Tylenol has never worked for me, and now I consciously avoid it because it is so easy to have an overdose and damage the liver. They put it in everything OTC and what used to be a harmless practice to get through a bout of flu can now endanger your life.

I was in despair over my painfully arthritic hands which would make me up in the middle of the night. And I was already eating low carb!

Gluten free and MSM have done absolute wonders. And if I need painkillers, I take white willow and devil's claw; together they need a lower dose.

Pharma tweaks the molecules to get them patented, so often the natural alternative (white willow was the first aspirin) will dodge the side effects.

I am fortunate I found things that worked; and they were outnumbered by what I tried that didn't work.
