Absolutely, Jilli. I took four 200 mg every eight hours at the height of my back spasm hell. If you ever take four at once, it's smart to take them with food, though.

I took two 200mg ibuprophen about an hour and a half ago. So far, they haven't even taken the edge off the cramps. Is it okay for me to take two more?

Theoretically yes (says the NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL), just remember the Rule of Two for ibuprofen - Wait two hours for each 200mgs you take - Two hours for 200mg, four hours for 400mg, six hours for 600mg.

Basically if you take another 400mg, you shouldn't have any more for another six hours (roughly the difference between the doseage sets).

Oh good. I'm going to try and not take anymore today/tonight after this next pair (which makes 4, total), because I already know tonight is going to involve Vicodan at bedtime.

Gotcha.

Er, I meant - if you take anoth 400mg, of course, but you prolly figured that out.

Oh, hell yeah.

Huh. You know, it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, I should use the OTC ibuprophen for headaches instead of the 600mg ones I got for having a baby.

I just brought Toto's bed out to the living room. He's all curled up in it. It's so sweet.

Is JZ around? I just got a flyer saying that the Heart of the Forest Rennfaire was about to pack it in, and I didn't remember if that was the good Bay Area faire or the evil Bay Area faire.

I read something upstream about David taking JZ to an airport, but since I skipped 1,000 message before today's, that's all I know.

Do any of the bayareaistas have an endodontist they would recommend? The people I went to on an emergency basis want to send me to Cupertino for my root canal, since their regular referral endodontist doesn't take my insurance.

No, and yes. No, I don't know anyone, but I highly highly recommend my dentist and if you'll call his office, I expect they'll have a good recommendation. They've given good recs for friends in other parts of the West Coast before. I'll email you his name/address.

Sparky! We saw an ultralight

Did it take off from Mt. Tam and land on the beach? It might have been a Milennium.

It was coming down/heading south towards the beach as we were walking into town. It looked more square than a hang glider though I'm no expert. The squareness made me think it was some kind of ultralight. Too bad we weren't on the beach because they're fun to watch. While you're trying not to be in their way, too, of course.
