For Ankylosing Spondylitis "I have AS and have been in a flare-up for about a week now. Hurting from my pelvis to my feet, it was causing extreme difficulty with walking. Haven’t wanted people to notice the few times I’ve had to get out of the house, so I would walk decently with excruciating pain. My feet have been hurting everywhere, with painful throbbing and stabbing pain with every step. I have been feeling “shocks” in my left hip area with my steps, almost sending me to the floor at times. Last night, after I got in bed, the throbbing pain was keeping me awake, so I got up and took two Aleve gel tabs. Within 30 minutes, while lying in bed, I noticed the throbbing had stopped. Upon awakening and standing, I was much better. I could not believe the difference in my gait, with my pain level dropping significantly today. I feel so much better now! Thank goodness."

For Headache "Took 3 Aleve liquid gels within 2 hours, and it progressively made my headache worse, and I had an event to go to later that evening, too. Not very reliable. Advil works more effectively, even if I have to take 3+."
