I'm participating in
WEGO Health's Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge (HAWMC) in April.
Today's challenge is to write a health question and answer it. I've decided to share a question that I'd be thrilled to never be asked again:
Why don't you just take a few Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for your migraine, and continue on with your day?
This question irritates me to my very core. I just want to answer by saying,
"Wow! That's a wonderful idea! I can't believe I never thought to try Tylenol. I'll definitely have to give that a try (for my chronic debilitating migraines)."
OR
"Because taking Tylenol would be just as effective as eating Tic Tac's. I can't even 'continue on with my day' after I take my prescription medication... you really think that Tylenol is going to do the trick?!"
Instead, though, I respond by simply (and briefly) saying that Tylenol doesn't help my migraines.
Amen!!!! If one more person asks me if I've tried Excedrin, they might just get clocked. And I'm SO not a violent person, but even I have my breaking point, you know?
