Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hi Rob, It's also known as Voltaren (as Sierra says) and does not have the side effects that Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra have. I can say that last night I had my first good night's sleep in a long time! I know of other people with OA and RA who also take Voltaren with good success. I am allergic to sulfa, so couldn't take the others, thank goodness! Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Judi that is very interesting what you say about your sulfa allergy, because I also have a very serious sulfa allergy. The last time I got hold of sulfa on my skin I just about ended up in ICU in anaphylatic shock!!! I took Bextra every day for the past two years with no problems. I didn't even try Vioxx or Celebrex because of the sulfa allergy...but bextra seems to be fine.
