… with hot chocolate powder in it.
And the pain has yet to subside… but y’know what? I don’t care! Cause baby, I am a dancin’ in my chair!!
Woo yeah!!
The pain, Roo?
Whassa matta?
Poor roo. I hear that heroin is a great pain reliever!
Aunt Rose took a little trip down the tomato soup canal and is beating me with her paddle.
Is chair dancing anything at all like table dancing?
and…
Why is your pain a happy thing?
I hope ya feel better Roo - and try to cheer down a bit - k?
::Ogre hangs his head in shame::
Ummmm, I guess that should have been obvious from the title. Sorry about that. I’ll go shuffle off under a big rock.
Hope you feel better, Roo.
I suppose so… but sitting, I am.
And it’s not a happy thing… it is more of a Megan is on a lot of drugs, sorta thing.
Hey gorgeous, don’t be hitting up the drugs too much! Save some for me!
Love yah!
-S
Whoa! - That’s trippy dudette!
I’ll have what she’s having.
Hope ya feel better Megan.
I have found in recent years that downing the motrin along with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Coffee Heath Bar Crunch produces much more satisfactory results than a pot of coffee. YMMV
Enjoy those drugs!
There is caffeine in Tylenol. Id say youll be up for a while.
I suppose you have tried a hot water bottle huh?
tylenol is no good for cramps my dear - you need a blood tihinning thing, like Anacin/Aspirin… or Midol!
You can hurt your insides with too much Tylenol (doc said so!) and you might not even know it because of the anti-nausea agent. You can take too much, and not barf it up.
Switch dope - try 3 reg strength ibuprophene, with come coke, and chocolate (for the caffeine kick to your system).
LAY OFF THE TYLENOL - your lidneys/liver etc will thank you later…
(sex is good for cramps too)
Even better is an anti inflammatory like Anaprox or Naproxen. Muscle relaxers would help too.
Skip the caffeine. It might be good for headaches, but it makes cramps worse. It can also make breast tenderness worse–just in case Aunt Rose reaches that high in your case.
Ouch! breat tenderness…
I SO do not miss pms - I take shots, and my aunt rose wont visit anymore!
Taking to much Tylenol can destroy your liver, and you die a couple of days later. Don’t take more Tylenol than the label says to.
Yeah, watch the Tylenol. Some years ago the daughter of a friend of my mom came THIS CLOSE to succesfully killing herself via Tylenol. She had permanent serious liver damage. Please BE CAREFUL with that stuff.
Ibuprofen works way better for cramps anyway. Combined with a heating pad (or possibly a cooperative cat, if he’s in the mood, he’s very warm) it always works for ME.
Hot water bottle? Oh boy, I’ve been sitting on a heating pad since 7 this morning.
And sadly Midol, and every other girly pain drug I’ve tried, doesn’t help. Which is odd since Tylenol and Ibuprofen are quite often the active ingredients.
And for all of you worry warts out there, I consulted my mother (RN) after my third tylenol to find out what the maximum daily dosage was.
But now I am curious… if caffeine is in Acetaminophin and Acetaminophin is in Pamprin (which is specifically for PMS), how can caffeine make cramps worse?
Mega it is quite official. You now disgust me. Also, this makes those two other mysterious threads last week make perfect sense. Ha!

This is a metaphor, isn’t it?
