I can't take aspirin B/C of low platelets so was using Tylenol, now I get an e-mail that it has Propylparaben in it and it's dangerous. Have anyone heard of that? Fay Hi Fay, What kind of arthritis do you have? There are a number of meds available, depending on the type of arthritis and the level of your pain. The only thing I've heard of regarding Tylenol is liver problems from taking too much. Charlene > Hi Fay, > What kind of arthritis do you have? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > taking too much. > Charlene Yep, I have to watch that with the liver (and I have VERY low platelet counts). Celebrex doesn't have the same anti-platelet effects that COX-1 inhibitors do, so I can take that. Tylenol (panadol in other countries) has been shown to cause high blood pressure over time (the study participants were women only, but it seems likely to be repeated in men).

Given your age, you're at risk for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and there are new and good treatments available. As with many medical matters, it's best to treat earlier than later. I'd love to have a platetlet count of 50k! Cheers, Ari Signaturespammage trappage: remove the underscores to reply I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like.

Not anxious to take any med. with side effects. I only have a pain in one of my ankles, Left hand thumb and in back of my left knee. not a pain that bothers me enough to take med.not all the time just once in a while. My next appointment is in 3 mo. I am 90 so I can't complain. Fay |
