Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 " My rheummy made me go off the vioxx before he would start me on metho and told me not to " " Geez, I wish these doctors would get together! I'm on metho and my doctor put me on Vioxx. Why can't they all agree on a course of treatment and be done with it? Love, Judy " Judy, etal, I'm on a course of relafen right now and I hope it works. I was on vioxx for about 4 mos before I got off it because of the toxic warnings when used with MTX. I loved Vioxx. I never had a problem and in a way, it's been the best anti-inflamm for me, lasting the full 24 hours (two pills am and pm). Before I began trial of relafen, my PCP told me that vioxx would be ok as long as my liver panels were checked every month for toxicity and since I had no problem before, he didn't think I'd have a problem being back on it. Anyway, I'm trying relafen and already I can feel pain when I get up in the morning. Ugh! ===== When choosing the lesser of two evils, I always like the one I haven't tried. -- Mae West __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
