Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Hi, I am new to this list, but thought sharing my experience might help reassure you a little. Pre-WLS when i was pregnant with my second child, I had debilitating migraines. My OB sent me to neurologist who put me on Tylenol 3. I took it throughout my pregnancy with no side effects to the baby..

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 , Oh, thank you for sharing! That really did make me feel better! My hubby keeps telling me it is okay to take it, but I know he doesn't want to see me hurt... and I guess it IS better to take it than to stress with hurt... that will probably stress the baby more, huh? Again, thanks for sharing... you have made me feel a LOT better! Hugs Sharon Korta said: > Hi, I am new to this list, but thought sharing my experience might help > reassure you a little.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Jane, I've never been told not to take Advil (ibuprofen). And I do take it whenever a situation arises that I have to, say for a headache I can't get rid of. I wonder what the reason was that your doctor said no advil.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 MB I think the combination of conditions and other meds combined with quantity and frequency of Advil changes the recommendations drastically. There are many contraindications. I would say the one thing it does remind us all is be sure every time you see any doctor and they ask for all your meds and vitamins and supplements you take, be sure to include everything. If you take something as needed and average once a week or once a month, just say that. Each specialist you see may have unique information that is relevant. There is nothing universally safe or universally bad. I've even been told I could take a couple of tylenol or advil for a headache, up to four in a day, but not repeated. And my pulmonologist never gave an advil warning. For me its the nephrologist. Also, makes me aware that had I been taking it (which I wasn't) once every week or two, I might well have not listed it. There was just a long term study of ordinary multiple vitamins and basic vitamins such as the B Vitamins and Vitamin C and Vitamin E completed. The results showed no benefits and some negatives. However, much of the medical profession objected and said we don't care, we know that the body needs these vitamins, even though it would be better to get them through diet. But, it does show that things we have assumed for years may or may not be valid assumptions and if the medical profession can't agree, then how are we to know. It's sort of like foods. I don't know that there is a single food out there that hasn't been called bad for us at one time or another by someone. So, we read it all and never eat again, which would probably be a greater mistake. We just gather information, inform and talk to our doctors, and make best judgements. Like you, I'll be interested to know what reason Jane was given, if given one. > > Jane, > I've never been told not to take Advil (ibuprofen).
