Lenna Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 My son feels somewhat better when he takes Ibuprofen. I think it makes him less dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy_D Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 My son takes ibuprofen for headaches and he has not had any problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Sorry to be the odd one here but it bothers my stomach after the second dose and it makes my heart beat faster and gives me insomnia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Ibuprofen actually helps me feel 'a little' better. Just make sure to eat something when you take it as it can be hard on a person's stomach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Interesting. I get the same response tearose does--it seems to activate my ANS-- and I have been avoiding ibuprofen for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarthMother Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Yay you for the Paraguard. I've wanted one but I'm just not up to getting myself up and out to go and get one these days ... plus I'm only a few years away from wrapping up menapause I figure ... so why bother? As for Advil ... there were a few years when I stopped taking it after a bad reaction. But then I just started taking Junior Advil or Children's Motrin and worked my way back up to a full single dose of Adult Advil. Thank goodness because it's the only thing that helps with the menstrual cramps.I still notice that I don't need much, as I am med sensitive. So I'll take one 200 mg tablet and not need another for 8 hours. You may want to try a smaller dose and just see how it goes. I once did cryo at the GYN and only took a single advil. And I don't recall taking anything at all when I had the mirina IUD put in some 8 years ago.Good luck! Hope the paraguard works well for you.
