Have you tried these?Originally posted by alexkusu:Actually I take i take ibuprofen for headaches..under the name Nurofen since i find panadeine n aspirin quite weak.
Avoid stressful situations, and learn to recognise your own signs of stress.
Frowning, clenching your hands, tightening your jaw, grinding your teeth and hunching your shoulders can all be signs that you are feeling under pressure. These are all due to signs of muscle tension. It is best to relax when you know these signs are coming. I've mentioned about the breathing method earlier on.
You may also consider a warm bath or go for a gentle massage. If at work, try taking a break or going for a walk. If you lead a stressful life, try to make time for regular relaxation breaks, such as yoga or swimming. This is to prevent the build-up of tension.
Time management techniques and careful planning can also help you to avoid stressful situations. Don't be so tied up with your schedules of your daily routine life and you will find your tension headache relieved much faster...
These have been explained earlier on... -
Paracetamol is the active component of panadol... Panadol is the simplemost and basicmost pain reliever, that is why your friend stated that statement... There is not to say no truth in it, but it has been a norm even to doctors to prescribe panadol as the first line treatment for pain.Originally posted by alexkusu:Btw how..paracetamol n panadol is same thing? how bout panadeine?

Panadeine is a combination of paracetamol / panadol with codeine (the cough syrup content which was banned a while ago)...
Both these contents are powerful pain relievers and it has been proven that it can provide fast effective relief from strong pain.
Paracetamol acts on the site of the pain while Codeine acts on the pain sensors in the brain, hence it has dual action (double action relief)...
Most of its uses is for people with migraine, chronic athritis, neuralgia, muscle pain or toothache... -

Codeine, Heroin, Morphine, Buprenorphine, Methadone, Meperidine and Pentazocine are all considered under one group known as Opiates.Originally posted by starblue: isnt codeine one of the most commonly abused drugs of all time, along side heroin and morphine?? they put that in cough syrups??!!

They are neuro-depressants, hence when people gets high after taking them or abusing them, they cannot feel pain because their pain receptors and pathways in the brain is blocked.
Of most, they are the most useful painkillers and codeine is the most effective cough suppressants. Unfortunately for abusers, codeine has been long banned in Malaysia. Heroin is still illegaly used but morphine is reserved for terminal care who are in severe pain in the hospital...
ATP, NADPH and HMP was once a stepping stone for me... biochemistry is never easy... hahaha... -
Last time when I worked in a clinic, we had a black list of customers. Those customers always come back and ask for cough syrup one. Think they are addicted

Heritable or not, it is still vague... but so far there are small trials proving that it does occur...Originally posted by starblue:a question: how do you relieve menstrual cramps are they heritable? (as in if your mum suffered from bad symptoms, chances are the daughter will too?)
Relieving menstrual cramps by taking the Pink Colored Panadol Tablets can be one of the best methods...
Ibuprofen and naproxen are also commonly used to relieve menstrual cramps. Using a heating pad or hot water bottle may also be effective over the site of pain.
You may also try walking or exercising regularly (pelvic rocking exercise - which strengthens the abdominal and back muscles) and follow a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, but low in salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.
Other proven methods include relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga. I would rather think of these as distraction methods, they distract you from the pain by focusing your concentration eslewhere... -
Dependent would be a better wordOriginally posted by rainee:Last time when I worked in a clinic, we had a black list of customers. Those customers always come back and ask for cough syrup one. Think they are addicted
It is a taboo to use addict hahaha... makes the dependent users feel very stigmatized... -

In case you ask what is pelvic rocking exercise, it is done most commonly during antenatal classes...
Assume the crawling position
Straighten your hands and back
Your hands, knees and the floor should form a square shape
Now slowly tilt your pelvis forwards (with your back relaxed) and maintain that position for a few seconds
Now move back to your original position
Repeat the cycle in a slow manner and at a comfortable pace
This exercise should only be done using the muscles of the lower part of your body or else it isn't being done properly (do not use your hands to thrust your pelvis forwards)...
Recommended number of cycles is from 15-25 per day... -

There are many more methods, but these are suggestions from women who have tried it before and hence advising other people that it is beneficial... Scientists then take into claims and start a massive research to find out why, most of which contains information which are more chemically and organically based. I am unsure of this, maybe someone can provide an explanation to this...Originally posted by alexkusu:drinking soyabean helps relieves pain during periods.
