Question:

Spoiler squick :

Is it possible for ibuprofen capsules to cause raging diarrhoea? Its the only thing in common between this time and the last time i got it because now Im eating solid food. I could only find side effect for small children.

Only if you have some sort of allergy. Try a different pain reliever for a while and see if you get a different result.

Well the arthritis pills don't work very well on headaches and those are the only two I have.

Also the ibuprofen is not the brand i usually get. I usually get a store-brand tablets from one store. This time I got store-brand "gel capsules" from another store.

Get some excederine or tylanol.

Ibuprofen is the name of the drug. Branded ibuprofen is a completely pointless waste of money. 500 mg of ibuprofen is, by law, quite exactly identical in every way if it's the generic chemist/ supermarket own brand or the 10x as expensive name brand.

Never take ibuprofen on an empty stomach. My Auntie works in drug development and happily gave the cats left over antibiotics to her son. Every time she comes back to the uk she picks up generic ibuprofen since this is either impossible to get in france or just oddly the same price as branded. She is religious about the no-ibuprofen-on-an-empty-stomach thing.

Well, I usually get the plain tablets. This time I got these capsules (I was at a different store) and I think there is something inside the capsule that does not agree with me.

I don't bother with any of the fancy brands like Advil. My arthritis pills are Tylenol because thats what the doctor gave me.

I didnt have the pills on an empty stomach either. The one time I tried that i regretted it.

Why do women seem to think that when a man urinates, it comes out like a laser beam rather than a random stream?

Well why else would they have such tiny cups for urine tests?

Well why else would they have such tiny cups for urine tests?

Us men hold the cup very very close, or at least I do. I make sure the tip of my urination equipment (Yay for avoiding using a naughty word) is at least in the cup so as to avoid spilling.

In fact, I'd say we have more problems stopping than the actual act.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Well how are females supposed to get their pee into the little cup. It just goes everywhere down your leg even which is pretty nasty.

From what I've been told it looks like monolingualism is majoritary.

Are paid surveys worth it? They sound too good to be true.

How does one tie a scarf like this?

 

[Quackers]

[NedimNapoleon]

What is walk-in ammonia? Also is it contagious

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

What is walk-in ammonia?

It might be walk in pneumonia. It means that you have pneumonia (a lung disease) and that you are still standing.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

That makes sense. It sounded like "walk-in ammonia" and I thought it was some sort of cleaner poisoning or something.

Can you crack a ceiling with very loud sounds? I was reading something and it mentioned that.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

It is not walk-in pneumonia, but walking pneumonia. While I too was thinking it referred to an inflammatory infection of the lungs not severe enough to leave one bedridden, but it seems thatit actually refers to any pneumonia not caused by the kinds of pathogens that typically cause it.

Loud enough sound of the proper frequency can break just about anything.
