Re: instread of vioxx...

Lorraine, Glucosamine-Chondroitin is good stuff. I don't know about

the other ingredients, but my Vet had me give 1500/1200 mg to my old

arthritic dog, and it helped him tremendously and didn't seem to

bother his stomach. He did say that it doesn't always work for

everyone, but I'm glad it worked for you. Some also say the MSM is

even better, but I have no experience with that. I'm glad you're

feeling better.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me! I weighed the risk of pain .v.

freedom. I decided to take the Vioxx with all the precautions, made sure I

had something in the pouch, took my Zantac! But you are right, the first

sign of trouble can be the last........I started hemorrhaging BIG

TIME......ended up in the hospital for 4 days and needed to pints of blood.

I by no means want to " scare " anyone....just inform and share. I knew the

risk and I took them.......but I gotta tell ya.......I felt awfully guilty

for the people who love me and were scared to death that I was going to

bleed to death that night.......I didn't weigh that into the

equation.....for me that was tough~! I really appreciate you guys being so

willing to " share " your finds with all of us!! They sent me home with 200

Darvocet and told me to not even THINK of Vioxx or Excedrin again. The

Darvocet works wonders (for now) but I don't want to have to live on this

high of a dose so I am glad for these alternatives!!! THANKS guys, you are

the best........... P.
