Lol. I meant I hope you don’t get long Covid. You already said you had Covid. I’m sorry you have long Covid.

You still have body aches from Covid? How long have you had Covid?

Yeah, I’ve taken it. Migraines, I think.

ETA: I just saw the comment about tylenol, and now I know exactly what it is!!! Butalbital-Acetaminophen- Caffeine. I have a giant bottle. It’s often a first-line treatment for migraines in the ER, combined with the anti-nausea med, Reglan. It can cause rebound headaches, and many, many migraine meds can cause heart problems, so I’ve been told not to take it more than necessary and never to take more than two in a 24 hour period, and only two days out of a week. I take it less than that. You have to be careful not to mix with other meds that may contain Tylenol/acetaminophen, like Midol or cold meds.

Further edit- Don’t let my comment about the precautions for migraine meds and rebound headaches worry you, though. You won’t be on it for years, I’d bet, so it’s probably treated differently. Sorry if I said anything worrying.
