second hand smoke
Male maxi pads?
-- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... The only polite thing to do, is to use a product like this: http://www.flat-d.com/mefldepr.html You will not leave defoliated plant life and lifeless pets in your wake. Not to mention numerous people with breathing problems. TDD |

oh, what pains, and what pills to take
Sorry to hear that. Sounds like totally no fun.
Have you tried different brands? Tylenol brand, versus generics? Since we're on the topic of generics not working right. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "aemeijers" wrote in message ... Must be nice to still be able to take anything. I'm slowly (very slowly) getting over a pinched nerve at the c7, initially mistaken for carpal tunnel in right wrist. I was rotating through all the OTC meds available, but evidently took too much, and developed an allergy to all the NSAIDS. About 3 doses over 18 hours, and part of my face would swell up. Only thing OTC I can take is acetaminophen, which doesn't do a whole lot. Fingers crossed, the nerve 'popping back into place' and the exercise regimen the PT prescribed have prevented any major relapses so far, but I doubt that the trigger/mouse finger on right hand is ever going to fully recover. It works, but feels like it has been shot up with a local anesthetic. -- aem sends... |

Refrigerator not working again!
Gunner my friend, I'm deathly allergic to tobacco and pot smoke. My mother chain smoked cigarettes she she was pregnant with me and I went cold turkey on nicotine at the age of one day. The only time I wasn't crying was when I was breast feeding and getting a dose of the drug that way. I was laying in the crib screaming "GIMME A DAMN CIGARETTE!" but nobody understood what I was saying. As a child, I had green slime running out my nose at all times. Tobacco smoke is like pepper spray to me. I'm not the only person who reacts to in that way as I've met more than one other person who has the same reaction to the smoke as I have. If me and other people have such a strong negative response to second hand smoke, it must be dangerous. I wish it didn't affect me the way it does, it limits the number of places I can go and people I can get around. As a result of an 8 hour heart surgery, I cannot take being within range of anyone smoking a cigarette, or smoking a cigar. There ought to be a law that anyone smoking a cigar in public can be shot with no consequences to the shooter. Steve Heart surgery pending? Read up and prepare.

Steve I don't know about you Steve but I can tell if the car in front of me on a freeway has a smoker in it, I'm that sensitive to it. It's hell for me to go in and out of some buildings because of the flock of smokers outside the doors. It's like the teargas house at a military boot camp. I have to roll my windows up when pulling up to a 7-11 because the smoke from the bums hanging around outside will always waft through my open windows. I swear, the smoke comes looking for me, it's evil. There was a guy who hung out with a business partner of mine who would put his cigarette in an ashtray across the room and a tendril of smoke would slink across the room to seek me out like some possessed snake. It knew I didn't like it so it came after me. 8-) TDD |

There was a well known happening, a heart medicine Lopressor, or Cardizem. I can't remember which of those two names is the generic or the brand. Lopressor is a brand name of Metoprolol (other brands include Toprol and Metoprolol Tartrate), a beta blocker. Cardizem is quite different, a calcium channel blocker. Of course they could act differently on a given individual. But one worked, the generic did not. The difference turned out to be that the brand name medicine people ground the drug into a finer dust which was better absorbed. The generic was not as finely ground, and not as well absorbed. I use the genericest Metoprolol; the $10/90day Kroger special (Metoprolol Tartrate). Works fine. Your experience is very believable, to me. |

So far they get it back to a manageable pain pretty quickly. I've recently started taking a couple of Ibuprofen when the pain reminds me to.

Here is all the documentation you need: Some people can tolerate cigarette smoke while some people cannot. You'll never know the difference until it's too late. So take your chances and maybe die or play it safe and maybe live. Your opinion is noted. Now about those citations? Im reminded of an asshole who works for a company my partner rents shop space from. He hates cig smoke. Claims it effects his "asthma" Only problem is...he sweeps the very dusty shop, from inside a cloud of dust for an hour or more....., no mask and then looks up, sees someone OUTSIDE the shop smoking ..and screams "my asthma! Dont smoke near the doors!!" When mention is made of the cloud of dust he is standing in...he then gets a cross look on his face and runs over and puts on a dust mask...which he should have been wearing in the first place if he actually DID have asthma. Guy has worked for the one company for over 18 yrs, since he was 18. Is an utter yutz. He can do his job marginally well enough, but then..one can train a chimp to do things "well enough: in 18 yrs. And of course..he is a liar as well as a cry baby and has zero people skills. Shrug..but thats only one guy. Now about those citations about second hand smoke? We already know your opinion..and as they say..."opinions are like assholes..everybody has one and they generally all stink" Ill be waiting for your "proof" Gunner Gunner my friend, I'm deathly allergic to tobacco and pot smoke. My mother chain smoked cigarettes she she was pregnant with me and I went cold turkey on nicotine at the age of one day. The only time I wasn't crying was when I was breast feeding and getting a dose of the drug that way. I was laying in the crib screaming "GIMME A DAMN CIGARETTE!" but nobody understood what I was saying. As a child, I had green slime running out my nose at all times. Tobacco smoke is like pepper spray to me. I'm not the only person who reacts to in that way as I've met more than one other person who has the same reaction to the smoke as I have. If me and other people have such a strong negative response to second hand smoke, it must be dangerous. I wish it didn't affect me the way it does, it limits the number of places I can go and people I can get around. TDD Im allergic to hops. Which is why in my entire life, Ive never had an entire full beer. 57 yrs and Ive never totaled 16 ounces of beer in all that time. I take a drink of beer..and Im blowing lunch like Mount St. Helens So I should not be around beer drinkers. Even the smell makes me queasy. So its obvious any amount of beer is dangerous to society at large and it should be banished immediately!!! Right? Gunner Actually Gunner, it is you that should be banished. Beer is the staff of life. It was invented by Christian Monks. John |

About the time my back started feeling better, my stomach was killing me. Ibuprofen is very touch on the stomach, assuming one is inclined to suffer that affliction. Harold You do know that most ulcers have been found to be the result of bacteria http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pep...SECTION=causes By Mayo Clinic staff Depending on their location, peptic ulcers have different names: * Gastric ulcer. This is a peptic ulcer that occurs in your stomach. * Duodenal ulcer. This type of peptic ulcer develops in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). * Esophageal ulcer. An esophageal ulcer is usually located in the lower section of your esophagus. It's often associated with chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The culprit in most cases Although stress and spicy foods were once thought to be the main causes of peptic ulcers, doctors now know that the cause of most ulcers is the corkscrew-shaped bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). H. pylori lives and multiplies within the mucous layer that covers and protects tissues that line the stomach and small intestine. Often, H. pylori causes no problems. But sometimes it can disrupt the mucous layer and inflame the lining of your stomach or duodenum, producing an ulcer. H. pylori is a common gastrointestinal infection. In the United States, one in five people younger than 30 and half the people older than 60 are infected. Although it's not clear exactly how H. pylori spreads, it may be transmitted from person to person by close contact, such as kissing. People may also contract H. pylori through food and water. H. pylori is the most common, but not the only, cause of peptic ulcers. Besides H. pylori, other causes of peptic ulcers, or factors that may aggravate them, include: * Regular use of pain relievers. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can irritate or inflame the lining of your stomach and small intestine. These medications, which are available both by prescription and over-the-counter, include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), naproxen (Aleve), ketoprofen and others. To help avoid digestive upset, take NSAIDs with meals. If you have been diagnosed with an ulcer, make sure your doctor knows this when prescribing any pain reliever. Other medications that contain NSAIDs are Alka-Seltzer and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, others). Unfortunately, some people take these medications for symptoms of peptic ulcer, but they can make the condition worse. Other prescription medications that can also lead to ulcers include medications used to treat osteoporosis called bisphosphonates (Actonel, Fosamax and others). NSAIDs inhibit production of an enzyme (cyclooxygenase) that produces prostaglandins. These hormone-like substances help protect your stomach lining from chemical and physical injury. Without this protection, stomach acid can erode the lining, causing bleeding and ulcers. * Smoking. Nicotine in tobacco increases the volume and concentration of stomach acid, increasing your risk of an ulcer. Smoking may also slow healing during ulcer treatment. * Excessive alcohol consumption. Alcohol can irritate and erode the mucous lining of your stomach and increases the amount of stomach acid that's produced. It's uncertain, however, whether this alone can progress into an ulcer or if it just aggravates the symptoms of an existing ulcer. * Stress. Although stress per se isn't a cause of peptic ulcers, it's a contributing factor. Stress may aggravate symptoms of peptic ulcers and, in some cases, delay healing. You may undergo stress for a number of reasons — an emotionally disturbing circumstance or event, surgery, or a physical trauma, such as a burn or other severe injury. Complications Symptoms and are curable, right? Gunner I am the Sword of my Family and the Shield of my Nation. If sent, I will crush everything you have built, burn everything you love, and kill every one of you. (Hebrew quote) |
