    yeah be careful. sometimes a cup of strong coffee helps. i am off los of caffeine so i think paracetamol for me should hopefully do it.. i am still trying to work but my eyes are focused on the music channel. aghh and my tummy is talking to me about more food. hehe

    Yeah, chocolate may not help. But I'm female, therefore it would temporarily make me feel better (while eating it!) I took some tablets given to me by a fellow sufferer... But think they are a bit strong. My heart beat slowed right down n I feel a bit 'dazed'. Don't think I will take them again...! I actually feel drugged.... Hmmm apparently they are not prescription but behind the counter.

    Just wondering, are they Cocodamol? Apparently the codeine in it can cause side effects in some people. And even the 8mg one is quite strong even though it is over the counter.

    No, they are syndol but they do have codeine in. So it probably that. He said take 2, so I did, but he is probably 50% heavier/ bigger. Just had a couple of m&s tea cakes... :o well choc makes me feel better...!

    Yea its the codeine that people react to. I'm lucky that I don't because I need the prescription version which is double the strength of the over the counter stuff.

    Pregnancy and Ibuprofen don't mix

    Jo i always used to have ibuprofen as well and i have had to stop that.. i find paracetamol doesnt work on me, but i cant take anything else.. i think its quite strong and the chances of a miscarriage are higher with ibuprofen. :(
