I cannot take any supplements at all, and struggle with anything that's a pill and from a bottle, and so I am unsure whether I can actually take anything for any kind of pain.

I recently had a bad reaction to Tylenol and I have a serious problem with aspirin too. Can anyone suggest something else for me to try. Thanks!

Can you get a pill that can be crushed without loosing its effectiveness? Ask a doctor or pharmacist.

What kind of reaction did you have to Tylonel? That's generally safe for us to take and no surprise about the aspirin since that's a blood thinner and a general no no for us.

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. I can take tablets per se, but due to my MCS I feel very ill with many supplements, vitamins, and medications, everything really. It is why my body couldn't handle all the meds I have tried so far. I think I might have MCAS! But anyway, I wanted to try something else in the hope that I have at least something in the house if I need it. After taking Tylenol I felt very unwell, sweaty, hot flushes, red rash on hands, exactly the same kind of symptoms I get with most medicines.

Do you live in a medical marijuana state/province? I've been struggling with headaches and nausea from my norcos and t3's and have been considering asking my GI about some sort of cannabis oil or tincture for pain and nausea. I don't really want to start smoking, but have heard good anecdotal evidence for CBD oil.

Thank you Alice I will look at Tramadol.

elzb, thanks but I have salicylate intolerance which means I struggle with anything that is plant based, but what I have heard about medical marijuana seems good, and so if you can have it I would go for it.

If you're having intestinal pain, for me peppermint oil capsules work and as does Bentyl.

~~~~~~~~~Does peppermint oil stop the pain from the cramping ??????
