They haven't banned Celebrex yet, but they're eying it. Actually, there's a watchdog group trying to push out drugs they feel have an unacceptable risk. Problem is, many of us on these drugs know there's a slight risk--for example, my blood pressure went from 102-106/70 to 116/78 while taking Vioxx. But if they yank Celebrex, I'll get the leftover stuff and use it, and the leftover Celebrex, because my hands become claws without it.

It's my antibiotics that could become a problem like TNH's--life altering beyond description. There are other painkillers, but they are harder on the stomach. or have really creepy side effects.

I have too many other things to worry about--I'd rather I didn't have to worry about my medical stuff!
