Jerri,

what anti-inflamitories (if any) are you taking? I've been taking

Celebrex for about a year, and then devloped GReD and started taking

Prevacid, and then developed frequent migraines... the thing is, I

found out Prevacid can cause migraines, so I stopped taking that.

Then I wondered if the Celebrex could be causing some of the GI

issues so I stopped taking THAT... now I'm in pain 24/7, but a LOT

less STOMACHE trouble, though the intestines are still... well, how

to be delicate about this? " messy " ...

Sometimes I wonder if all the meds we take are worth it, or if they

only end up causing more problems.

LOL - I stay " messy " as you put it. I had my gall bladder out in

1995. I've only had about a dozen " normal " stools since. Yeah, I

know TMI - but the facts are the facts. LOL I've had GERD for

years. My 10 year old son has it too.

I use to take celebrex but stopped due to tummy troubles. I only

take Plaquenil now and occasional Ibuprofen for joint issues. I take

a ton of other med though. I'm seeing one doc today and will ask if

my Nexxium comes in a higher dose. Thanks for the info on Prevacid

and migraines...I'd rather have tummy troubles than more migraines.

I have enough of those on my own!

I know what you mean about the meds and side effects! What doesn't

help us may kill us huh? Thankfully, life goes on...
