I agree Terri, I was taking Tylenol or generic brand acedomidaphine for headaches. When my headache lasted 5 days I researched and found that Tylenol causes headaches if taken several days in a row. I stopped taking it and switched to white willow bark. It was gone in 20 minutes.
Yes I took Advil for years for migraines and I ended up in the hospital with a perforated intestine. My specialist dr. said Advil use can cause diverticulitis so I take the odd Tylenol and use a cold pack on my forehead. I am now on Methatrexate for psoriasis so not allowed to really take anything that is processed in your liver. I wish I had known years ago about the damage a simple over the counter pill could cause.
@A MyPsoriasisTeam Member @A MyPsoriasisTeam Member thank you for your suggestions. Robina I do these things as well but my work is very taxing as a cook that does all meats veggies and breads. I stay inflamed. Anti inflammatories only work partially and clean eating only helps a little.
No one is thinking of self harm it was about side effects that a particular medicine can do
You really have to be careful with pregablin ( lyrica) because it can cause your depression to get worse and in some people it causes suicidal thoughts. My problem is every biologic that I have been on it end up in the ER with chest pains the doctor put me on nitro due the fact that the biologics caused heart issues. I ended up having an allergic reaction to the methotrexate injections. So i have been trying to find ways to off set the pain. I do drink my turmeric, ginger, cayenne, lemon and cumin teas but have to be careful as the turmeric thins the blood and im already on bp meds. At one point I was partaking in Marijuana my general practioner said if I could find gummies he would be happier but he understood as far as the relief part. I am just dealing with the pain at this point.
I do eat low carb, no sugar, no red meat no pork for the most part( once in a while I will cheat) I try to stay away from fried foods as well.
