Re: Topical okay?/From Lyn

[Guest guest]

Thank you Harper,

I use Ben Gay and Zostrix for my arthritis. It is a cream to be rubbed into the skin for the joints.

The zostrix is made from hot peppers.. Ben Gay is menthol. I think I will just forget about the emu cream.

I don't get any help from my gastroenterologist. His office just tells me to call my GP and she never heard of PLD, so she really doesn't know..

She gave me Ultracet for pain, which has 325 mgs. of tylenol and 371/2 mgs of ultram and told me to take them 4x's a day. I don't want to take that much tylonel.

Thanks for responding. I can always count on you to at least tell me what you know or don't know.

Again, thanks for responding and have a nice evening.

Anything that you eat OR put on your skin needs to be okayed by your doctor.

(Also, if this blue emu cream just sits on the skin, why would it be any more helpful than, say, ordinary hand cream? I'd do some serious research before spending much money on it)

Lyn,

Would she switch you to Ultram - no Tylenol in that. I take it for

fibromyalgia - up to 8 pills per day depending on the pain.

Wow, Cece! That is scarey! I have taken it my whole life for

pain. I'm going to quit giving it to my children too!

I know in some people , their liver just cannot handle it. I have read and heard of several cases where this has happened.

Thank you for posting.

, please please please dont use that much tylenol. my liver failure and transplant happened all within 2 days because of taking 2 regular tylenol 4 x a day for 5 years. it is such a bad medicine you know that but you may think that it wont hurt anyone you know, thats what i thought but it is so untrue. anytime i hear someone talk about tylenol i feel i owe it to them to tell my story.
