:((( I'm sorry.

I might have nipped it with maybe too much naproxen and some caffeine? We'll see.

We've got some weird weather going on today. I'm fairly sure that's the cause. Hoping, anyway.

Thanks! It's better this morning!

Awww. Boooo!

Yeah, that's a test case: down two advil and pound down some caffeine. Makes the funny flashes go away.

(no, not the ones from the sixties)

I took two naproxen sodium about two hours ago and it hasn't helped. Would it be harmful to try a couple ibuprofen at this point, on top of the two naproxen? Do you know?

Since they're different drugs I think you'd be okay to try ibuprofen. FYI Excedrin Migraine is 250mg acetaminophen, 250mg aspirin and 65mg caffeine, so Tylenol may be more effective than ibuprofen. That's the magic cocktail for me most days.

So sorry you're hurting. Hope it goes away soon.

Cool. Thanks for the info, bb. I'll ask around the office to see if anyone's got either of them on hand.

I know when we fight crap at our house my doc says to alternate ibuprofen and acetaminophen ever 2 hours. Surely the same applies to naproxen sodium.

Oh, that's some very fine information. Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I stopped taking acetaminophen when I was a heavier drinker and stopped buying ibuprofen when it started giving [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick such stomach troubles. Looks like maybe I need to keep at least a small bottle of each on hand.

They way of it from over here: naproxen excludes both Advil and aspirin; it does allow Tylenol.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2015-09-02 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool. Thank you for weighing in!

When I say "test case": one of the quick and dirty trick used by some to diagnose migraines is the Advil/Caffeine mix; if that works it's time for a workup and "real" treatment options.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2015-09-02 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
More good information, thank you. Looks like I'll be picking up some Advil tonight and will try the combo tomorrow if the headache is still around.

Dear headache,

SERIOUSLY.

I hope you're doing better tonight. Fuck those headaches!

We are on the outer lip of the 18th typhoon to-date this year, and I'm feeling nausea and pain consistent with other air-pressure related headaches I've had. I've been told there's no such thing, but I call bull-pellets on that. Or bull-pies. I'm not sure how bull-poop comes out, but my fucking head hurts.

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2015-09-09 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
There's no such thing as barometric pressure causing headaches? WTF, seriously? What idiot told you that? Obviously nobody who's ever had one. Jesus.

I am so sorry you're having headache troubles, too. That sucks.
