I have been mad at the Advil people for a long time. Just a "feeling" mind you - that something was wrong with them. I almost hate to be vindicated but check out this link
Advil makes it worse - not better

I am currently being tested for temporal arteritis, and cranial arterites. They are very difficult to identify but it seems my condition has moved in this direction.
Curse on you Advil. And those commercials! b

sorry to step out of character and sound hopeful, but after all, things have changed down here...and my quick educational search of the web shows that fMRI and ultra sound do a pretty good non-invasive job of diagnosis of temporal arteritis, aka cranial arteritis, aka giant cell arteritis. And... that the treatment is oral steroids...prednisone. Tell 'em Dr. Robert said so. Hum a Beatles tune. Pretty soon you'll be pumping iron and well, well, well, you're feeling fine

if I'm wrong, please accept my apologies and feel free to give me an unsterilized icepick lobotomy for being so rude.
