Do you take anti-inflammatory meds and why?

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide. See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me. |

I sometimes take ibuprofen for sinus and stress headaches. I try to switch between it and acetaminophen (Tylenol).

I take 2 Alleve every morning for severe back pain. My pain doc okay'd it but I worry that they will eat up my organs at some point, I've already been taking them regularly like this for some 5 years and plan on continuing because they've helped a lot.
I love how pain docs will prescribe OTC pain meds, as much as you want, short and especially long-term side effects be damned, but will not prescribe opioids. I know the reasoning behind it, but still find it ironic. |

No. Just aspirin and tylonal mixed. Extra strength excedrin.

I used to take Advil until I got on blood thinners and can't now. I have mild arthritis.

Yes, I take Advil when my back pain is really bad & I know I have to do something physical that day. I also take it when I am getting a bad headache or migraine.

I don't as I'm on coumadin. I only can take Tylenol and a migraine script (sumatriptan) for pain.

You know, Tylenol is not an anti-inflammatory. It's an anti-pyretic and pain reliever. True anti-inflammatories are aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen. Until my orthopedic surgeon stops them and/or sends me to a pain management specialist, I take percocet, 10/325 (oxycodone/acetaminophen, lumbar fusion). Occasionally I rotate in one of the anti-inflammatories.

Ibuprofen is my go to for pain. Sinus, herniated disk in my neck, blah blah blah. I don't always get along with my body. It fights back

I usually take naproxen for pain. I haven't had much lately except for my back, and I just muddle through that.

I was taking ibruprofen 800 for shoulder pain 3x a day. Primary doc took my blood pressure and it was 164/92 so he said take it only when in pain.
