Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Now I don't know if I should even try Celebrex after hearing what you have to say. I have tried Naproxion, and that didn't have any effect. It seems as though nothing really does and I still have VV after four years, so I'm highly frustrated and aggervated. It is ruining my marriage, lifestyle, health and well being. Tina M. Celebrex? <Dee, have you heard of using Celebrex for VV? My doctor wants to try it. Tina M.> HI Tina... Celebrex is for pain relief, often used for arthritis, and known as a cox 2 inhibitor..(expensive & a prescription). I know the FDA pulled the ads from TV a few yrs ago (might still be in effect as I've not noticed it being advertised) but not sure. It's related to Vioxx.... the one they pulled off the market and lots of lawsuits hon as it was tied into some major heart and cardiovascular risks, even deaths. (both Vioxx & Celebrex double the risk). My hubby used to be on that *till he met me* *smile* and has gone to Aleve (OTC) and he claims it works just as well, and some studies say it's a comparison to use but without the heart risks of Celebrex. (Naproxen is the active ingredient in Bayer's Aleve) so maybe that'd work? I can't believe how that one's still on the market, (must have had some deep pockets) so it goes. But 'I' personally wouldn't take Celebrex but to each their own hon and some swear by it. Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I think it depends on what type of VV you have. I have had itching and burning. No throbbing, or stabbing.Diet and hormones control my VV. BlueeberriPlanning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I was on Celebrex a year ago for about six months. It did nothing. I could not even see any results even for my stiff knee, or headache, or anything else minor that I had during that time. It might as well have been a placebo for all it did for me. nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of Tina Moehnke Sent: Friday, April 04, 2008 6:59 PM To: VulvarDisorders Subject: Re: Celebrex?
