Significant information about acetaminophen

Don’t use a lot of acetaminophen than is recommended. An overdose could cause serious harm. The maximum amount of acetaminophen for adults is one gram (1000 mg) per dose and four grams (4000 mg) per day. Taking more acetaminophen may cause damage to your liver. If you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day, talk to your doctor before taking this medicine and never use more than two grams (2000 mg) per day.

Question by Diggle+3: What do you do if your ob/gyn doc dismisses you as a patient at 34 weeks pregnant?
Making a long story short, I’m type 1 diabetic and basically a freaking guinea pig to this doctor. I keep refusing things to be done to me, that are totally unnecessary (keep in mind, I have already been pregnant once before as a diabetic and my son came out perfectly healthy with no complications whatsoever and this is my second son and he’s doing excellent as well) and these tests they want to do this time around were NOT done with my first son and we are both perfectly fine.
Anyways, they want to do this new test on me – the “OCT” – it’s long name is the “Oxytocin Control Test” – where, starting at 34 weeks, every Friday I have to go into the labor & delivery ward at the hospital, be hooked up to an IV and given small amounts of pitocin to basically start labor, as they monitor my son’s heart rate and see if he is “under stress”…well of course he will be, with pitocin given to me as early as 34 weeks!! And they said a big risk of this proceedure is the possibility of going into labor prematuraly – where, right now, I am of no risk of a premature labor. Nor has my son exhibited any signs of distress this pregnancy AT ALL.
So, me and friend did some research and I am flat out refusing this terrible test. Risk factors include and are not limited to: premature labor, fetal distress, falso positive leading to an unneeded c-section, stillborth and uterine rupture.
There’s no way in hell I would EVER do something like that. However, I’m pretty positive they will dismiss me as a patient if I refuse something this big they want me to do. Soooo, my question is, what exactly happens if you are dismissed by a doctor at 34 weeks pregnant?
**I hope you see this bubblebobble – but what did they tell you about going into labor naturally as a type 1 diabetic? Did you ever hear anything of a risk about a stillbirth? How are your sugars doing? It’s REALLY REALLY nice to meet a type 1, exaclty the same part of pregnancy I am and hear of their experiences. Email me please!

Question by strokesfanatic: At what point is it considered “major depression”? Do I need medication or something, or will this subside?
Since thanksgiving I’ve felt very empty, hollow, and joyless, and I’ve been experiencing most of the telltale signs of depression, change in appetite, abnormal sleep patterns, excessive crying, discouragement, loss of joy in activities that once brought joy, etc.
It all stems from a late november conversation, I finally told this girl who is a really close friend of mine that I didn’t want to make our friendship awkward but I was in love with her. Well she said she loved me too-like a brother…unfortunately it has been awkward-we’re barely speaking. We were very close so that hurt, but I expected to get over it after a little intense grieving that she didn’t share my feelings. I have confided what happened to close friends.
I have forced myself to get back out their socially. I have put my mind into, work;music;anything, but it always makes me somber. Is this a normal amount of time to be saddened? When will it get better? Or do I need some medical help?

Answer by iseaulater2
Now days they have pain management centers. In addition look at your diet. I know I thought the same. Some back pain may be if you are overweight. I also use Absorbine Jr. it gives me some relief. Use the sinus tea pot for the sinus.
