I have always had a lot of joint pain and headaches. I take Tylenol to get rid of them. When I was younger, I used to break bones a lot and taking Tylenol helped once they had healed and I just had aches.

Every now and then I when I eat something with high sugar content I experience a slight dizziness or imbalance.
