celebrex

[Guest guest]

My doctor is putting me on 400 mg of Celebrex for headaches. I don't have a problem trying it, as I've been taking Demerol for pain currently. Last year when I wanted to do this, my same ent said I couldn't take 400 mg. After all the hype about vioxx and celebrex last year I'm wondering if this is safe. Yesterday when I called his nurse to ask for a refill on Demerol she proceeded in making me feel like an addict and said the Ent would get in trouble if he keeps giving me demerol. She said alot of other things that I won't go into. I've wanted to get desensed so I could take asa rather than demerol everyday for chronic headaches but my Ent is against this idea. As you know I had surgery two months ago, and my frontals are already full. I've got an appointment with a pain hypnotist for the end of July (when money is available). Am I not doing my part in trying to feel well? I really love my Ent but am thinking its time to see someone else. I feel stongly that because he hasn't been able to fix me, that he's just given up on me. If I remember correctly, Celebrex won't take the headache away all day. And I was told that I can only take it once a day. I'm going into my working 7 days a week and can't imagine being able to handle it with headaches. I'm extremely tempted to try and desense myself but am a bit of a chicken. Has anyone ever desensed themselves to Tylenol? I'm thinking that this may be safer. I'm looking forward to the day where I can email you all and not be such a whiner, but I'm in a bit of a jam, and need advise.

Thanks Tami
