True, there's the whole gastric irritation thing with NSAIDS, but just take with food, and you're good to go.

The reason Tylenol is a bunch of assholes is due to a recent (or not so recent) ad I saw marketing Tylenol for arthritis- calling it "Tylenol Arthritis." I was intrigued by this, seeing as how arthritis is a chronic inflammation, Tyelnol wouldn't do shit- I read the label, and there was no additional ingredient, except more Tylenol. And that's not going to do shit. Overdosing old people who don't read med labels is immoral and dangerous... These people are now at a risk for liver damage due to Tylenol's money hungry desires... Fucking Tylenol.

Or you could always smoke pot to help with pain

If you have a headache, take caffiene- gives you cause to drink lots of Mountain Dew to help shrink those dilated blood vessels

I couldn't agree with you more, though unfortunately it seems doctors here are all for accetominophen (tylenol is the brand name). I especially hate it because they stick it in EVERYTHING whether it's needed or not. It doesn't kill pain for me one but, yet they stick 325mg in every Tramacet tablet. That means when I take the 3-4 tramacets it takes to kill pain for me, I also have to ingest 975-1,300mg of tylenol that does nothing for me except put an esceptionally large amount of our good liver-killing buddy accetominophen. (the maximum recommended dose for accetominophen is 500mg, though the human body can handle more, they're just being safe.)
mrdevious Reviewed by mrdevious on . Tell us your remedies! I've heard some pretty usefull odd remedies around here, such as the whole garlin on the feet thing, so I thought it would be cool if we all listed some little-known remedies we know about. I'll start: (btw, pain-remedies would be awsome) Problem: Cold/Flu Remedie: concentrated garllic pills Result: These seem to work better than ColdFX for me and everybody in my family (and coldFX always kills my colds within 3 days). Basically you can get these hard pills of it, which work much better Rating: 5
