So, My husband has been super healthy his whole life.. (53) 2 years ago he lost his appetite and about 20 pds in a month.. I forced him to go the dr.. and he had kidney failure... The specialist said it was brought on by advil!!! He had the flu a month earlier and had a taken advil... He had taken it exactly as the label said for 2 days.. That was all it took.... BTW.. he has no history of any kind... The dr. said " The worst time to take advil is when you are sick"
So I am sticking with tylenol.. Posted on 11/07/09, 03:11 pm |

I know it is weird... I'm just sharing my real life experience... I do not want to scare anyone..... He has gotten back 15 percent renal function.... He had hip replacement and the could not give him any thing but tylenol...

I am so sorry to hear that Palyn. But I have heard many horror stories about Advil. Really sad too because My daughter amd her friends loved it for cramp time and I begged them not to use it...I was warned about Tylenol when I was using it instead of pain meds also. I don't know..seems like anything inexcess hurts us anymore?

Experience - when I had eye surgery years ago I was only given tylenol. It did nothing and a friend of mine said to take 4 at a time every 2 hours. I did that for 2 days. It took the edge off the pain and after 2 days I stopped with no ill effects. The idea is as in anything, moderation whether it be sugar, over-the-counter meds, etc. Overdoing anything is bound to have some effect. BUT tylenol is one of the better meds out there.

I have taken Nurofen (which is Ibuprofen in this country) but found it did nothing for me at all - might as well take a peppermint - the same with panadeine (tylenol).
Hope that your husband recovered palyn215.

There is a very good chance that the gymnast - and maybe your husband? - was not eating properly at the time. She would have been watching weight etc and if he was sick - well I know there are times when I am sick that I do not want to eat either........ not the time to take some of these meds I guess.

Hath..
That was exactly what the nephrolgist told.. he said the worst time to take advil is when you are sick.... I know I would never guess that either..
