Tigger,

I am almost 3 years post from open RNY. I also have fibromyalgia and have

experienced a marginal ulcer that perforated and caused me to develop

peritonitis. I also have had some very high sed rates within the past 3 years

and

eventually they go back down, never to normal, but way down.

I am very afraid of Vioxx as it can cause gastric bleed and I have already

had one ulcer to perforate and two anastomatic strictures. The only thing I

use for pain from the fibromyalgia is tylenol and due to my problem with

chronically elevated liver enzymes , that is rare. I do , on rare occasion, take

a

vicodin.

I hope you feel better soon.

Take care

Peachy hugs,

Tigger,

My aren't you my ulcer buddy or is it just that we are the scope queens!

I don't think Vioxx is good for the tummy.

Check with Vita Mom, she will know for sure, but I think you might want to

stay away from it.

I've had fibro and it can be really painful and very draining. Water

aerobics really helped me out. Not the regular class but a class for folks

with arthritis.

Hugs and hope you feel better

real soon!
