Well, my RC officially starts on 5 March. However, I'm going in later today so he can open it up to drain. That should take a chunk of the agony away, they say. However, I can't get on any meds for it until closer to the actual RC. (WtF?)
If this works and I can start taking closer to normal doses of Tylenol (I've been doubling up, mind you), I'll be happier. And I'll keep the ice close at hand too.

On a side note... how do anemia and chewing ice go together? I haven't figured that one out...

Careful with the dose

Please be careful with Tylenol. We checked with our pharmacist a couple of years back and he told us that more is not better with Tylenol. Once you have taken the max dose more does not do any good and it can damage your liver if you take too much. Ibuprofen does work better with a higher dose, perscription is 600-800mg but can upset your stomach, in which case take with food or milk.

Hope you feel better soon.
