Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi family, Got two questions for you. I take Bextra for arthritis...I know some of you have strong opinions about these drugs, but for me, for now, I am taking it especially since I had my back Xray'd and the Dr. said I had bone spurs and lots of osteoarthrits.. I am upping the Calcium Citrate too. My question is....Are there any of these arthritis drugs that come in a transdermal patch? and if you have to take Bextra how to take it and protect the pouch? I am leaving this Friday for a birding trip to south Florida and we will be on a boat for three days going to and from the Dry Tortugas..my questions concerns sea sickness. I have the Rx patch but it doesn't work well for birdwatching...it can make you sleepy..and miss the birds? It can also make your eyes light sensitive..I forget if it dialates the pupils or constricts them? I have taken baby Drammine for a one day, but this is for 3 days.....a friend takes GINGER. Obviously I can't take candied ginger, she takes Ginger Ease..I can't find that brand here but I did find something called Ginger force...after I opened it....which means I can't return it...discovered it is in a gelcap.. If I remember correctly it passes through? and the gelcap doesn't dissolve...I bit into it and found out it is very bitter tasting, so this won't work. The tea won't work either....lots of bathroom trips and there is only one on board...and again I would miss the birds..... Someone help!!!
