Can I take 3 Motrin? in Health ·
Motrin is basically just standard Advil 200...
It’s the exact same pill—same color, same ingredients—just twice the price for no reason.
Do yourself a favor and grab some Ibuprofen 600, the white ones.
Check the label first, though—I'm pretty sure the single dose limit is 800 mg, with a daily cap of 3200 mg.
INGREDIENTS:
MOTRIN
One film-coated tablet contains 400 mg of ibuprofen—the active ingredient—plus these extras: lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, Tartrazine, and Titanium dioxide.
ADVIL 200
One film-coated tablet contains 200 mg of ibuprofen.
Inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, Tartrazine, and
Titanium dioxide.
IBUPROFEN 600
One film-coated tablet contains 600 mg of ibuprofen.
Inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose and Titanium dioxide.
IBUPROFEN 800
One film-coated tablet contains 800 mg of ibuprofen.
Inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose and Titanium dioxide.
Maximalist 3x2, Cintas—keep it somewhere warm and dry, honestly, a bed would probably be best..
Amalgam issues: what are your thoughts? in Health ·
My buddy’s wife actually had some work done by her dentist recently—he went ahead and swapped out all those old amalgam fillings for ceramic ones. I’m pretty sure he ended up paying about $67 per tooth, which brought the total to roughly $833 to get everything finished up..
If you take a look at his teeth now, you can barely tell he ever had any fillings at all; it’s such a convincing imitation of a natural smile..
Common Cold in Health ·
So, I went ahead and grabbed some DayQuil and Echinacea—hopefully this actually does something...

Common Cold in Health ·
Ugh, I'm feeling it too... that brutal wind outside just blew right through me.
Tomorrow, I'm hitting up the 24-hour CVS to grab some Maxflu.
Echinacea extracts, Immunal, and all those similar supplements...
Look, you’ve got to find some kind of balance with your diet—going to extremes is a recipe for disaster..
The math is pretty simple: don't eat more calories than you actually burn..
At the end of the day, obesity—which is basically the root of all these issues—happens because we’re just fueling ourselves way more than we need..
If you want to keep your weight in check, the move is to switch to smaller, more frequent meals, cut back on those heavy animal fats, and actually get moving—exercise isn't optional here..
For what it's worth, I'm 5'11", weigh about 175 lbs, and my waist is 30 inches..
Flu symptoms in Health ·
The truth about how you deal with the flu? There isn't one..
Basically, you just have to ride it out for about seven days—which means plenty of rest, eating actual healthy food instead of junk, staying hydrated, keeping your fever down, and sticking to symptomatic relief (like DayQuil..)
It also doesn't hurt to take some immune boosters based on Echinacea, like Immunal..
Scalp issues in Health ·
There have already been a few threads about this—honestly, I’ve mostly just stuck with Pantene, which does the trick for me. I use it constantly, and once a month, I'll massage some Advil gel into my scalp to keep things under control...
Burst sewage pipe? in Health ·
I actually asked a buddy about this back in '94 when it first hit me..
Look, we live in a country where it's usually better to just pay up and get an answer immediately—though, obviously, not everyone has that kind of cash lying around..
Burst sewage pipe? in Health ·
@Roger Garcia9, if you really want to get ahead of this, I’d suggest the same heavy-duty antibiotic regimen I had to go through...
I'm talking doxycycline—both shots and pills—paired with some cranberry supplements.
The thing about UTIs is that you have to knock them out completely within a two-week window—otherwise, they turn chronic within about a month, and then you're looking at a real nightmare to fix.
Good luck..
Best hemorrhoid treatments? in Health ·
FactSet is more like a way to manage the symptoms $13 rather than an actual cure for the underlying issue...
For those dealing with hemorrhoids:
Detralex tablets:
Take 6 tablets a day for the first week—3 times 2
then drop down to 4 a day—2 times 2—for the next 21 days..
Pair it with some chamomile tea twice a day + the FactSet
It sounds like quite the regimen $200, but..
In my experience, I had an external thrombosed one that was bleeding, and that's when it just cleared up on its own..
Yeah, it actually vanished—I honestly couldn't believe it..
Best hemorrhoid treatments? in Health ·
So, apparently, we’re talking about hemorrhoid capsules now? Because clearly, that was the missing piece in my life—just what I needed to add to the mental checklist. Just a little something extra to deal with while everything else is going sideways. Honestly, if anyone actually has a recommendation that works, feel free to drop it, because this is definitely not how I planned to spend my afternoon.
Detralex tablets.
Burst sewage pipe? in Health ·
I've actually had swabs done three times now!
Burst sewage pipe? in Health ·
Urinary tract infections can be absolute nightmares—they're incredibly stubborn because those little microorganisms love to nest deep inside you, making them nearly impossible to shake...
You really need to get a urethral swab done...
The goal is to hit the culprit with a targeted antibiotic...
I used to deal with constant flare-ups myself, but thank God that's finally behind me. You just have to be careful about staying warm—don't let yourself get chilled, watch your weight, dress properly during the winter months, stuff like that...

Christian Harris74 said:Hemorrhoid ligation. Has anyone actually had this procedure done at the Mayo Clinic? And what kind of method do they use?
Thanks!

This was mentioned earlier in the thread, but basically, they usually do it under local anesthesia—so you won't feel much pain during the actual thing. They just tie off the hemorrhoids with these little rubber bands, and then they dry up over a few weeks. Within a month, you’re basically a new person..
The recovery is pretty rough, though—not gonna lie..
Headache help! in Health ·
True, half of that comes down to nerves... though there are plenty of other things that can trigger it—sinus issues, bad eyesight, or just spending way too much time staring at a TV or a computer screen
Yeah, just so we're clear—what’s your white blood cell count usually looking like when you're dealing with inflammation?

Yeah, Detralex is actually solid..
I used to pick it up for about $40 in my neck of the woods..
