I'm with slouching mom. Even though I'm more inclined to take the holisitic approach on things, if they're that uncomfortable, one dose of ibuprofen usually does the trick. Good luck.
Ditto the above – if the teething tablets don't do it, I'd try the ibuprofen too. Every sleepless day adds up…here's hoping you get a chance to catch up on some sleep.
My doctor told me that you can use ibuprofen AND Tylenol at the same time!! Ibuprofen lasts longer (6-8 hours) and Tylenol provides that extra pain relieving punch (every 4-6 hours). You wouldn't want to do it long-term, but if she is having a bad night…
i was so tired when I was pregnant that I napped almost constantly. I don't know how people do it with other children. Particularly children who are up every 25 minutes.
Grr, we are going through some molars too. I think Fly got two teeth in this past week. Nothing makes him happy. I keep him hopped up on Hyland's during the day and give him Motrin at night before bed. And occasionally, he bites me….
Hyland's teething tablets? Hyland's gum gel? Frozen washcloth? Bourbon? (for whoever?)
You need your sleep!
Ibuprofen?

Catch an afternoon nap? Am I in fantasyland?

Ugh, I don't have any advice. How about some empathy? I have tons of empathy for you.
