Constant headache...

[b fold the truth]

I've been taking high dose ibuprofen for 2 weeks or more...so what do I do for a headache? Any chance that the alleve, ibuprofen, etc...could be causing the headache?

just looked it up and 'overdose symptoms' are: severe nausea, vomiting, headache , confusion, and seizures.

when you say that you've been taking high doses, how much exactly are you taking? several times the label recommendation, on a constant basis? ...that could be causing it.

Rebound headaches.



Any chance it's a migraine you have and just don't realize it?

For the past 2 weeks I have taken 4-5 grams of ibuprofen and the reccomended dose of alleve every day...

try some excedrin. try 2 maybe 3 at a time. i was up to 8 ibuprofin a day when i tried this. after a week or so mix it up. try excedrin one day and ibuprofin the next. something is clearly wrong so seek help if you have medical coverage.

maybe something to do with your eyes?

4-5 grams is a lot!! If you look it up in the PDR, the range & frequency for adults is 200-400mg, every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 1,200mg per day. Now, they usually err on the side of caution, but damn, you're 4 times the maximum amount.... for an extended period of time. I'd definitely give the ibuprofren a break and try something else. ...btw, ibuprofen isn't very liver-friendly, and it specifically warns against taking with AAS... just in case that pertains to you.

I wish you lived closer to me cause you REALLY need another mother to just put the whoop to you as only a mommy can do. So just imagine at the end of ever sentence that I smack you over the head with my black springy plastic spatula...

DID YOU GO TO THE CHIRO?!?!?
How is your back?!?!?
From the amount of pain meds I am assuming that the answers are NO and BAD.

Back problems can CAUSE headaches....
Please, go to the doctor! Talk to their business office ahead of time, there were times when my kids were little and we were so poor that we could only sent $5 to the doctor and $10 to the hospital each month but it was fine as long as we attempting to pay.

You being all stubborn and hardheaded and prideful is going to end up causing an injury so serious that it may COST you your dream and I, for one, want to sit on my couch and watch you in strongman comps on TV.

End of beating... now what can I fix you to eat????
