Tylenol extra strength for me too. I get bad cramps too (I have endometriosis) and it gave me some relief (until it wore off then I'd take 2 more).

We aren't allowed to take Midol or Pamprin after surgery??

I'm just wondering, because Midol is my savior..my first day of my period is horrible, with cramps, goosebumps, and lower back pain.

From my knowledge, there are a few variations of Midol; some are NSAID and some aren't. This can easily be found out by checking out the bottle when you're at the store. I believe Pamprin is an NSAID but again most of the meds say right on the bottle very clearly if they are an NSAID. Hope this helps.

When it comes down to the time of the month I am a rule breaker...I have a bottle of Midol by my side. If I am out of Midol its Pamprin. I get really, really bad cramps from my PCOS and horrible back pain from the period of death so the Midol helps a lot to which Tylenol doesn't help one bit.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
