Songbird, my heart goes out to you! That's worse than robbing food from someone who's starving.
Don't get me started on hubands and advise, like renee has said they just have to "fix" things and can't always cope well. Yeah, ibuprofun won't touch it.

Covering my face here in case you want to throw rocks at me..............
This is an emergency situation, how about a big alcoholic drink?
I've done that with citrus juice for the extra vitamin c that helps and magnesium. I know the interaction could be very bad in case you have
other meds. that could cause a worse reaction. In that case PLEASE DISREGARD.
I want you to feel better!
