Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 Here is a link to a web site that discusses the drug. It does mention the blood thinning questions and answers. Check out the information and see if you can get doctors with conflicting oppinions to talk to each other and decide what treatment course is the best for you. Hope this answers some of your questions. Caroline http://www.focusonarthritis.com/script/main/Art.asp?li=MNI & ArticleKey=8257 & page=\ 1 kericorey@... wrote: Hi everyone- I have a quick question.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Keri. Hi don't think we've met. Celebrex is like an aspirin. I had a hip surgery (THR) and the Docs left me on my NSAIDS. I had a shoulder replacement and they took me off. Seems we are more likely to develop a clot when we become temp. less mobile so they let you have or give you an aspirin-based medicine so you don't develop those. Think I'd want to question both Docs a little deeper and even mention the other's opinion to them. Good luck w/ the surgery. Mine went Fine. Love to ya. --Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Hi a Recently there was a comparison of celebrex and some other high dollar anti-inflammatory versus ibuprofen, the results were celebrex and the others don't work any better than ibuprofen. The comparison also said to save yourself some money and use ibuprofen in place of the high dollar prescription anti-inflammatory. This is probably what your insurance company is referring to. This comparison was on television a few weeks ago. Hope this helps. rjones202@... Celebrex I received a letter from my doctor that he received from the insurance company regarding Celebrex. Basically the letter was saying that for his patients using Celebrex, he should consider using less expensive NSAIDS (may have letters wrong, but I'm sure you know what I mean). Have any of you others who are using Celebrex received such a notice from your doctor? a , Administrative Assistant Faribault Foods, Inc. 3380 Piper Jaffray Tower 222 South 9th Street Minneapolis, MN 55402 Tele: 612-333-6461 Fax: 612-342-2908 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 And that was my biggest problem with other NSAIDS. In the beginning when they were trying different drugs on me at one point I was on 800 mg ibuprofen 3 x a day and I ended up in emergency feeling like I was giving birth the pain was so bad. I was constantly in and out of the hospitals and clinics because of severe stomach pain. I still have problems with nauseousness periodically but I don't have a problem with the stomach pain like I did. > > Also..what do " they " care that the newer -2 > drugs including Celebrex do protect the stomach > much better than other NSAIDS. > > ~~tricia~ > > > > -- Re: Celebrex > > Hi a > > Recently there was a comparison of celebrex and some other high dollar > anti-inflammatory versus ibuprofen, the results were celebrex and the others > don't work any better than ibuprofen.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 I agree a, While on other NSAIDS a bleeding ulcer developed due to the harshness of the meds on the stomach. Having taken Celebrex for 2 years plus without also taking Tagamet or something else for stomach protection, and experiencing *no* stomach problems, I applaud the scientists for this discovery...too bad this medication had to be stopped due to it making me very ill, because it did help relieve a lot of pain. I have a friend who is on Celebrex and she has *no* insurance coverage. She pays $5 a pill for it. That is rather pricey.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2002 Report Share Posted July 11, 2002 Hi a; I think the reson many doctors prefer the Celebrex and Vioxx may be because the newer NSAID's are easier on the stomach and over long years of use that can be a very important factor. Melt I received a letter from my doctor that he received from the insurance company regarding Celebrex. Basically the letter was saying that for his patients using Celebrex, he should consider using less expensive NSAIDS (may have letters wrong, but I'm sure you know what I mean). Have any of you others who are using Celebrex received such a notice from your doctor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Hi-- I have used Celebrex..and it works pretty well. I've had no side affects that I can recall. I am currently taking Vioxx for arthritis which helps me more than Celebrex. My doctor says that both drugs have the same kind of properties, but sometimes one or the other works better depending on the person. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 I have used Celebrex in the past, to help with arthritis pain. Yes it is effective, but after several months of my taking this medication, I found that it messed up my stomach. I was then taken off Celebrex and prescribed an alternative medication, of which didn't seem to react as harshly on my stomach. I think at the time it was Ultram, but I also found that Ultram made me feel 'too good', if that makes any sense. Also Ultram hasn't been out long enough for the medical profession to know the longterm side effects. So I then decided to keep searching for a less evasive alternative. As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am know taking Lortab (Hydrocodone is the generic version) which for me, seems to be the more effective analgesic for pain..for the time being, anyway!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Yes I also was on Celebrex-it did work on the arthritis in my knees and wrists and elbows. But after a few months I kept hearing how 2 inhibitors (such as Celebrex and Vioxx) can cause stroke and heart attack. Since my parents are both gone-Dad had complications along with heart failure, and Mom passed away from hypertensive hemmorrhage, I felt since I am predisposed to these, I took myself off Celebrex. I just use Ibuprofen and plain old stretching and exercise. There are good days, and also bad-but I do have days where I can get away with not having to take Ibuprofen.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 I have been on a combination of Ultram and Celebrex for about four years. I haven't had any side effects from Celebrex but if I over do the Ultram I get a headache the next day. Chances are, if you are feeling too good, you can usually cut your dose in half. I take 100mg a day of Ultram and one 200 mg pill a day of the Celebrex. Vioxx has been known to increase blood pressure and cause water gain. Celebrex can cause kidney and liver problems. Be your own best advocate and go to GOOGLE.com and look up all three medications. I think Ultram is the least offensive IF used properly. Karin Redston It just depends on what works for you...

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Celebrex is still on them market. That is what I was taking too. Stopped last week...Hope not to need it anymore! Yesterday my PT pushed me to the limit. Did some resistance thing that made my knees hurt I kept telling her that it did not feel good, and she said this is necessary..- Today My knees hurt worse than in the last 5 years... so need to eliminate that if I can, I am bone on bone with the knees, but they were always a secondary problem.- one I do not want to agravate. Let me recover from one TR before I am made to do another...besides they say the knees are worse! (venting over!)

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Wow! Tami, I feel sorry that you are suffering with the headaches. I am still taking The Tylenol 3's for my pain because my surgery is so new. Last week when I had to work in my daycare I had to take just regular old Tylenol and they worked fine. I hope this will continue. My problem is more of a burning sensation in my nose since the debrie was removed. You are not alone. I am so far pleased with this ENT because the last one only wanted me to rinse and live with the other symptoms. It maybe time for you to look for another one.tibor vais <tiborv@...> wrote: Hi Tami --Do you know that you are alergic to Tylenol?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi Tami, I think that because you have had an anaphylactic reaction you should find a doctor who will do it in a hospital. I got an estimate from National Jewish a few years ago and it was about $2500. I would think that Scripps would be as much or more now that they are not funded. It is a lot of money but less than a car and more valuable. Write a note to all the allergists in your region and see if any respond. I wish you could feel better for the working season.

Tami Re: celebrex Hi Tami,I think that because you have had an anaphylactic reaction you should find a doctor who will do it in a hospital. I got an estimate from National Jewish a few years ago and it was about $2500. I would think that Scripps would be as much or more now that they are not funded. It is a lot of money but less than a car and more valuable. Write a note to all the allergists in your region and see if any respond. I wish you could feel better for the working season.PamOn 5/13/06 1:12 PM, "Tami Klumpyan" <tami@...> wrote: Hi Tibor, I had an anaphalactic reaction to Tylenol (2000 mg) about 15 years ago. Smaller doses make me get itchy and break out in hives. Thanks Tami -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
