Same, but prescription strength. I try not to take it unless absolutely necessary.

I can't take it due to gastric issues.... I have to depend on Tylenol..... not as good, but it works.... a little

Well... I know you will all be jealous...but I have to log off to goto a dentist appointment.... I know... You all wish you could go...but NOPE.... its my dentist appointment and I'm not sharing
The VA docs wanted to prescribe a bunch of narcotics, this was a compromise.

I avoid medications/drugs if at all possible.
Me too. I manage my pain mostly through diet and exercise.
They should tell you, at school, that ageing is accompanied by increasing pain. I didn’t sign up for this 
I take a Diclofenac (prescription strength Advil) daily. But I have had a ton of structural injuries and surgeries.
Mine is prescribed for my back damage. If you don’t have scars, you didn't play hard enough!

Well.... again, I know you will all be jealous..... but the dentist said I need a crown replaced and right next to that a new crown.... sorry... you just can't go to my dentist and get crowns on your teeth

Also have to say, I grew up in a medical family, I worked in hospitals, have relatives that are in medicine and my wife is a doctor. Add to that I an dealing with Gastritis.... there is a post on MT that, every time I read the title, I interpret very differently than what it is about
"Oh my, another GI question"
I don't read that as Gi as in martial arts uniform.... I read that as GI.... Gastrointestinal...every single time

It is an anti-inflammatory. It is not Advil.
It’s used with great caution in the U.K. due to it’s links with cardiac issues. It used to be very popular and you can still get it in those topical gels.
End users are annoying me today. They're not doing anything out of the ordinary, just being end users..not understanding how computers work, arguing over whether or not they did things they clearly did, submitting tickets without info, ignoring emails asking to confirm if something is fixed, calling me directly instead of the helpdesk to try and avoid the level 1s...
All minor things, all common, but they're bugging me today.

Welcome to my world, kinda sorta.
However the new ticketing system is so horrible, and I am not really obliged to follow it since I am a gov employee and not state, I do have users who come directly to me to get an issue fixed quickly, instead of the 2 days (no exaggeration) they have to wait with the ticketing system. And they will except thier fate if I tell them that is outside my purview and they need to submit a ticket.
Should also note the folks that control the ticketing system never contact me... and purposely exclude me.....that is unless it is something they can't fix.... then I become their best friend in the world....

Another fun day in IT
Got to love it.... I find a pile of equipment on a cart that is for surplus, I ask the Corp helpdesk folks about it, asking is that for surplus, if so, I need a list. I get a response with an attached list saying it may be in this list, just take it and check..... I can't believe I had to respond and tell him...no, that is what I just asked you to do..... when your done, give me the list.

Had a health scare this week.
Felt blah to rotten. Decided I'd see a doc today.
Turns out all I needed was a good cry.
Not surprising having the total $h!t storm the last 3 years were.
The poor triage nurses. bless them.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it things get better from here!
thank you. I am feeling much better having gotten myself checked out and pretty much realizing what the issue was.
I am the stoic one, the one who keeps it together, but I reached a breaking point for the moment.
I will be Ok though
