Re: If you were me... Celebrex

May 12, 2006

Hi :

You know, I kind of missed that on Sierra's post! I

was on Celebrex for a while, and it really was

helping, but when the Vioxx thing came out, I stopped

taking it because I was afraid of the heart problems.

I went on Mobic instead which is not as good as

Celebre, but I think it's safer, at least as safe as

most of our meds can be.......
