I have an allergy to NSAIDs so the only thing I can take is tylenol. Does anybody else have this problem too.

Many community members connected over the shared challenge of not being able to take NSAIDs, with several describing serious stomach issues including bleeding episodes that led to procedures like colonoscopies and endoscopies. A recurring theme was turning to Tylenol, especially the 8-hour arthritis formula, as the safest option, with members taking it morning and night to manage joint pain and migraines. While many agreed it is not a perfect solution, the community found comfort in knowing others face the same limitations and are making it work.

That's the only med I can take. The others mess with my stomach and other organs.

That’s exactly what I take. Not the best, but it’s all I go.

I don't have this but my new RA dr recommended Tylenol 8hr arthritis. It has really helped with joint pain and migraines. Hope this helps

I can’t take any. I have two bleed episodes. I am now scheduled for a colonoscopy and a endoscopy. Trying to find out where the bleeding comes from.

I can't take NSAIDS either. After years of trying different RA meds, Tylenol was the only one that didn't mess with my stomach. So I take them before I go to bed at night and in the a.m. when I awake. It's not the best solution, but it's the best for me right now.
