AWESOME STUFF. Currently I use as a drug of choice in almost every sickness (head, cold, flu, etc.). Seems that Tylenol has a positive effect on immunity system. It gives it strength to fight the bugs. Oher drugs don't seem to have as much effect as tylenol does. I am not sure if it is some kind of ingredient combination that works well with my body or if it just a good and effective drug. Either way it tremendously help me when I am sick.

I cry a whole lot because I love my husband and he wants to have sex (as most men) but I basically have to force myself to do it. Complete loss of sex drive. Complete loss of interest in everything. None of my hobbies make me happy and I don't even care to see my friends; I just want to s... View full comment
