Help Me Get Some Pain Relief!



Recommended Posts

OK, what do you do for instances that require Tylenol?? ? I can no longer swallow pills. I used tip be an avid aleve taker for my TOM and terrible headaches! But, since nsaids are a no no, and I cannot find any liquid adult Tylenol,I just tough it out and it sucks. I've considered contracting my doctor to see if he can rx me something liquid because I'm not sure how much longer I can take this. My TOM IS so bad these days I need something for pain.

Cut them in half or crush them.

If you cut them, put Water in your mouth and then drop them in while you still have water in your mouth. Everything (just about) makes me gag but that way I don't feel, nor taste them as they go right down with the water.

i have have to take one large tablet a day for blood pressure. i find that crushing the tablet up fine and introducing it to my cup of coffee of a morning works really well for me. I havent been able to take much in the way of pain killers but the b/p meds i do have to take daily. I find it works well.

I've bought adult strength liquid Tylenol at CVS. If you can't find it just use the children's. 1 teaspoon has 160 milligrams of acetaminophen so 3 teaspoons is roughly equivalent to one extra strength tablet.

I purchased from a CVS store in my hometown the same as Cindy. And like she stated you could use a childrens brand. Just talk to the druggist and tell them why and they will tell you which one and how much to increase dosage to work for you.

Best wishes and use a heating blanket for 30-40 on shoulders, upper back and even lung area. It will make you feel lots better.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
