The OFFICIAL Pain in the Ass Poll!!!!

[HomerMcvie]

So, when you've got a splitting headache, or bodyaches, what do you take?

[michaelD]

Again with the vicodin, 6 beers, and a spliff.

[HomerMcvie]

^^^Spliff???

[michaelD]

Joint, doobie, number, hog leg....

[HomerMcvie]

^^^My bad....I've never heard spliff!

[michaelD]

Probably a Rastafarian thing???
Bob and Ziggy Marley have a few songs mentioning the term.

[estranged4life]

I listen to the most brutal music known to man-kind to relieve the 'pain' I am under.

Which is what? Music does the body, mind and soul good...

Black/Death metal.

I'm a rarity, I listen to Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks & Behemoth/Deicide/God Forbid/etc. equally - Cant headbang to FM as much as metal, but some Ledgies in OKC 2003 saw that I can 'bang to the Mac at a show.

[Mari]

Umm, paracetamol (tylenol in the US, I think), iboprofen (?), drink a lot of water, yoga-breathing exercises.. sometimes I just go to bed and sleep a lot, other times I get physically active, clean the house and stuff.
Had a f***ing headache for 3-4 months now. (meds-related)
Perhaps I should try headbanging;)

Maybe you should just bitch-slap Ouisa Boudreaux!;)

[Mari]

^ I like the idea. Hm yeah, like it.

edit, just read that thread. I hate chick flicks :lol:
So yeah, of course I would bitch slap her!

[danax6]

Ibuprofen or a joint.

[markolas]

You could always wash down a handful of Soma with a fifth of Old Crow, like my grandmother; if you don't mind being either psychotic or completely unconscious for a few days.

Right on... I also into some of that...
Lamb of God, Slayer, Static X, etc...

[DrummerDeanna]

You're such a dork Mr. Homer...I love it! :lol:

Since my pain reliever of choice was not up there I chose that I slap Ouisa Boudreaux.

In reality I take Ibuprofen :D

[michelle2677]

I very rarely take pain medication, even otc, unless I've had a surgery or something. But for aches/pains etc-I just bear it usually.

[xdreamsunwindx]

It's usually a cocktail of Ibuprophen, Motörhead, and some ass-kickin'.

[foxyluva]

I take asprin - I don't know what the american equivalent is :shrug:

[DrummerDeanna]

I take asprin - I don't know what the american equivalent is :shrug:

Asprin. We have that here too :nod:

[foxyluva]

Asprin. We have that here too :nod:

Oh - I just looked it up though, tylenol is the US equivalent to our asprin :)

What is asprin there?

[DrummerDeanna]

Oh - I just looked it up though, tylenol is the US equivalent to our asprin :)

What is asprin there?

Oh...but we do have Aspirin...maybe that's the generic name for it? I think the main pain relieving ingredient in it is Acetomenophin (I don't know how badly I just butchered that word) - and that is the main ingredient in Tylenol.

[amber]

Tylenol is acetaminophen, aspirin is made out of aspirin. Then there is ibuprofen, which is Advil and Motrin and the like.
For some reason, acetaminophen doesn't make my headaches go away at all.

[bretonbanquet]

I take nothing generally.. an aspirin maybe if a headache is very bad or if I'm driving a long way. Otherwise it's just uhh.. steely resolve in the face of overwhelming pain and suffering :nod:

[skcin]

Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid (acetosal)
Motrin/Advil are ibuprofen
Tylenol/Paracetemol are acetominophen
Aleve is naproxen sodium (I think)

I prefer ibuprofen or aspirin, but it jacks up my stomach so badly I have to take crappy Tylenol.

Ah..ok...I didn't realize Aspirin wasn't acetominophen...but it makes sense...

I don't know what I'd do without Ibuprofen...I love it, and am so glad it doesn't wrack out my tummy...it's the only pain reliever that seems to work for me.

[HomerMcvie]

Yep, me too. I love Ibuprofen. It's better than all the rest.

And, you're not supposed to take acetomenaphine if you like to drink!:woohoo:

[DrummerDeanna]

I'm just afraid of OD'ing on acetomenaphin...so I just don't take it. Oh, actually I do have some Tylenol PMs for the rare occassion I can't get to sleep...otherwise, it's all Ibuprofen all the time.

[skcin]

Yeah, yeah, I'm well aware. :mad:

[DrummerDeanna]

Really? I never knew that...why not?

So the two Tylenol PMs that I took Friday after drinking - not a good idea??

[goldie]

Advil.

Unless it's a migraine.....then it's the prescription migraine meds.....Zomig.
