Re: Probably OT -- swollen mouth and lips, ibuprofen

There is a rare side effect of ibuprofen -- true allergy reaction,

but I've taken this dose and brand for at least ten years. I need it

to sleep because of joint pain. HOWEVER, I do have some of those

samples of Vioxx and Celebrex and may take one instead tonight.
