Headache. Big-time. It didn't help that I woke up at 4 and couldn't go back to sleep. I s'pose the low barometric pressure that brought us this lovely winter storm doesn't help. I long for the "old days" (about 4 months ago) when I would let myself go to the Wal-Mart Ibuprofen bottle and take 4 tablets at a time. (Sigh!) Fortunately, I figured out that those things weren't doing me any good for the long-haul. (My stomach started screaming at me.) After our beloved Cindy Olson (chiropractor par excellence) told me that new research has revealed a strong connection between ibuprofen and heart disease & cancer, it's been easier to say no to Advil and its kin.
But I still miss the almost-instant pain relief. Guess I'll go dust off the Tylenol bottle.
"...strong connection between ibuprofen and heart disease & cancer..." - I switched to ibuprofen from acetaminophen because of its reported damage to the liver and kidney (and ibuprofen comes in a handy 800mg dose). Now what are we supposed to do?!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have some friends who would suggest Jack Daniels as an alternative!
