Some #humour to make you all #laugh while I am in the #ER with a foot #injury: They offered me both #Tylenol and #Advil for the pain. I refused Advil because itโ€™s contradicted with my #IBD but I took the Tylenol because give me the #autism upgrade with the #acetaminophen. ๐Ÿคฃ
๐ŸŽญ Oh, what a riveting tale of the medicine cabinet's deadly duo: #acetaminophen and #ibuprofen. Because clearly, nothing screams excitement quite like learning that your #headache #relief might come with a side of #hospital #drama. ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ’Š Who knew popping pills could be as thrilling as an episode of a medical soap opera? ๐Ÿ™„

Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and what doctors probably want you to know.

The Mystery in the Medicine Cabinet

Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and what doctors probably want you to know.

Asterisk

This week I had some of the wildest, most vivid dreams.

On three different nights, the dreams were so immersive that I could feel sensations like rain and wind. Emotionally, they were incredibly raw. I woke up one morning crying, and another morning, livid. I often have lucid dreams, but these felt more real.

I kept thinking, whatโ€™s changed? After some reflection, I realized the only thing different about those nights was that I took 1000mg of Tylenol (acetaminophen) right before bed. Iโ€™d been taking it regularly for a few weeks due to a serious injury, but recently had stopped, except for those three nights.

Curious, I did some digging and found out that taking Tylenol before bed has actually been linked, for some people, to more vivid or emotionally intense dreams. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ I had never heard of this before!

Just wanted to share in case anyone else has noticed something similar. The power of these dreams has really stayed with me and given me a lot to reflect on.

No link between acetaminophen in pregnancy and autism, a new study finds

A scientific review of 43 studies on acetaminophen use during pregnancy concluded that there was no evidence that the painkiller increased the risk of autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders. โ€œWe found no clinically important increase in the risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability,โ€ Dr. Asma Khalil, a professor of obstetrics and maternal fetal medicine [โ€ฆ]
