idk who needs to hear this rn but suffering is not noble. take the tylenol

wahoo-shem

One time when I was younger I was refusing to take headache medicine and my mom said “the person who invented that medicine is probably so sad you won’t let them help you” and now every time I find myself denying medicine I just imagine the saddest scientist making those big wet eyes like “why won’t you let me help” and whoop then I take the medicine

As long as you are taking a SAFE dose of it, then it's *good* for you. Pain is bad for the body. The inflammation from prolonged pain can worsen chronic issues and make it harder to heal.

Ibuprofen is best for pain that has inflammation, while acetaminophen doesn't help with inflammation but is more broadly effective on other types of pain. As long as you are taking the recommended dose, you can even take them TOGETHER, since they have different mechanisms of action.

You do need to be aware of how much and how often you are taking any pain medication. Overdoses can be very painful (even lethal.) And if you are in chronic pain often enough that you need more than the safe dose, then you need to look into other medications to manage that pain.

(Also, if you are specifically taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol for your go-to pain management, getting some NAC and taking that with it reduces the risk of overdose AND may strengthen the effect.)

One other thing: NSAIDS (ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen being the three big ones) can cause digestive issues with chronic use, including stomach ulcers. That doesn't mean "don't take them," it means "if you're at the point where you're on them all the time, every day, constantly, you should talk to a doctor about either reducing that risk or switching to another medication that doesn't have those side effects."

Nope. I mean it is safe to take them together. Like, if it's a very mild pain, sure, take just one. Especially if you have a sensitive stomach. (Ibuprofen, with food and water, for pain + inflammation. Acetaminophen for anything else.) But if it's already pretty bad? Take the recommended dose for both at the same time. (With food and water. And NAC and a multivitamin if you have them.)

Acetaminophen can safely be mixed with Ibuprofen (OR naproxen OR aspirin.) - check stuff like cold and flu meds because they often already have one of those mixed in and you don't want to double up the wrong ones.

Ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen all work directly on the site of the pain itself and can be dangerous when mixed together. But they also reduce inflammation effectively as a result. Acetaminophen actually affects how your *brain* perceives pain signals - making you less sensitive to them. (Weirdly, this means that some studies have shown that acetaminophen can also temporarily reduce feelings of emotional pain and empathy???? Brains are weird.) Because these mechanisms are so different, you can layer them and get a boosted effect.

Remember- pain is bad for the body. Once you know the cause of the pain, it isn't doing you any more good, and it in fact is bad for you. Do what you need to do (safely) to get rid of pain.

Looks like NAC is (or at least was) restricted by the FDA. It might be hard/ illegal to find for sale in the US.

But yeah. I've had multiple doctors advise me to take a full dose of acetaminophen and a full dose of ibuprofen or naproxen for serious pain with a known cause and a treatment plan in place. Over a long enough period, it could probably do some damage. But the goal, in my experience, has been to allow me to get on with my life or at least get some sleep until my body can heal or the doctor can get me some more permanent assistance. And it works.

fandomsandfeminism

You can definitely buy NAC in the US. It's on Amazon. I saw it at Target yesterday.

There was some discussion last year about whether NAC could be sold as a "dietary supplement " (since is also has FDA approval as a drug). Which made some retailers stop selling it for a bit.

The final ruling on that was that the FDA would basically allow NAC to continue to be sold as a supplement as long as companies weren't making dubious "non-compliant health claims" about it. So it's definitely still available.

But yes! Acetaminophen can absolutely be safely mixed with the NSAIDS at the correct doses for occasional pain.

The thing about glados is that she is cool for real but isn’t sleekly calculatingly hypercompetent. She is so lethally cruel to you but whenever you actually get in her room to confront her about it she’s always like whoa whoa whoa I’m just a helpless frail little guy who donates to charity plus it’s my birthday…you wouldn’t hit a little birthday boy would you…

Miíyu miíyu. It is Speak Your Language day. However, thanks to Colonization and “extermination” and other genocide methods, I only speak a few words of what should have been my first language.

When we think about languages it is important to know of and support the ones that Colonial Imperialism has done its best to eradicate.

This includes not mocking them as silly,

not saying they sound like nonsense,

not joking about their spelling, the look of their alphabet,

not joking about how they sound

as “making no sense” to you just because you speak a Majority language. You are not more comprehensible or correct than their words are just because you can’t understand them.

That is Colonizer rhetoric.

Respecting a language actual people speak is part of not being bigoted.

Yes, this includes languages spoken by “white” people, like Irish, Scots Gaelic and Scots dialect, Breton, Welsh, Cornish, and so on.

These few words you see me use are Chamteéla, one of the languages formerly common in what is now called California, USA.
