Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 My mito doc told me that tylenol passes though the mitochondria as it works and does more damage to our mito. He recommends ibuprofen for pain/headaches Also, with any headache med, if you take it more than 3 days a week you are most likely causing rebound headaches. 400 mg of B2 taken daily helps some with their headaches if they get migraines. There is also a file in the file with foods to avoid if you are prone to headaches. ann_sh62 wrote: > >this is ann logged in as jasheridan. > >My questions? has anyone now or heard of Tyenol not a good pain >medication for Melas or mito patients for headaches > > > > > > > > > > >Medical advice, information, opinions, data and statements contained herein are not necessarily those of the list moderators.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Not sure about Tylenol as a good pain medication, but we were told by the doctor in Milwaukee who diagnosed our MELAS that we should not take aspirin. He said Tylenol or Advil (or their generic). He really did not specify which was better. I had heard once that Advil is better for toothaches and tylenol for fevers but not sure where I heard it. However, I know that at least one person with mito cannot take I think it is tylenol with out an allergic reaction. Janet Sample new but old this is ann logged in as jasheridan.
