Beware of Tylenol (acetaminophen). It’s on the list of drugs that are hazardous in large doses or in frequent doses/day, because the drug is so widely disseminated (often surreptitiously) in over 100 over-the-counter preparations. It is known to damage the liver when overused.

You might want to try a DNA/genetic profile to assess what pain medications would work better for you.
Ask your doc..they are available.

I agree also check other pain meds for Tylenol in them. Many years ago I was taking big doses of Tylenol to supplement the minor prescription pain medicine I got from the VA. My private doctor did a blood test and said my liver was dying, we discussed it and since I do not drink or use any illegal drugs it came down to Tylenol that I took plus the Tylenol in the prescription medicine. I switched to a stronger prescription pain medicine and stopped all Tylenol, today my liver is fine. It is your health, find out what is in your medication and how they interact. 19lin

I will have to ask either my neurologist or pain management drs, about the
genetic testing. Thank you from ladyjane85

Thank you to dawn_giacabazi about the info on Pharmacogenetic
testing….from ladyjane85

Having epilepsy all my life, I have seen and studied factors from marijuana use for seizures as well as chronic pain. One thing that has remained in my mind is “that if it is used by people over 50 years of age; several studies have indicated that you will more likely face some form of emotional, psychological, or other deterioration through the brain.” The reason pointed out was that, with age our bodies slow down in growth factors; per age the brain is also said to become smaller in size. Per ones individual system, “I wouldn’t take a chance at using marijuana at above 50 years of age. Look at it another way, if chemo can cause heart and kidney problems 5 or more years after use–is it worth taking a chance? It’s a personal decision that should be examined thoroughly.

I have taken high doses of Tylenol and had blood in my urine the next day. I went into the ER but fortunately the doctor said it was not that bad and would stop. It took about a week. So make sure you can take a high doses of Tylenol especially if you have stomach problems

My body did not respond to it at all, anyway.

WHAT DO U MEAN BY “HIGH DOSES”? i THINK THE LIMIT IS NOW 4 GRAMS/DAY FOR ADULTS BUT CHECK THAT OUT WITH MAYO CLINIC OR PHARTMACIST OR MANUFACTURER.

Is there a name for this testing process? This could be exciting! Thanks!!

@vickiekay it is call pharmacogenetic testing also know as PGx or monecular profiling.

Yes it is very exciting!! 🙂

please try sublingual CBD it is from the plant, no smoking, no TCH so you don’t get high. It helped a great deal with my chronic pain of nerve damage from a hernia operation.

Thank you for the terminologies dawn_giacabazi. ladyjane85

I just tried the oil (smoked) THC from marijuana 3 diff x’s, and more than
a male would use – no reaction at all.
Am being told of sublingual CBD for pain – do not know price. Then told of
testing for diff meds since either I react badly of they do not help at
all. This is called pharmacogenetic testing or PBx or monecular profiling –
will have to talk to my pain management dr. ladyjane85

This was THC, meaning oil made from marijuana. The person said uses three
puffs on electric cigarette, I never got high or felt anything even after 4
puffs – dare not go higher. ladyjane85
