the first time I was given them was about 10 years ago when the boy was born, he was c/s so I needed pain killers... I was like you then. I took one then switched to tylenol... made me sleep and feel crappy. Then the daily pain began a few years ago and I take enough they don't bother me now
Differences in tolerance to medications are fascinating to me, no matter how many lectures I listen to about it.
