      i mean to what degree does it even affect your liver from taking one pill when you occasionally get a headache?

      like it cant be worse than one beer, right

        Ibuprofen crew checking in.

        Those of us with minor, chronic pain would like to keep what’s left of our stomach linings.

            Taking it every day wears away your stomach and intestinal lining and you could get ulcers. Also generally it’s not just one, it’s 3-4. Sometimes multiple times a day.

              My aunt actually had this happen went brain dead from the loss of blood when a huge ulcer popped. She was in the hospital for a lung biopsy when it happened it was pretty terrible and it was later concluded ibuprofen was the most likely cause.

              yeah i mean if you have significant issues with migraines you prob shouldnt be taking it every day but rather finding a more permanent solution, also is that only ibuprofen? what about acetaminophen or nsaids
