Hey, nurse here…
Nancy Mace went on TV and told pregnant people not to take Tylenol and to take ibuprofen instead.
And, I cannot stress enough, HOW STUPID THAT IS. Ibuprofen is PROVEN to cause fetal complications. Has been for years. TYLENOL HAS NOT. EVER.
DO NOT TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM THESE IDIOTS. LISTEN. TO. YOUR. DOCTOR.

1. If you take medical advice from Nancy Mace

You put yourself in line for a Darwin Award. That's almost a Nobel!

[MurrayDelph]

8. To qualify for a a Darwin Award

one has to die flamboyantly stupidly without issue.

Taking ibuprofen while pregnant may get you there.

[IronLionZion]

2. I strongly recommend people listen to their doctors not politicians

These idiots are dangerous. It would be their own supporters who believe this BS.

[Coldwater]

3. Tylenol does have its benefits

[still-prayin4rain]

6. Hahaha

[mainer]

4. OMG the stupid replies to her post!

People are too ignorant to realize that Tylenol is not aspirin and that acetaminophen is the same thing as Tylenol.

I’m a board-certified internist and I’ve given up trying to give medical advice to MAGA. What’s the point? You try to help them and all they do is insult you. Let them drink bleach.

[popsdenver]

12. AND

shove light sticks up their rear ends..............Someone must make a model of dildo with a light on the tip.............


I swear, if each atom of a MAGA's brain was a ton of metal, it would roll around like a BB in a dump truck.........

[SheltieLover]

5. Kick

[keep_left]

7. WTF is the deal with MAGA chuds and Tylenol?! Is this another...

...one of their inscrutable alt-right conspiracy theories? I can't keep up--one minute they're foaming at the mouth about Pizzagate, and the next they're telling me (against my own medical advisers!) to clog my arteries with beef tallow and coconut oil because "seed oils are evil!!!!11!!!1!!!". Somehow I missed the boat on how Tylenol became the latest bête noire.

[popsdenver]

18. The maker of tylenol

could have avoided Trump going after them, if they had just given a billion dollars to Trump's "Private" and "Personal" PAC

I am waiting to see if the Corporation that Manufactures Tylenol sues the living shit out of him..........The Corporations went all in on getting him elected, and created a Frankenstein's Monster, and now are learning he is out of control and turning on them.......

[muriel_volestrangler]

9. She's out-idioted Trump, which takes some doing

At least Trump said ibuprofen is not an alternative during pregnancy.

[Justice Brandeis]

10. She is obviously full of shit and should never be listened to about medicine or science

Pregnant women should follow the advice of their doctor.

[3catwoman3]

14. "...should never be listened to about medicine or science."

Or about much of anything, most likely.

[llmart]

20. A favorite one-liner from that old hospital series "ER"...

I believe it was from one of the EMT's involved in an incident. He said, "Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed."

[3catwoman3]

29. I just said in another thread that after 45 years in pediatrics, I am of the opinion...

...that parenthood should require a license after passing a basic class in child growth, development and psychology and that the mere ability to juxtapose genitalia is not a sufficient qualification.

[popsdenver]

[popsdenver]

16. I think what we are seeing

with all these Republican Women surrounding Trump, is a situation where the massive globs of Silicone they have had installed in their chests, are slowly leaking and ending up in their brains...............that, and all the botox they are using on their faces, is slowly migrating to their brains also........

[TheRickles]

11. How long before these Tylenol-recommending docs get reported to the appropriate authorities?

[Swede]

13. Or, in this regime, the inappropriate authorities.

[Ping Tung]

15. Follow the head medical expert and drink some bleach instead of messing with dangerous vaccines and pills.

[Warpy]

17. Not a nurse midwife or L&D nurse but even I know that's horrendous advice

This is stupidity turned murderous.

[Hekate]

31. We saw that murderous stupidity in abundance during the first wave of the pandemic

[twodogsbarking]

19. We keep trying to fix stupid. I think believing it can be fixed is, well, stupid.

[Mtnmama]

21. This is the epitome of stupid, and irresponsible!

But, what can you expect from those who deny climate change, that "people kill people, not guns", and support trump? Lord, have mercy!!!

[Wonder Why]

22. That will reduce the number of future MAGAts.

And increase the abortion rate of the existing ones.

[LittleGirl]

23. I found ibuprofen to give me

heart palps and anxiety that Tylenol never did to me. Unfortunately, this was after telling my shoulder surgeon that I can't take opioids. He had me on high doses of ibuprofen and I didn't sleep at all until I got out of the hospital and got home. I took Tylenol until I recovered.

[FakeNoose]

24. I never take Tylenol, I've been taking aspirin my whole life

Regular, plain old, no-brand aspirin works fine for me.

There's no danger in aspirin, however I am careful to never take it on an empty stomach. There are some things that aspirin won't help with, for example a sinus headache won't go away with aspirin. (But Tylenol doesn't help with that either.)

[Wiz Imp]

32. There's plenty of danger with aspirin

Aspirin can pose serious dangers, including an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, and hemorrhagic stroke. The risk of these complications varies based on dosage, other medications, and individual health factors. Aspirin is especially dangerous for children and teenagers due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.

Aspirin can irritate the stomach lining and cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach or intestines. This risk increases with higher doses, long-term use, and older age. The risk of internal bleeding is heightened when aspirin is combined with alcohol or other blood-thinning medications.

While aspirin is used to prevent clot-related strokes, its blood-thinning effect increases the risk of a hemorrhagic stroke, which is caused by bleeding in the brain.

Long-term or heavy aspirin use can affect kidney function and potentially lead to kidney failure.

Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) is another reported side effect.

[Gimpyknee]

25. I suppose that's one way to reduce future Republican voters.

[Klarkashton]

33. THANK YOU

I mean, seriously, just the idea that a NON-DOCTOR is giving MEDICAL ADVICE - WTF IS GOING ON HERE, who DOES that besides these Trump humping FREAKS

[spanone]

27. Hey Mace

Shut your fucking Face.

[Girard442]

28. Old news, but 1/4 million excess deaths (est.) b/c MAGAts didn't get vaxxed...

...or take other precautions,

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. In 2010, I was in the hospital, recovering from emergency heart surgery to replace two valves eaten alive by StaphA.

There were a number of pre-discharge little seminars we were highly urged to take, and one was a discussion about pain management. The pharmacist leading this particular meeting told us to go home, grab our bottle of ibuprofen and throw it in the garbage. Amazingly - or not - acet. was the preferred course.

As you might imagine, I'm still on the fence; weighing the opinions of highly-educated healers against that of a RW loon with a degree in journalism.

34. Search on CHAT GPT.... Results....

Generally, pregnant women should avoid taking ibuprofen, especially in the later stages of pregnancy. Here's why:

First trimester: Some studies suggest a possible link between ibuprofen use and miscarriage or birth defects, though the evidence isn't conclusive.

Second trimester: Occasional use may be less risky, but it should only be taken if a doctor specifically recommends it.



Third trimester: Ibuprofen can cause serious complications, such as premature closure of a fetal heart vessel (the ductus arteriosus), reduced amniotic fluid, and kidney problems in the baby.

Safer alternative: Acetaminophen (Tylenol / paracetamol) is generally considered safer for pain relief during pregnancy, but even that should be used in the lowest effective dose for the
