I take expired hotdogs, maggots, and clown tranquilizers.
I like mine jello shot style. (2-4 every night, chronic pain management and healthcare sucks in America.)
Do a sleep study, also, get long action type. When I was injured, I could feel the spikes and they didn’t last long
My insurance is so shitty right now I’m not paying for a sleep study. I know why I sleep shitty. It’s cause I have a big old herina that fucking hurts and kinks my body up due to compensation. Wish I could take Aleve, but it gives me heartburn for days.
Also, can’t take most long acting meds since I don’t have a colon.
Rip your kidneys and liver.
Yup, but the alternative is drinking myself to death or getting hooked on fentanyl/heroin.
I try to work hard enough every day that 2-4 ibuprofen put me to sleep for 6 hours.
Ulcer moment
It is a balancing act. Uclers vs acceptable level of sleep deprivation.
FFS people go read one article each on ibuprofen and acetaminophen and you’ll see most of you are wrong

My poor european mind cannot understand the industrial bottle of 1000 ibuprofen tablets for a household.
Here they sell you packs of 20 tablets or something like that.
Came here to say the same thing, like WTF, why would you need a jar of 500
Because some of us have had a headache since 1986.
Would you rather buy 15 pills for $15 or 500 pills for the same price? That’s why we buy the mega bottles.
They go bad, though? At least my nice white aspirin pills start crumbling and visibly yellowing after a few months. There’s no way me or even an entire family could swallow 500 until then.
The shocking part is, the whole bottle is like $2.
When you buy a bottle of 1000 for around 15 bucks, and it lasts you a decade… Amazing!
Ibuprofen probably isn’t stable for a decade. Then again, apparently no one knows for sure! Studies pick an arbitrary amount of time to test and then call that the shelf life if it remains usable. So far it doesn’t seem anyone has had the patience to test the absolute shelf life of ibuprofen
My laymen understanding is they slowly break down and become less effective but not dangerous or negative.
Advil is the main brand name for this. I always buy a bottle and other pills when I’m in the US. It is way more than I need but what I like is all the US pills look different. I always have a little mixed bottle of Advil, Pepto Bismol (fixes everything stomach related), anti-histamine pills… with me for when I need them. You can mix them all together and still tell the difference between them. That’s what I don’t like about the European blister packs of unidentifable white pills. That and I hate blister packs. It is also cheaper to buy a bottle. But to be clear, I get like a bottle of 50 or 100. Advil is also enteric coated so it is better for your stomach and tastes better (it’s slightly sweet).
That sounds horrible, haha
If it works for you, great, but I’d be super sceptical of the Skittles jar of mixed pills. At least with blister packs you get the drug and dosage printed on the back
They probably sell them in centimeters or some shit.
But the blister packs we get can’t be tampered with 🤷♂️
The bottles in the US also have safety seals for the same reason
There’s a tamper-proof seal on the bottle
Here in the UK you can’t buy more than two packs at a given time…
You also have to have a license for tv…
For live TV, perhaps they should change its name to subscription because that’s basically what it is at the end of the day.
ITT everyone talking about liver damage? It’s tylenol that is harder on the liver. Ibuprofen is harder on the kidneys. Yeah, you can mess with your liver if you take too much ibuprofen, too.
3.2 grams/24hrs max
Some individuals don’t tolerate it at all and get ulcers or bleeding with one dose. I know this because I’m related to one of these people
Is that technically an allergic reaction?
We don’t know but it’s in two people on that side of the family. One is currently in the hospital while they are looking for the bleed
You’d have to take 16 in a day. Standard pill is 200mg. I can’t imagine taking that many. Most I’ve ever taken is 2.
i took 20 per day for years til aleve started working on me. those i max out at 3/24hrs
Also stomach; NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause stomach ulcers, especially if taken on an empty stomach or with alcohol
Just earlier I was reading about NSAIDs and saw this: “There’s no evidence that taking ibuprofen with food prevents gastric irritation”
I’m sure I can find the article with citation in my history if you care.
Yeah, what I remember is ibuprofen harms the digestive track.
Oh great news, I take both, well kinda. The ones I take are a combo of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen.

Tylenol is just the brand, the active ingredient is Acetaminophen.
Hamburger style. I’m not picky tho.
And the buns still don’t match in number!
my personal experience hotdogs are not as effective. could be their overall size difference makes them dissolve slower. and a smidge more filler maybe
Burger: No wrong way to swallow, feels more legit on the 'ol tongue, twice the quantity of “value size”
Americans may be seeing serious savings in that picture.
I am seeing serious evolutionary pressure on liver genetics.
Nah, Americans are seeing a slight dulling of the pain to get through the day.
Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain’t no safety net to catch ya when your name whatever hurts and needed surgery a decade ago.
Take your pain killers and caffeine and get to work you lazy scum.
Got bills to pay and mouths to feed, there ain’t no
thin in this world for free. No I can’t slow down, I can’t hold back, though you know I wish I could. There ain’t no rest for the wicked… til we close our eyes for good.
You’re thinking acetaminophen
That hurts the kidneys, ibuprofen hurts the liver. You are correct.
https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/ibuprofen-bad-kidneys-liver-3574924/
It can but rarely; mostly it’s a kidney thing.
They’re probably thinking paracetamol
Paracetamol and acetaminophen are two names for the same thing
Shitty American LPT: switch it up between Tylenol and ibuprofen to spread out the damage to your body.
Lmao yeah maybe if everyone takes it for 100,000 years or so 🙄
Hamburger style.
with mustard
I like the kind that comes in a liquid gel cap so it works faster.
I agree, I like the liquid ones better, but I also have the dual ones (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) which I use instead when the pain is too much for ibuprofen alone. I haven’t found gel versions of the dual ones but if I did I would get those instead of the white ones.
Agreed, though the weird alchemy of it makes me less sweaty (but why?)
A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs that aren’t in your system as long and thus clear out faster, dont have that aide effect… maybe
Then you might be interested in suppositories.
So: blue pill?
Blue pilled liquidmaxxer
Why would ever need that many??
Inflammation pain that doctors won’t fucking help with. Buy in bulk and then you won’t run out for a year or so.
Relief is temporary. Pain is forever.
To give to trick or treaters.
Liver damage
I’ve only ever bought one like once. It’s just wholesale basically
They last forever. Bottle like that lasts us a couple years
Be careful taking ibuprofen often it’ll cause issues with your intestines like diverticulitis which landed me in the hospital and has greatly restricted my diet and ability to drink alcohol
Also damage your stomach and your kidneys if you abuse them daily long enough time.
People pop those like M&Ms and not realize that prescription free drugs are still drugs with all their side effect.
So ibuprofen and acetaminophen are weak ass pain killers that do all the damage of alcohol with none of the fun.
As far as my ancestors were concerned I’m supposed to be drunk, chewing willow and maybe having a bit of opium for nap time.
Acetaminophen is quite easier on the kidneys and liver compared to ibuprofen
