this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, drug question: I took a Tylenol a few hours before taking Aleve, can I take another a few hours after? The Aleve is helping but not enough, and I know I can't take more yet and I can't take Advil on top of Aleve.

Tylenol and Aleve are fine to take together. Just make sure you stick with the dosage schedule on the Tylenol bottle.

Yeah, Tylenol doses should be spaced about 6 hours apart, and taking NSAIDs with Tylenol doesn't affect its dosing interval.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thank you both. I thought so, but I wanted validation.

Aleve is a new experiment for me. My BFF swears by it. It took a long time to kick in, but once it did, it seems like it helped more than Advil or Tylenol alone does. So, maybe I'll stay with that for a while and see how it goes.

Our wings are not tired.

How is it only 6:15, it feels like 10pm.

So true. And another month before we start getting longer days again. My body wakes with the sun and thinks it should sleep when the sun sets too. This is most inconvenient.

OMG how have I never heard of this before? Is this an East coast vs West coast thing?

Follow up question: does coffee syrup continue to taste good into adulthood? Because IME chocolate syrup doesn't.

Yeah, I am terribly curious about this coffee syrup--there's a "sampler pack" on Amazon, but I'm not sure I need or want three different kinds...but....tempting.

I think coffee syrup is mostly a Rhode Island thing. I've seen it a little bit in the rest of New England, but mostly just RI.

edit: And now I see that Jesse already answered that.

I want to hug Aleve and squeeze it and call it George. About 9 times out of 10 I can head off migraine pain entirely if I get it into my system as soon as I notice auras or light sensitivity.

I seem to be one of the few people who doesn't like Aleve. It barely does anything for my pain -- Advil works a lot better -- and it upsets my stomach, even if I take it with food.

Worried about you, Ginger.

Yeah, me too. And Mr. Peabody.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending you lots of love and strength~ma, Ginger. I'm glad you are getting cared for, but I know being in the hospital is a bummer, and not having a phone or access to email while you're there is even worse. And lots of ~ma to Mr. Peabody too.
