Re: Vioxx, NSAIDs linked to higher CHFhospitalization rates

This is a classic example of physicians not listening to patients and

wanting to add another drug to counteract a problem that the drug

originally prescribed has created, a. I hope your new rheumatologist

is very sharp - my leg is getting tired of kicking bad doctors in the

ass!

I'll tell you where to go!

Re: [ ] Vioxx, NSAIDs linked to higher

CHFhospitalization rates

,

I was on Vioxx for the last few years and have become increasingly

concerned

about the safety issues surrounding it.

My BP used to be so low - 100/65 that sometimes I¹d get lightheaded. In

the

last few years my pressure went up, but since it was still considered

low,

my doctors didn¹t seem to be concerned. Even though I expressed concern

to

them, telling them that my pressure was normally very low, so even

120/80 is

high for me. Before I left NJ my RD was considering BP medication. At

the

time I attributed high stress as the problem.

Right after moving here I discontinued Vioxx after reading one article

to

many about the cardiac implications.

A month later I went to my new GP and low and behold my pressure was

back to

100/65. Needless to say I won¹t touch Vioxx even though it does give

me

quite a bit of relief. I¹ve been taking as much ibuprofen as I¹m

allowed

and hopefully when I get in to my first RD appointment next week, he

will

have other ideas.

LOL! Ninja is back out of the closet, dressed and ready for action.

I too hope this new doc is a good one. He has a good write up as does the

Cleveland Clinic, so I feel optimistic.

Shall I send you a club so your leg gets a break?

Yes, I would like to you to help me, Cary. I think we would make quite

the dynamic duo. Then I won't need the club, a.
