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
I remember a while ago, someone posted something about taking Sudafed to treat their migraines but found out that their local store no longer carry Sudafed, so they had to procure it on the "interwebs".
I tried searching but the most recent info on Sudafed was 10 months ago on GAW. I know it was more recent as I told my wife, who also are suffering from migraines, about what OP said on Sudafed. She has it under control with Magnesium Glycinate and Feverfew but sometimes there are days when both don't help, despite her taking 4 or 5 Feverfew capsules (normally 3 capsules a day).
I'm trying to find what the specific name of Sudafed if it's a particular one that has whatever in it that's different from any other Sudafed. It was something like Sudafed NR or something?
Anyone know the post I'm talking about or at least can OP of that post reach out to me on here? Thanks!
Sudafed is pseudoephedrine where as Sudafed PE is phenylephrine
Yes I remember Sudafed PE!
Thanks u/bubble_bursts !
No worries, btw, these are not good medicines. You should also try some natural medicine. I know migraine is one of those really hard conditions to treat, but hopefully you will find a good naturopath who can solve it without resorting to drugs.
Yeah I am well aware of that but unfortunately my wife and I both are deaf and we live off on disability benefits with medicare coverage. Medicare, AFAIK, don't cover naturopathy.
So if we were to see one, we would be paying out of our pockets. I'm able to get it under control with feverfew and magnesium like I mentioned above, but there are days when migraine is too strong, especially around the time of the month for my wife. :(
