Tylenol Recall
 

Plain Tylenol caplets are under recall.

(I assume this is the same stuff I have been using, ugh. Of course I just took some last nite, and feel totally hung over this morning.)

Here is more. It is more than Tylenol. Benadryl is involved as is Motrin and other brand name products, including baby aspirin.

It is hard to find information on the coumpound, 2,4,6-tribromoanisole. It is apparently as versatile as many of the presriptions on the market today. It is a phenolic compound, used as a fungicide, wood preservative and flame retardent in plastic.

I suppose it ought to cure my fungal infections, mummify me and keep me from imploding. I bet it is good for me too.

The ironic thing is I went from constipation to intermittent cramping and loosey, and never made the connection. Hmm. Well, no sense getting undies in a bunch....this is just one of many things we ingest, knowingly or unknowingly.

I wonder what is in my rice cakes.:eek:

Here is the FDA list, along with the lot numbers:

Thankfully, I do not have any of this. I use Execedrin Migraine for my headaches, Aleve and Ibuprofen..none of which are made by this lab.

So the question is, do I get my 6 bucks back?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, good question.

Oh, and the toilet paper I used. I figure one package ought to cover it.

Hello,
And the latest study shows Ginkgo Biloba does nothing for memory enhancement,, but it does thin the blood, I don't use any pain relievers that contain Acetaminophen such as Tylenol

It's fine. I don't have the recalled lot numbers. Must have eaten something bad. Perhaps I drank too much green tea.

Well, they do say green tea helps you lose weight...I didn't think that was what they meant. Maybe I won't try that route!:p

This problem with J & J has been going on for 20 months!

It is not a "new" situation.

Yes, MrsD. and the Risperdal thing too, which I posted under, 'More Dirt' thread. Honestly what next? Also, the BPA thing. FDA says it can not regulate BPA! It isn't a drug or food additive.....so it is out of FDA jurisdiction. Pfff. Ok, so all the canned goods are contaminated. Not to mention the plastics. Lord, what a mess.

I am of the opinion that a good deal of suffering is drug induced as well. The more I read the more I think that Americans need to evaluate what goes into their bodies.

Iatrogenic illness is a huge problem.

so coffee :confused: ,
& cigarettes :cool: ,
are the least of my worries ?? :p:rolleyes::eek:
:o;)

You know Bob, ometimes I wonder if I should have ever quit. I was just fine. And then I quit. Took 1 month for the PN to start, GI problems, and of course, cancer. Not to mention all of the other weird symptoms that have developed. I want to feel like I did when I smoked.

No, I'm not going to start again but it really cheeses me off.

In the last few months, maybe a year, I dunno, I have developed this obnoxious chemical sensitivity. I used to think this was just kinda made up....like who can be allergic to everything around them?....UH, well, I am, now. I just went to the home improvement store and rushed home to hubby's asthma inhaler....isn't helping all that much....cripes. If it isn't one thing it's another. I want my OLD body back!!!

I hear what Joan is saying!

I don't know if this is neurological, if this is an over-reaction to being off opiates, (suppresses cough), or if it is an issue with lung fibrosis, of which I have some...(at this rate, it's gonna be more.)

I have never smoked, and it is probably a darn good thing....now I can smell a cigarette a mile down wind. I can smell anything downwind these days. No judgment intended, just a fact. I simply can't breathe as well as I used to. I am sure my dogs don't help matters either with all this fur and dander. I don't know what to do with a 100 pound lap dog. He hates it outside, unless I am out there. Air cleaner dries my eyes out.

I felt better when I abused myself, lol.:eek: Pardon me, I gotta go cough up my lung, and wheeze for a bit.

This is sooo not attractive.:o

Now I have to tell you, I have always had a very keen sense of smell, even when I smoked. I could and can smell it if someone is boiling water downstairs when I'm upstairs. So when people would tell me "you should quit smoking because your sense of smell will improve a lot, it never encouraged me because this is a very stinky world--why the heck would I want to smell it any more acutely?

I don't want to discourage anyone, but the only thing quitting did for me was save money and make me slightly more popular. Otherwise, I've never felt worse in my life.

Still, I don't think I could ever put a cigarette to my lips because I went to a hypnotist to quit, and he planted the idea that they're filty and have rat pee in them. But strangely I don't mind being around smokers so I never give them a hard time.

OK, I will admit the above statement is not really true. I'm not any more popular.

I still like you Joan....rat pee??? You poor thing, what trauma!


I simply can't breathe around smoke, even burnt toast. It has nothing to do with who or what is producing it. LOL.

UH...OH !!
Got the results in the mail...CT scan confirms
the previous x-ray Dx......Emphysema ...:(.but no tumors, adenopathy (whatever that is :confused:) or other problems noted
Doc says "..but you need to work on the smoking" :rolleyes::mad:

Duh ?:eek:
:cool:
Easier said than done.
I know - I've quit before... tortures from He!!

Oh, I am sorry to hear this.

I hope you'll be able to quit with as little discomfort as possible, Bob!

I'm sorry Bob. I hope you can find something to help that works for you.

Bob, you are cantakerous enough to do this. You can quit.

And I'm sure--
 

--we'll be hearing about it all the cantankerous way through. :)

BTW, adenopathy would be swollen or enlarged lymph nodes, so it's good there isn't any.

I'm sure there's a forum for helping quitting.
through the lung assn., or somewhere.
That'll prolly be where I'll be, when am going thru it.

My youngest son, who took up the habit in rebellion, has struggled to quit for years. He called that free number, QuitAssist, or something like that and got free nicotine patches, and he weaned himself down pretty fast and is going on two months. He asked for Nictoine gum for Christmas. It is pricey, but, well worth the money. He is off everything now...no nicotine...now to see if he can make it for a year.

Bob towards the end of my career i was put on light duty and was doing security at headquarters. They had a smoking sessation program there in the evening and i helped out. It was pretty successful and what they used was wellbutrin and one of those what look like small cigarette holders that has nicotene in it that you puff on to get over the rough spots. The wellbutrin also was tapered down until you were off it. Seemed to work very well for many people. Good luck with quitting and i wish you the best.

You know, Bob. You might try posting on Social Forum and asking if anyone has tips/support. I can recall reading various people on the boards who have quit successfully.

Social forum is where many people do look in, and you might get some responses here. Just an idea.

Thanks, MrsD. I'll check it out.
Echoes- I've tried Wellbutrin in the past - its too weak to do anything for me. I have a very high drug tolerance system. Always have, even as a kid.

Maybe I might give this new Chantrix a try. But some of the s/e seem weird. But I'll give anything a trial-once.
We shall see what happens with my wife's quitting at the same time.
I'm not having a lot of luck getting a commitment from her- lots of evasions and unfinished sentences.
I don't think I can do it if she doesn't stop, as well.
It'll be in my face, in the house, all the time if she doesn't.
