Re: watch out for to much med.

[Guest guest]

Please be careful about taking too much OTC anti-inflammatory meds.

I had migraines for years, and Kaiser gave nothing for it. So I tried to

cover the pain using rotating brands and doses of aspirin, acetomenophen, and

ibuprophen.

Thought it was gonna be ok, but ended up becoming flagrantly allergic to all

of them.

That was about 15 years ago. Still cannot take acetamenophen. Asperin is

dicey. Able to use ibuprophen in small doses occasionally only.

These things will hurt you if you take too much, too fast for system to clear

out the byproducts of metabolizing them. Please check with your Dr. about

how much is safe to take. Using them to " just to function " is not worth the

price you might pay for doing it. It is better to take the time off and let

the headache pass.....might even try drinking a couple glasses of water with

lemon or lime juice in it, to see if that helps it go faster.

Blessed Be
