BeSeven Yes, 2 years later I still have symptoms. It's nowhere near as bad as when I was taking the drug, but I still get hives, and occasional periods of inflammation around the joints that comes and goes too quickly to be arthritis or anything like that. They've...

BeSeven If you are allergic to ibuprofen, you should not take any NSAIDs (Non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drugs). This is a class of medication that includes aspirin, Naproxen (Alleve) and of course, ibuprofen, as well as many prescription drugs. All NSAIDs are...

BeSeven Mouth sores is about the only symptom the Advil didn't give me. Wow. Hope you haven't had a symptom like this again!

BeSeven Yep, palms of hands and soles of feet--same for me. Although mine originally started with fingers. Did your symptoms go away after you stopped taking the ibuprofen? Did they ever come back?

BeSeven If you're allergic to ibuprofen, don't take aspirin or Naproxen (Alleve) either. They are cross-reactive with ibuprofen. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safe--a different type of drug. The others are in a class called NSAIDs (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs),...

BeSeven Trishleagh, I hope you are doing better now. I still have problems two years later, and while I've learned a lot, I've also learned that no one has definitive answers about this. One thing I learned for sure though, is that if you're having these kinds of...

BeSeven OMG! You are so lucky to be alive. I think everyone should carry benadryl at all times, because you never know when you could develop a severe allergic reaction to something. Better safe than sorry. I also can never take an NSAID again.

BeSeven The key is to always remember that we can develop an allergy to anything at any time. Don't assume that Advil is safe just because you haven't developed an allergy to it yet. I took it for 20 years before it caused me any problems. I'm not saying that you...

BeSeven I agree with you 100%, and there is a part of me that wants to say that this is a drawback of having a "pay for posting" system--it makes people want to post even when they have nothing to say. However, I think there's a lot more to it than that because I have...

BeSeven I teach English as a second language in a small school district, so I have students from K-12th grade. Lately, I have been discovering that the K-6th graders are a dream compared to the 7th through 12th graders. I don't know if it's the time of year, or what,...

BeSeven I have several comments here. First, it is not, repeat--NOT--your job to help her. You are her friend. That means if she needs help moving or painting her living room, by all means help her. If she confides in you that she is cheating on her husband with a man...

BeSeven I agree with the others who say that the owners are responsible and banning the breed is not right. I believe that penalties for owners who breed dogs to fight, or who have dogs that attack innocent people should be much tougher. but banning a breed because of...

BeSeven I teach ESL. I know that studying it can make students very tired. It's always hard trying to listen/read/think in a second language, and English is harder than most languages because it is very illogical. When you relax, you might want to try just watching TV...
