Acetaminophen vs NSAIDS - [View all]
I've been told to stay away from the NSAIDS such as ibuprofen due to the hazard of kidney damage. (My labs already show the first, faint signs of damage - most likely an autoimmune issue). I was afraid of taking acetaminophen out of fear of liver damage, but if what I've read is correct, I can use the maximum OTC dose routinely without any harm. I know that acetaminophen won't do anything for the inflammation, but has anyone else tried it for arthritis flares?
