Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Hi , I have been on Vioxx for ...................I can't remember now, but it's been months, and it has been working pretty well for me. Not prefect, but it has helped. I was taking Celebrex, but it did the same thing that Advil did to me. Pain in the stomach. I have read that Vioxx is causing a lot of GI problems now, but so far, it doesn't seem to be affecting mine. Can you tell me what symptoms you had to suggest the bleeding GI? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From: dlbmo@...
