Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
What is the absolute maximum dose of Ibuprofen you can take in a 24 hour period? It ranges across the internet from 1200mg to 3600mg. That's quite a spread.
NAC is an anti-inflammatory, you might want to think about taking that instead of so much ibuprofen. You can still take the pain medication, but if the pain is being caused by inflammation, the NAC should assist with that.
please be careful in taking it all the time, I did, for years and years of joint pain, it is part of the reason I have Mast cell build up in my gut. It's great for reducing inflammation, does the trick, I used to take 2 or 3 every 6 hours for bad sciatica, period cramps, tendonitis.. developed MCAS, and leaky gut.
Military takes 800mg for everything, 4x a day for 3200 max
The best thing to do is combined ibuprofen and aceteminophen . 2x ibu (400mg) 1x ace (500mg) every 6 hours should be fine and as needed, an extra ibu and an extra ace. Never go over 1000mg aceteminophen every 6 hours though.
Drink green tea with them, it should help because of the light caffeine and L theanine.
Name checks out!
The less ibuprofen you take the better. If you can manage without it, the best.
