think twice about taking any, but it seems to work better than Tylenol.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 Dear Pat, Have you talked to your doctor about the bad headaches? My doctor prescribed Vicodin, which is hydrocodone + Tylenol. He felt it was better for me to take this than ibuprofen. He did say he thought is was ok to take pretty much anything as long as it was only occasionally, and not an every day thing. However, the thing that works best for me when I get one of those headaches is an ice pack. I bought one of those flexible, reusable ice packs from the pharmacy. I just wrap it in a towel and drape/mash it into place. You can leave it on up to 20 minutes at a time. 20 on and 20 off. It really works good. If you want to get your doc to prescribe anything take a copy of that article with you. The info that ibuprofen is bad for us heppers hasn't reached most doctors yet. Several years ago I had a root canal done. I had doctors telling me not to take ibuprofen because I had a history of an ulcer, and not to take tylenol because of elevated LFT's. My dentist called a pharmacist to ask what he could prescribe for pain. I was given Talwin NX that time, but I had a really bad reaction to it and can't take it again. I have noticed that I often experience lots of side effects from medications, and will often need a lower dose than most people. I don't know if this is because of my liver or what.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 I wish I knew what to do about headaches. I can't have any aspirin, ibuprofen or anything related to those groups. I have had a severe migraine for three days now. I have had four nose bleeds today along with it. I checked my temp because I felt feverish, but it is only 99.5 which is okay, but I feel like I have the flu. Nothing is wanting to stay down. It is one of those days you would wish someone would shoot you to put you out of misery. I better shut up before I make someone else feel miserable too. I hope everyone else is doing well. God Bless and Take Care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2000 Report Share Posted May 19, 2000 When I was in College we use to get this stuff called Tiger Balm at Pier One Imports it is a really strong mentholated product. We used it for headaches, you put it on your temples and across forehead. I recently saw it at a Wal-Mart. It does work good we would use it when pulling allnighters studying because aspirin and coffee messed up our stomachs. I figure there is a Wal-Mart close by to everyone. It is also carried in Oriental stores...good luck, hope this helps.....Connie --- isqazi <isqazi@...> wrote: > I wish I knew what to do about headaches.
