Bextra

[Guest guest]

I'm Jack. I've had PC for about ten years. I was just about at the end of the

line three years

ago. It had metted to my spine and had I already undergone the usual regimen;

surgery,

radiation and hormone shots. At this time, I was incapicated with severe back

spasms. The

doctor prescribed Bextra to relieve the pain. To make a long story short, the

Bextra proved to

be a " miracle " drug. Everything good that could happen happened. Within months,

I was

back to doing the normal activities for a 72 year-old. I threw my cane away, psa

went from

300 down to 7.2 and regained 40 lbs. Then the worst of things that could happen

did. Bextra

was withdrawn from the market. My supply has run out. I appealed through my

senators and

congressman to ask for help from the FDA/mfgr. for a mercy supply. I was, in

essence, told

to shove it and go ahead and die. I can't find any Bextra anywhere. I " m

desperate. My psa is

rising again. Had anyone had this experience, or found any alternative? I'm

trying Celebrex,

but it doesn't seem to be helping much. I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone

would have.

Thanks, Jack
