Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 I priced it at Rite Aid it cost $1.80 a pill.So a month would be $54.. that is for the blue banded 100mg. If you take the gold banded 200mg. it will cost approx twice as much. Root Its not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 1999 Report Share Posted March 28, 1999 Some of you have written about Celebrex. I have been taking Celebrex for about one month. I was on Daypro for many years. I also had to take Prilosec to eliminate bleeding ulcers. I given up Celebrex because it created a lot of gas that lasted for hours. I was given Dicyclomine. It didn't work ! In fact, as far as the Celebrex is concerned my pains were no better than when I took Daypro. So another 2 wasted bottle of medicines.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 1999 Report Share Posted April 22, 1999 As my rheumatologist told me last week ( I wrote about this last week, but it is worth repeating), they are finding that gastro-intestinal bleeding is also caused by the platelets and there is a definite relationship that they are investigating between the stomach and platelets. rheumatic Celebrex >From: " Jolly " <denisej@...> > >>From Medical Correspondent Rhonda Rowland > >WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An advisory panel has recommended to the U.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2002 Report Share Posted July 9, 2002 --- Elly, I have been on Sulfazaldine with methotrexate and it work for awhile then quit, am still on methotrexate and is the only thing that works at all. The celebrex didn't work for me at all. My body seems to fight all the good stuff off. I am glad that they are working so well for you, it is nice to feel somewhat normal. in WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi , I have MS. I also have arthristis in my back, neck and hands, for which I have been taking Celebrex for several years. When I was diagnosed with MS, about three years ago, I was already taking Celebrex, and I have never experienced any pain relative to the MS. I assume this is because I have been medicated for pain all along. Heaven help me if they ever take Celebrex off the market, because there aren't any suitable substitutes for me (I can't take aspirin or aspirin-containing products)!! Good Luck!

He put me back on baclofen he said that med is the best for stiffness............ valerie Saberkat7@... wrote: Has anyone had any experience or success with Celebrex, as an anti-inflamitory drug for MS folk. - FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Marcy, I'd suggest doing a websearch for Celebrex. There's lots of information out there. . . Not all good - not all bad. Taken for a short time, it's probably fine. It's not a medicine I would want to take on a maintenance basis though. It's better to address the CAUSE of the problem, than to cover it up. I think it was Patty who started getting considerable pain relief after taking Organic coffee enemas. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Dr. Feng prescribed it for me for a week after surgery, and I did take it, but taking it long term is risky because it's been tied to heart attacks, I believe. Short term use is supposedly OK, but long term seems to be a problem. Sis > > I got Rx for Celebrex from Dr Feng and it really helped with my joint > pain and inflamation.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I never was in considerable pain, but used coffee enemas for detoxification. Kacey Long has mentioned that coffee enemas helped her greatly with pain relief. She was on a fair amount of pain relievers for it, so hopefully the coffee enemas helped her enough to get off of them. Hopefully she will write to confirm that! There's plenty of evidence available to support the suggestion that coffee enemas greatly assist in pain relief. Patty > > Marcy, > > I'd suggest doing a websearch for Celebrex.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've heard of those, but don't quote understand them. Is it an enema, as in rectal? Dare I even ask how one manages to get coffee/grounds there? Christene > > > > Marcy, > > > > I'd suggest doing a websearch for Celebrex. There's > > lots of information out there. . .

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi Christene, Coffee enema queen here! Yes, it is rectally taken. What you do is boil the coffee grounds in a quart of water on a stove top, then strain them out. The quart of water, (which you definitely allow to cool to a comfortable temperature), is placed into an enema bag and you let it remain within the sigmoid part of the colon for 15 minutes while lying on your right side. This form of therapy has been greatly studied and is understood to increase the liver's ability to detoxify the blood. In the 15 minutes that you are lying on your side, the blood will pass through the liver approximately 5-7 times. The caffeine in the coffee enema dilates the bile ducts, which allows a greater amount of glutathione to be released, which is probably the most effective anti-oxidant in our body. Toxic release is greatly increased. So much so that Dr. Max Gerson, who first used coffee enemas as a cancer therapy, was able to bring people dying of cancer back from that point of death and go on to live long productive lives. He wrote about his therapy in his books. This cure for cancer has been around for over half a century. Of course, that is the short version. You can get a great amount of info on the value of coffee enemas on the internet. We also have info in our archives on it, including more specific directions. I find them to be very easy to do, as does my husband who does one nearly every day. Patty > > > > > > Marcy, > > > > > > I'd suggest doing a websearch for Celebrex.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Maximum detoxification, liver support, pain relief to name the most well-known. Here's a snip from an article called " Detoxification and the Flagging Liver " : We need to support the liver in its task of detoxification and there are various ways to do this. You can take specific herbs, which promote the production and flow of bile by the liver (major route of detoxification of drugs and chemicals), but this may not be totally efficient as a good proportion of the toxic bile is reabsorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract. Or there's the coffee enema! Gerson's genius lay in the fact that he recognized the dangers of toxic release into the system and he found a way to deal with it. He was working against time with many of his terminally ill patients and it was vital that he secured maximum detoxification right from the beginning. Gerson found that if he matched the rate of elimination of toxicity from the tissues with its rate of removal to the outside then over a period of time total healing occurred. It was the coffee enema that made this possible. Gerson knew that the coffee enema dilated the bile ducts and caused a flushing of toxic bile from the liver. (Drinking coffee constricts the bile ducts). He also knew that this was the most effective method for detoxification. Since Gerson's time various active ingredients in coffee have been identified and most interestingly, the palmitates present in coffee increase the binding of toxic elements by the bile 7-fold and this enzyme-enhancing ability in the liver and small intestine does not allow reabsorption of the toxic bile. Most cholerectic herbs do not ensure this complete removal of toxins but only an increase in bile flow. In order to assist detoxification I often recommend the coffee enema. They guard against a toxic build-up that can make you feel so dreadful and in this way help the body to heal. It is important to remember that the coffee enemas go hand-in-hand with the juices: no enemas - no juices and no juices - no enemas. The juices will remove toxicity from the tissues and the coffee enema ensures its removal to the outside. If used without the juices they will ultimately have a depleting effect on nutrients. The rule of thumb is - 3 juices (3 x 250mls) per coffee enema. If you increase the juices then you can safely increase the enemas.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 It's amazing it's still on the market because it is basically the same drug as Vioxx. There has been talk of removing it from the market as well. I took Vioxx before I had knee surgery 3 1/2 years ago it worked well and I'm still alive.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi Eva, I have taken Celebrex (400mg twice a day) for years, with no problems with Gleevec. I also have atrial fibrillation and have had no reactions with the heart meds I take either. I try to take it with food and usually take it with my Gleevec. You should be careful taking it with any other over the counter inflammatory drugs. Be sure to let your pharmacist know your entire drug list. Take care, M - In , " Eva " <evaob365@...> wrote: > > Hi guys. Eva here. I was at the docs today and I have been having a lot of bone and joint pain.

Has any one any experience with this. Thanks and God Bless. Eva Brown > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
