Have a bad headache all day. Tylenol isn't working. I have my first day back at work tomorrow and I am so down about it and stressed. I just really need this headache to be gone!

Is there anything else we can take?

I am told no more Excedrin which was my go to. Tylenol has not worked for me either. Maybe sleep will help Good luck and feel better!

I had to finally call my doc and ask for something to help with headaches/pain since tylenol is the worst. They gave me tramadol.

Try a hot shower and steam yourself for 20 minutes or longer. I find that often helps. Hope you feel better.

I'll try the liquid.

Isn't Tramadol kind of habit forming? Can you take it at work and be normal?

I fractured my back last year and have taken tramadol every day since. It isn't habit forming and doesn't make me loopy. It's my miracle drug!

Maybe if I took it everyday? I rarely take It. But needed it for incision pain I was still having 2 weeks ago. Besides ibuprofen, it's been the only thing to help with any kind of pain or inflammation. I've obly taken maybe 3-5 pills since I got it filled a couple weeks ago.

Oh, and I have only needed it at night, so I can't comment on the drowsy part.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
