allergies, bextra, husbands&meds

[Guest guest]

I have had allergies for 22 years, started out with bad hay fever and

gradually got much worse...dust, pollen, grass, hay, chemicals, animals,

food...etc. The popping and itching ears has only been going on for less

than 5 years, seems to be getting worse, and cleaning my ears out frequently

doesn't seem to help.

I've tried celebrex, vioxx, bextra, voltaren, orudis, naprosyn, there are

only 1 or 2 RX NSAIDs that I haven't tried, and IMO they are worthless. But

is all that the doctor will prescribe, not only are they worthless, but they

have ruined my stomach also. I have decided that from now on, I will tell

the doctors that I am 'sensitive' to NSAIDs, as I refuse to take any more!

My husband has been giving me a hard time about taking any meds.....I don't

understand what concern it is of his? He sees what is going on with me,

maybe he can't find anything else to complain about?

, this could be the start of tinnitus. It could happen because of all

the NSAIDs that you took. Relefen caused my tinnitus. Try to protect your

ears from loud noise as much as you can. Use ear plugs if necessary.

He could be concerned that you are taking to many meds but you need pain meds

and anything else the doctor prescribes. Have him go with you to your

doctor. Maybe it will help. As for his concern, that I can understand but

as long as your doctor thinks that a med will help, I think that he should

really not upset you about your meds. Medication decisions should be between

you and your doctor. Explain to your husband why you are taking a certain

med and if he can't or won't understand, then I would let it drop. Let his

comments not bother you. You know what you need to know and do about this

fibro.

Take care,
