But, on a slightly more bummer note, yesterday when I got home, the boy was complaining of a tummy ache and had a 101 fever. Gave him some Advil, let him poop, and put him to bed. When I checked later on, his fever seemed to have gone away.
So I'm hoping he's doing well this morning.
I suspect it may have been a tummy ache brought on by candy consumption at his Mommy's Day Out Valentine's party. He usually doesn't eat candy.

pooping is important with feve, or so iI have been raised to believe.

Good morning to you AZ, I was just thinking about you this morning while watching modern marvels. They were talking about animal engineers and some of the ingenious things Prarie dogs and meercats came up with brought you to mind. Engineering is fascinating.
Fast zombie meerkat/prairie dog swarm? That'd be much worse than Tremors. {shudders}

I decided to take the day off ibuprofen yesterday to give my gut lining a break and not tempt the specter of internal bleeding.
Oh, bad idea. Do not do. Now I know why I take so much of that stuff. Finally knocked myself out with Benadryl at 8:30 to give a new dose of ibuprofen time to work and to take a break from the glorious kingdom of pain. Criminy.

Heya, all! Thanks for the kind words yesterday! Sorry I wasn't around after posting. I had a busy day.
And, today is Valentine's Day. The real-life group is responding to my recent love woes by kidnapping me for most of the day. They stated up an entire gang composed only of clones of my EX and we're going to reenact the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Using repeating crossbows and spells.
Not the healthiest way of doing things, but I just can't be bothered to care.

Did I mention I posted the paladins for my Campaign setting last night? Not sure if I did not as I was high on coffee yesterday (I am very sensitive to cheap coffee, it seems).
This is cool ^^ I'll have to reread it later!

I slightly OD'd on ibuprofen back in 2007-ish, back when my teeth were first really getting bad. I've only just within the past two weeks felt comfortable with taking it again. Coughing up blood and massive stomach pains are no fun at all.
If you can take aspirin or acetaminophen (Tylenol for the unaware), I highly recommend it instead - that's what I had to switch to when I started having problems with ibuprofen. Excedrin or a knockoff of it works great during the day, though you won't want to take it at night because of the caffeine content; Tylenol PM (or store-brand substitute) would be my recommendation there.
As long as you stick to the recommended dosage for the ibuprofen though (6 maximum per day, 4 hours apart) you should be fine.

The pain is more manageable today, at least. I realized this morning that i'm knocking on the door of max ibuprofen dosage and it's making life bearable at best. Now what? :/
>_<
At least in my own case, the pain just got worse until even the painkillers I could use wouldn't do anything; the only thing that made it bearable was finally having the surgery to get the rotted things out.
If that's not an option for whatever reason... I'm out of ideas, unfortunately.

Yeah, doubling up on ibuprofen and acetaminophen was something I and my siblings learned we could do - when absolutely necessary - when we were very young.
I did not know Aleve was different than ibuprofen - it was one of the first things I tried when I had to get off ibuprofen, and the fact that I almost instantly had the same reaction (coughing blood and severe stomachache) just made me think it was ibuprofen, and I've apparently been laboring under that mistaken impression for over seven years.
I'm curious what acetaminophen does that has you worried. Of all the painkillers I've ever taken it's the only one I've never had some kind of side effect from, and it has the most variance of dosage that I can get away with.
All that said, I highly recommend a doctor visit ASAP.

Acetaminophin has the narrowest theraputic/toxic boundary of any drug. It's toxic effect? It destroys your liver. So yeah, you don't ever want to double up on Tylenol.
I was on Aleve when it was still prescription and liked it, but didn't realize it and ibuprofen used similar mechanisms. Drugs are really quite fascinating when you don't need them.

Good news! I got blogger working on my phone! Bad news! The blogger app doesn't seem to work so I'm stuck blogging through the webpage, not the app. Not sure if that's a bad thing or a good thing or what.

here's hoping you feel better soon Treppa, and that we all find pain meds that don't adversely affect our liver or kidneys overmuch in the near future.
