[at-l] Vitamin I

[Phil.Heffington@oc.edu (Phil Heffington)]

My "normal" use of Ibuprofen on the trail is to take it two or three times =
a day (3- 200 mg tabs) for the first 3-4 days of the hike, and at night bef=
ore sleeping for about the first week.  After that I take it when I feel ex=
tra weary muscles, or have cramping feet, legs, etc. at night.

My wife's trail name was "Vitamin I" the year she went with me, because she=
 had checked with her Dr. and found that she could take up to 12 tablets pe=
r day for at least a couple of weeks without any trouble.  Don't overdo it,=
 but Ibuprofen is not a dangerous drug, and you shouldn't worry about using=
 it preventively for a few days, at least.
