Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Received the info about Vioxx at 2:30pm yesterday from CNN. Called my rheumatologist right away, by 5pm had a prescription and by 6pm a bottle of Bextra 20mg 30 count in hand. Took the first one just a bit ago this morning so we'll see how it goes. On 12/05/04 I started taking Vioxx 25mg 1 daily, my last dose was yesterday morning. For those that were on Vioxx what change has been made for you? On a side note my last visit to the rheumatologist was the Sept 22. He was pleased with the results of the Humira (4 injection/9 weeks by this time). Things were looking pretty good till the results of my blood work, came back with a liver # of 280. These #s have been a little higher then normal since my frist visit to my PD back in Sept 03. At that time the # was 217 and was blamed on the amount of Aleve I was taking before seeing the dr. The # has been creeping up with each test since. This last blood work was a # jumps of 40 points. So as of Sept 27th I'm off Methotrexate 8 tabs once a week till after the next blood work sometime the week of Oct 25th.
