suzie290304 · 19th February, 2012

Oohh I know how you feel, Iv had a cold and sinus bug for over a week now and a tickilie cough. My poor stomach hurts with coughing and sneezing also a massive cold sore on and in my nose

Iv had no sleep all week. Just been taking paracetomol which hasn't touched me. Would be great to see if we could take other things (6 weeks post op), hope you feel better soon x

fatnomoreclo · 19th February, 2012

Poor you, I called my gp Friday they didn't have a clue that gives me confidence not! I'll just stick to paracetamol & hot apple & blackcurrant & hope it goes away soon!
Hope you feel better soon xx

Thank you big & bouncy xx

Raynebubble · 19th February, 2012

paracetomol is all we can have without something from the doctor... plenty of warm drinks and wrap up... sweat it out... hope your better soon xxx

fatnomoreclo · 19th February, 2012

Thank you Rayne x x

Lizzo · 20th February, 2012

Ooops! I had a cold about 3 weeks ago (I'm now 13 weeks post-R-n-Y), and took paracetemol and ibuprofen. Should I not have taken the ibuprofen then?

The cold really messed with my stomach, and I'm only now beginning to get back to some sort of normality.

Hope yours improves soon.

Hi ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers so we are told not to take them post op x

OOnion · 20th February, 2012

Oonions top tips for a cold...

One antihistamine a day.
Steam inhalations with tiny bit of vick/olbas oil 4 times a day.
Paracetamol 1g 4 times a day.
Honey and lemon hot drink 4 times a day.
Lots of rest and fluids.
Nothing makes it go away, but this will make you feel the best you can while you have the blighter!

Raynebubble · 20th February, 2012

Defo stay away from ibroprofen hun..that defo would of made your pouch poorly xx

anna2131 · 20th February, 2012

you can always ring your team hun they can advise best but to be honest with a cold other than paracetmol and resting it needs to works its own way out as meds wont work unless infection sets in xx

Lizzo · 20th February, 2012

Oops! Thanks for the heads-up on ibuprofen. I guess I must have been told that, but there was so much information thrown at me, I must have forgotten!

Thank goodness for you guys!

fatnomoreclo · 20th February, 2012

Thank you all have been resting all day trying to sweat it out will do all what you said & hopefully it will help! Xxx

angiemason · 22nd February, 2012

i'm full of rotten cold too

had paractemol and hot nas orange and barley still feel like poo though x hope everyone feels better soon

penelope1008 · 22nd February, 2012

If you've been given something like omeprazole to protect you pouch lining post-op you should be fine with paracetamol & ibruprofen as this was given to me as I take both for relief from osteoarthritis & fibromyalgia pain.
