Experiences with

Paracetamol

Went this morning to my pharmacy to get vaccinated against flu. I've never had a flu jab before and all my allergies were checked, taking up most of the space on the form but was stymied when it came to latex allergy. Pharmacist said he couldn't take the risk, - although NHS says it's negligible -

So I thought I'd share this with everyone, like me, who wasnt aware of this contraindication to taking a common drug - Paracetamol is fine, but not an anti-inflammatory. Keep safe everyone

hysterectomy for extensive endometriosis over 30 years ago. or possibly remaining bits of endo (although doc says this not possible) or even maybe a kink in lower bowel causing pressure on bladder.I am open to all other suggestions , or failing that any ideas for pain relief other than hot water bottles and paracetamol

I have to admit I did take a paracetamol and it kinda of helped . I am trying to avoid tablets I fear it will harm the baby.

Does it worsen rls? I sometimes take it to relax my muscles.

He warned me against having any injections into my knees because he said they give symptomatic relief but will over time destroy tissue, Eventually he said, they will not work, I am now 76 and with a minimum of effort ( I am no athlete) I keep mobile and relatively pain free, a couple of paracetamol

I have been taking paracetamol which takes the edge off but as soon as they start to wear off it comes back again. I dont want to keep taking pain killers but im so fed up of my head hurting! Thanks.

Should I try paracetamol first? It concerns me that Im having problems at 25mg as I thought I would get a lot lower before this happened! Apologies for the long post and numerous questions. Would really appreciate someone talking me through this please. Thank you

I am full of cold and swollen glands taking paracetamol but wanted anti inflammatory to help with swollen glands ? Thanks in advance sherrie x

I have had a letter from my electro physiologist to my cardiologist stating that an ICD would not be appropriate in any situation in somebody who is unable to take any medication and had a sore arm last time she was in hospital via the BP monitor (Day 4 I asked for 1 Paracetamol as I have a very slight

COPD and bronchiectasis, he had a bronchoscopy on Friday and had 4 biopsies, taken , just sent him home and told him to wait for another scan although the 1st one was clear (6weeks ago also 2 X-rays have only shown he had a infection) Really worried and he’s in pain , he’s been taking ibuprofen and paracetamol

At the moment I take 10mg prednisone. 15 mg methotrexate, 6 x5 mg folic acid, omeprazole , calci D 20 mg amitriptyline at night and tramadol and paracetamol when I need them. My GP thinks it might be a good idea to increase my amitriptyline .

"MTT analysis indicated that clinically relevant concentrations of ibuprofen significantly reduced the survival of LNCaP human prostate tumor cells. TUNEL analysis demonstrated that this was due in part to a significant number of LNCaP cells undergoing apoptosis. Ibuprofen also induced the same amount

I'm not on any other drugs apart from paracetamol and thyroxine. It's so sore and is really getting me down. I've had blood tests done which all came back normal apart from slightly raised liver readings. Spoken to gp who prescribed artificial saliva spray and drops for oral thrush.

I am hoping that paracetamol will give me relief but my symptoms have returned and are as bad as at the beginning. It is the first 2 hours of the day that are the worst and the paracetamol helps in this respect. Do I just suffer or revert to more steroids again??

Not even had a neb yet or paracetamol I've been asking for since 3pm... surely may as well be home... 🤷‍♀️ x

When I tried to show her the documentation on my pregnancy file she started to shout at me and mocked me that I'm making a big deal out of it, that I need to go home and take paracetamol! I'm terrified now that I'll be giving birth there where no one cares about the mother's concerns or feelings.

I did my W1R1 yesterday, and whilst doing it I got a head ache, not a massive one.. took some paracetamol when I got home and drunk lots, but it stayed the rest of the day as a 'heavy head' I've woken this morning with a 'heavy head' and a sickly feeling taken some paracetamol and again drinking plenty

I spoke to a RA nurse last week (telephone consultations only at the moment) and she said to keep taking the Hydroxychloraquine, the Naproxen and up to 8 paracetamol per day. I'm thinking about slowly stopping taking the Hydroxychloraquine to see if its what's causing these terrible muscle pains.
