That’s what I thought! But they said I could and I wondered. Not regular Advil but maybe the Excedrin one because of the caffeine in it??

What!?!?!

No deal. I'll never claim you have any semblance of normalcy left in that nutty skull of yours.

Doubtless this has received dozens of replies already, but I'm here to chime in anyway. This is a load of hogwash. The trick is finding the one you can have a life with. No one is perfect, and truthfully very few people are perfect for each other when they meet. They work at it. They match up in enough ways to decide they can give it a whirl, but it takes a long time for two people to be perfect for each other in most cases. Sometimes you learn something about a person well into a relationship that throws the whole damned thing out the window, and you don't expect it, but life doesn't wait for your expectations to catch up. Some people meet the one they want to whirl with early, others of us waited a long, long time. These days, no one has to wait for a mate to buy a house, have a child, build a career, and still keep chickens. No sense waiting, just do it.

There is always going to be something about a person that you dont like. If you are waiting for perfectionism you are never going to find a mate. Like you said it takes time to grow a relationship...and plenty of forbearance, patience, and love too.

However I havent found the one yet and he hasnt found me...and right now it's better that way. I want my education behind me...to do what I love...and perhaps find someone that I can love and will love me back. It doesn't have to be a perfect relationship, and although good looks would be a plus I'm more interested in good character.

According to a bunch of websites I just found, I think Claritin is one cause it’s long acting? I got the 24 hour one

Regular Claritin does not seem to start working until it has been in your system for several days and is not supposed to be taken within several hours of eating. Claritin RediTabs go right into your system by being absorbed under your tongue. It is my experience that I and others have felt the effects within 15 minutes of taking a RediTab. Claritin in any of its forms other than ClaritinD has allergies that it is not effective against and people that it is not effective for. In full blown allergy season, I use a generic Flonase in addition to Claritin RediTabs. Flonase and its generics do need to be in your system for several days in order to feel its full benefits.

Not Advil...unless you are on it every day for months...but Excedrin maybe? I dont take much except for pain cause I don't want to get addicted to anything.

You will not have withdrawals, just kidney damage.

Thank you!!! This was very helpful!!! It was the Claritin Redi Tabs that I got cause that’s what I had before and I remember you saying it worked well. It hasn’t seemed to fully kick in yet though but I didn’t take it that long ago so hopefully it will soon. I think it’s just because there’s soooo much pollen in the air. Thick yellow layers all over everything and clouds of it in the air.

Oh wow that’s terrible!!!

I’d heard some of them were bad for the liver and some bad for the kidneys, etc. but didn’t realize it could be that bad!!

It’s just hard because like, for example, I actually threw away what little Excedrin I had left like last week but then literally like the next day or couple days later, I had a really bad headache and then now today with the shoulder pain

But I need to find a better way of dealing with stuff or a more long term solution because I really am honestly scared of the damage it’s doing to my organs and/or stomach. Probably have ulcers or something too.

Actually ibuprofen is mainly metabolized by the kidneys, but Tylenol/acetaminophen is metabolized by the liver and can be quite deadly to people with compromised liver function. When I was working at the hospital we had a man in his mid-40s come in through the emergency room who was orange because of liver failure, who never woke up from his coma. He had had a bad cold, and had double dosed cold medicine that had acetaminophen in it, and also take Tylenol, just trying to get to sleep so he could get to work in the morning. He had some sort of liver disease, I don't remember if it was cirrhosis or something else, and unintentionally killed himself with acetaminophen, trying to relieve symptoms of a cold. It was heartbreaking.
Also, Kiki's reminders to you to modify your lifestyle is one of the most loving things I've ever witnessed; that someone cares so much about a virtual stranger almost two thousand miles away doesn't happen for a lot of people.
