"Taking Advil 800 mg three times a day, and it’s passable. For me, it’s about staying ahead of the pain."

"Advil works for me. I take 3-4 200 mg capsules about every 6 hours. Relief takes about 30 minutes. I do worry about taking so much, as I know it’ll mess up your stomach, so I try not to take it unless I REALLY need it."
