I tried an experiment last night and it didn’t work. Like many folks who get older, sleeping can be a challenge. I had gotten in the habit this winter of taking a couple of Ibuprofen when I went to bed. That usually allowed me to get 4-5 hours of good sleep.
But, since I’ve been coughing for the last month and had been presribed a number of medications, my pill-taking aversion reappeared. I thought I could get by not taking Ibuprofen last night.
I was wrong. I still needed the two pills at bedtime.
So here it is, Monday morning, I’m bleary, when I finally got to sleep this morning, I overslept.
Bottom line: no post today. See you all tomorrow.
Be careful to not take tbem on an empty stomach ! I use to take them nightly too. At some point i started having stomach problems. I wound up getting pictures of inside of my tummy. Those pills caused dozens of ulcers. Lesson learned.Read more…
Aspirin does that. I’ve not had any problems with Ibuprofen.
Back in the 90s, I took a LOT of aspirin. So much, that I poisoned myself. I’d get nosebleeds at the drop of a hat, bruised easily and other like problems.Read more…
wow, that’s really bad! 🙁 I had to take prescription stomach pills twice a day for months to get them healed, and still have to take them at least once a day…
I used to have an ulcer. Then, I had an attitude change and it healed. Not had any problems since and rarely even heart-burn. That was 15 years ago.
As Poor Richard would say; “Up sluggard and waste not life. In the grave will be sleep enough!” 🙂
