Hi, My husband has been diagnosed with pd for about 3 months now. Everything is confusing for us, all these different meds and medical terms, I guess we have a lot to learn. I just read your posting about the asprin and tylenol for the pain, and the ibyprophen. My husband cant take the iby because it can ruin the kidneys, he has only one kidney and had been taking ibys for years for pack pain and now his kidney isnt functioning properly. The dr. never told him about this side affect. Anyhow, I just wanted to mention this to anyone taking ibyprophen long term, be careful of it.

I have a friend that used to take 6-10 aspirin a day and then had emergency surgery. My neurologist says no to aspirin and take Tylenol or Advil instead. Just plain iburprofen is good too. Aspirin did nothing when I had a hematoma and I took extra strength Tylenol. I take a regular aspirin when I can't sleep. It helps to know that I am not alone with pain. How long have you lived with PD? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
