So I was just watching tv and they had a special about how people are dieing from taking too much tylenol. I don't know about you but I do take more than is recommended cause lets face it we hurt alot and after taking anything for awhile it doesn't work as well. So apparently if you take over 600 mg a day it can cause severe liver damage and lead to liver failure.
They had a story on a girl in her 20's like me who had to have a liver transplant from the damage and still died. Pretty scary. I take tylenol to hold me over until I can take more of my pain relievers or muscle relaxers. Well I just wanted to share. I'd hate for any of us to have liver failure...we go through enough already! They said people are protesting the FDA to make any dosage over 500mg a prescription. Crazy stuff. Posted on 06/30/09, 08:06 pm |

Yes this has been a known thing forever. The key is educating yourself. NOT taking more than recommended and boosting the liver and kidneys with NATURAL remedies and foods. I have one kidney. (donated the other to my father) So, I drink raw cranberry juice to boost it among other things. I dont smoke ANYTHING , drink alcohol once a month or less and lessened stress for us by not having kids. Do the best you can. I cant imagine there are people so dumb out there that actually take anything OTC thinking it is safe!? People need to use their brains more.

A brain is a terrible thing to waste :)
Yes - education is the key and people need to take responsibility for their own health and be good consumers. It boggles the mind that so many people spend more time preparing to buy a washing machine than they do choosing a doctor or agreeing to a treatment. DeeDee, right on sister!
