I hate being in pain!!

[Booble]

Not a fan of any meds either. But clearly Advil is the goddess of pain's gift, especially to women.

I;m truly relieved to know that !!! I mean the wariness, not the difficulties that produced it ....

It's amazing how fast they'll prescribe them, and how quickly they'll leave the room whn you ask for help or complain about the side effects.

There are other ways to go at this, with fewer side effects. Do try the Aleve for pain, it's really been incredible for me, and I'm hoping that it will be for you, too. If it isnt, try Advil or any other OTC pain med, until you find one that helps. It's out there, just waiting for you to drop on by .... you take care, too, and dont give up, don;t lose hope ....

Thanks for the encouragement! I really need it now! Lisa

Is it a prescription?

yes, in the US it is. My doctor prescribed it. It seems to require compounding, to reduce the dosage down from 50 mgs, to very low doses (I take 3.5 mg).

My insurance therefore does not cover it. I get it shipped from a pharmacy, costs me around $30/month.

I had my hubby order Aleve for me, so will give it a go! Thanks again!!

Because dark chocolate ameliorates everything. <------- see what I did there with another fun word?

It's sad to see these terrific words sort of drop out of common usage. I guess if it has more than two syllables, it's too cumbersome (another good one, slowly fading away) in a world of 144 characters ...

Oddly, Advil was one of the ones that was just sort of meh for me .... I'd almost given up when a co-worker of DB's suggested that I might want to try Aleve, so I'm just paying that forward ....

Oh please please let me know how it works for you, even if it's not the news I hope to hear !!!!

Which is pretty much my mantra, no matter what the problem is ....

High-Five, Yippee! Works for me.

I smiled when I read this because that's what happened with the rheumatologist who prescribed Cymbalta for me. I asked about side effects, he said very hurriedly on his way out the door, "Only nausea sometimes for the first week."

However, I research things before I take them and the side effects of that medication can be truly ghastly. To try to be "compliant" for my upcoming SSDI hearing, I took two little pebbles out of one of the capsules and had IBS for a 1.5 weeks afterward as well as a migraine for 3 days. Nah...

Yeah, that's me too. It doesn't do anything for me but neither does the Aleve.

Good luck at your hearing!

Oh, no. I was already turned down two years ago but thanks.
