I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My coworkers are pooling their money for the megamillions jackpot. I declined to join in, but one of them says she'll hire me as a salaried financial consultant, so that'll do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Then another doctor told me that Advil was bad and I wasn't to take it ...
WTAF? Bad for you specifically, or bad as a blanket policy? Because obviously it's just fine for a lot of people. And if I recall that one This American Life (?) correctly, you're way less likely to overdose on Advil than Tylenol.
If there were warm fuzzy floaty feelings involved I might feel different, but for me it is extreme nausea and inability to function at any level.
Ah, so my experience both times I tried ecstasy.

Opioids put me to sleep in 15 minutes flat, dead to the world for 6-8 hrs. Help with the pain? Dunno, wasn't conscious.
They have no effect on my brother until they get to an insane dosage where they start suppressing respiration. (He was a paid guinea pig a lot in grad school...so when it happened in a study, he got all sorts of tests done that pointed to a weird genetic abnormality.) We think my mom likely has same, which is why she hated them-they did nothing for her post surgical pain. What made her miserable was the pain, drugs were irrelevant.

**(No, seriously, Tylenol might as well be M&Ms for all the good they do me. They do help with Tim's arthritis pain, though, so YTylenolMV.)
I feel the same way about advil. Anything less than 800mg is candy. Give me Tylenol

When I had my tooth abscess/root canal, the dentist gave me a schedule of 2 advil, then two hours later, 2 tylenol, and on and on. That worked really well. I believe it was to avoid opiates, as my previous root canal 10 or so years ago landed me with percocet.

My mother is classic her: she just came home from a meeting, came into my apartment to say, "should we put the yard waste barrel out?" I was like, I dunno, does it have stuff in it? Yes, it does. I'm in my pajamas! Why couldn't she just put it out on her way in when she noticed it wasn't?!? I said I'd do it in the morning.

If you have kidney issues, ibuprofen is bad. (This is probably a gross generalization.)

Apparently NSAIDs (including ibuprofen) are a no for bone healing. None allowed for me.

I was told by my doctor when I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knee that Ibuprofen was far more toxic to the kidneys than Tylenol was on the liver, and that if I was going to take one for daily pain management, it should be tylenol.
