It's a stomach irritant. You don't need ulcers on top of everything else. Try some Aleve and double the dose of the over-the-counter stuff. That's what I do when a couple old injuries flare up and they just go running when the Aleve hits the blood stream. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jen Hessenthaler" To: "Creed Discuss Temporary Replacement" Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 2:02 PM Subject: [ Creed Discuss ] NCR my drama > So we need some conversation?
