Pain
How does my panadol back and neck pain caplet know it's for my back? Why doesn't it think its for my headache? If I have a headache as well as a back ache, will it only make my back feel better, but not my headache?
And if, as it says on the pack, it is absorbed twice as fast as regular panadol, why don't they just make regular ones like that as well. Do some people like their pain to last a little longer?
It's like that cream A Little Bit of Relief. Yes please, because I don't really want a lot of relief. Just take the edge off it thanks.
So I really have to wonder when I'm at the shops looking at all the different pain relief tablets if they really are different at all. On Saturday I noticed there is regular pain, back and neck, tension headache, migraine headache and period pain. Surely they must all be the same thing.
Anyway the back pain ones aren't working at all. Maybe they found another little pain somewhere I was unaware of and fixed it instead. I found something called movalis in the pantry so I had one of them. Said it was an anti inflammatory. Guess I should go and google them.
Oh dear - theres some interesting side effects
vomiting of blood or material that looks like coffee grounds
bleeding from your back passage
swelling of the face, tongue or lips that could make swallowing difficult
lol - they say if you experience any of them - you may need medical attention. Doh, you think?
Comments
lol - well I'm sure there are some people who prefer the dead ones.
I always get a laugh from the ones that say - This door is alarmed. Poor thing.
Hmm....I am having the aura of a group starting for migraineurs. Anyone interested in hosting it with me?
In the FDA regulated USA. Our options for over the counter pain relief are so regulated because the crack heads in the trailer parks have figured out how to conduct chemistry class in their living room with these low dose pain meds and allergy meds. Those of us that really need the measly relief from what we are ailing - now have to show identification and have to register the purchase. I guess if my crack lab explodes the pharmacist can prove my address!
I appologize - mind you my comment should probably be its own post- as today I pulled every box of various female pain relief products off of the shelf to see which drug cocktail was going to get me through cramp/bloat/irratable/misery!
Sorry - I guess the irritable relief part is wearing off!
Well, no pun, it's already up and flowing
But, feel free to check in with us.
read the ingredients - they are all exactly the same, just a marketing ploy. And some even cost more for the same thing!
I think one of those night time fear shows did a story on them a couple of weeks ago also - all the same, no difference
it is decided...in the event that i ever win any awards that require acceptance speeches i will most definitely be hiring you to write any and all of them. you crack me up.
I enjoy reading what else my epilepsy meds are used for - and let's just say that psychiatrists hand them out quite a bit.
And 'back passage'? I don't like to think of you in pain, cat, but that kind of cheered me up.
lol - I'm pleased to report that my back passage is in fine order as we speak.
My doctor used to always tell me I should never research medical things on the web or read the pamphlet that comes with medications. That was after I refused to take premarin once I discovered it was made using pregnant mare urine. Mainly due to the conditions they are kept in.
apparently they are the same - so I'll take my back pain ones for period pain - which is in my back anway!
