I was warned about not taking any additional acetominiphen (wow, I can still spell on drugs! - I think) because of the danger to your liver. I know I'm just a little off/slow mentally because of them, but if I don't take the maximum dose, I regret it. I'll just have to ask friends for rides if I want to go anywhere when Ron goes back to Madison. Too bad Tom hasn't gotten his permit back yet. I'm bugging him to work on it. Call me if you want to talk. I'm not going very far these days.Deborah in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17306746503482100163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-63953229961544781102011-08-26T09:51:55.349-05:002011-08-26T09:51:55.349-05:00It might not be because you're male, it might ...It might not be because you're male, it might be you're just such a mean-lookin' dude...Nickhttp://facebook.com/nrezmerskinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-42779207742566559072011-08-25T23:23:29.581-05:002011-08-25T23:23:29.581-05:00God bless your friends for their good advice on th...God bless your friends for their good advice on the acetaminophine, that explains why Dr. Grampa changed your prescription. <br /><br />Re: The breast cancer ladies.

The aceteminophine (I probably spelled that wrong...oh well) can be VERY toxic and you need all your energy focused on battling the evil cancer and not dividing it's time trying to heal the liver as well. There are some very good alternatives available, so keep pestering Dr. Grampa if you aren't getting the relief you need. *karebear hugs* :-)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812610781614173821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-2970420464937060592011-08-25T15:49:24.467-05:002011-08-25T15:49:24.467-05:00aw man, i'm so sorry about your back. fentanyl...aw man, i'm so sorry about your back. fentanyl is great stuff, and i'm glad to hear it's working for you. may it continue to do so. <br /><br />beware the large doses of tylenol, however. this is one of the drawbacks of putting both tylenol and opioids in one pill: the body develops tolerance to the opioid and needs more of it over time, but the tylenol is very toxic to your liver at anything over the maximum recommended dose. 650mg every 2 hours is decidedly in the danger zone. <br /><br />at some point in the future, if you find the current dose of oxy/tylenol on top of the fentanyl isn't helping you as much anymore, i'd recommend you ask dr. grampa for an Rx for just the oxy alone. you can take tylenol separately, to the limit, then as much oxy as you need. <br /><br />i know the dopiness is no fun. the only time i ever had to take oxycodone i HATED it and wanted off as soon as possible. but good pain control will actually help you get better. not only that, it's a better way to live.<br /><br />hugs and good wishes.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000746941677781925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-23260897210489785222011-08-25T13:29:02.298-05:002011-08-25T13:29:02.298-05:00You said yourself that the infusion center was a v...You said yourself that the infusion center was a vulnerable place. Women undergoing breast cancer treatment have often lost two of the things that define them as "attractive" - particularly to men - their breasts and their hair. When you are used to having men respond to the quality of your chest and your mane - it would take a very courageous woman in that vulnerable place not to seek the shelter of people more likely to understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029129453140655773.post-10536240461061141072011-08-25T13:15:36.346-05:002011-08-25T13:15:36.346-05:00Reverse sexism for a "lesser" cancer.......Reverse sexism for a "lesser" cancer....absurd!

For ribbons and all, there is that "Cancer Sucks" wristband, which I've seen Kevin wearing. But are you absolutely sure there is no ribbon for bladder cancer? There may be one in one of the better dictionaries -- in the back behind "Morse Code, Solar Eclipses, Flags of All Nations." With Bladder Cancer sandwiched between Beri Beri and Bright's Disease. <br /><br />--DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
