Acetaminophen "The Tylenol bottles are way too hard to open for someone with arthritis in the hands. It's bad enough that you need to turn the cap to line up the arrows, but then you need to pry up the cap with only the small arrow to push on - there should be an easier way to open the cap. Tylenol could even include a non-safety cap on the box. Pharmacies provide non-safety caps, and Tylenol could should also. Until they figure it out, I will not purchase another Tylenol package!"

"After doing strenuous activity, I oftentimes get sore muscles. I use ibuprofen sometimes and other times acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is pretty effective at taking the edge off of the pain, gets me through the worst of it."

Acetaminophen "It's for fever and muscle pain. It's the best if you have muscle pain after training or the next day. 30 minutes after taking the pill, you will be just fine."

Acetaminophen "It helps slightly, but with Ehlers-Danlos and recurrent dislocations/subluxations, it only helps a little, if at all. It might help much more with minor conditions."

Acetaminophen "Paracetamol. The only thing that works for me without any side effects, takes about 20 minutes to kick in, fantastic for muscle pain and anxiety attacks and insomnia. I take two 500 mg tablets every 4 hours (four times a day), for two days, then I'm okay."
