I'm finally FINALLY close to getting my CPAP/APAP machine to start treating my sleep apnea 🙌
Now I need to start the process of finding a mask that works well for me and honestly it feels a little daunting 🥴

Careful with the APAP -- don't go over 3g in 24h (so no more than 9 pills in any 24h period). If it's not managing the pain enough, call your doctor and ask for oxycodone without the acetaminophen in it (there's one hydrocodone-only formulation but it's not widely available)

I can not tell you how many times I have tried to explain to patients that Tylenol, APAP and acetaminophen are the same. Tylenol is just a BRAND. Drives me nutty sometimes because they know everything.

blogs geared toward people in boarding classes 1 through 3: here’s how you can get away with taking 4 personal items on board!
me, in boarding class 6: pls I need to take my APAP with me, it’s medical equipment and takes up less space than most laptop bags

Before you lefties go on a Tylenol popping spree remember, Acetaminophen, or N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP), causes SEVERE LIVER DAMAGE and acute liver FAILURE when overdosed.

Or they use ibuprofen instead of APAP and risk other birth defects.

I don't know whether this has been discussed by anyone yet, but the meta-analysis that claims to find a relationship between acetaminophen and autism: ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
Here's how it reported the results for the largest study. This study carries massive weight...

Apparently it's just Paracetamol/APAP, for those wondering

you love how APAP is good when politicians use it to “deter abuse” by people with opioid dependency (IE: liver failure as deterrence) but bad when it might alleviate the pain of pregnancy and give ghouls another angle to both police reproduction and liquidate Lebensunwertes Leben

NTM descriptions and diagnoses of autism precede the invention and mass use of APAP (Paracetamol/Acetaminophen/Tylenol) by centuries:
Autism (ASD, ASC) is the result of a genetic predisposition for specific neurodivergent conditions & traits.
Neurodivergency is inherited.
Specific to Europe/US:
1700s: First complaint of individual with autistic traits
1908: "Autism" coined
1943: First US diagnoses
1955: Tylenol invented

this clinician, who was a trained medical researcher & more importantly read 19th century academic german fluently, realized that the basis for rejecting APAP out of hand was flimsy, did trials on better models, and found the risks we now understand APAP to have

As a post script, I also want to say that I find the “medically necessary” language around APAP use ridiculous and insulting. Do they think pregnant women are taking acetaminophen for fun? Or mistaking the pills for candy?

incidentally, APAP has several extremely unusual effects for any medication on account of it acts similar to a SSRI or SNRI but for endocannabinoids. people dosed with tylenol experience reduced symptoms of religious awe. anecdotally i tend to take it as a rescue for religious psychosis

This is a really great example of how to terrify people with the selective presentation of information and omit critical context. 🧵
First: The dose makes the poison. Acetaminophen (APAP) can indeed be a cause of liver failure at higher doses. However, about half of these overdoses are intentional.

2/ Given how common APAP use is, teasing out the effect of APAP vs other known risk factors is very challenging.
2nd, there is no biologically plausible mechanism by which occasional APAP use causes ASD/ADHD. APAP is certainly very toxic at high levels or with chronic use, but a couple of pills?

If I stream today maybe I'll do something cozy like Critter Cove. I slept like complete crap so that's a fairly big "if" predicated on how much better ibuprofen, apap, and caffeine help. For now though, iced tea @Strangie got me <3

Okay, so NSAIDs seem to be worse than APAP. So what other pharmacological tools do we have to treat pain in pregnancy? That’s basically it as far as over the counter stuff. There are a handful of other options but generally they are only effective for specific types of pain e.g., muscle relaxants…

On 50%, “while most babies and children are relatively unharmed by APAP exposure, some are at risk due to the presence of oxidative stress [2,3]. Evidence points conclusively to the induction of autism spectrum disorder with possible connections to both developmental delay and attention deficits.”

If you know me you know the beef I have with acetaminophen.
I *still* hope that Kenvue unleashes their VERY well-funded fury onto RFK and the administration. (Esp because RFK keeps saying “Tylenol”.)
(There is no convincing connection between APAP and autism, btw.)

Not where I was expecting him to go with this, TBH.
It would be grimly funny if _this_ is what ended up getting APAP (tylenol/acetominophan/paracetamol) scheduled as opposed to its outrageous hepatotoxicity.

Acetaminophen (aka APAP aka paracetamol) is rough on the liver, so you need to be careful with it. My gripe is that it gets added to SO MANY combo drugs (DayQuil, OTC migraine cocktails, etc) that it becomes super easy to overdose unwittingly.
It is, however, my choice for breaking fevers.
