[Editor's Note: Please: CALM DOWN, . Vioxx has been used by 84 million

people since it was first authorised for use by the general population. The

risk that an individual will suffer a heart attack or stroke related to Vioxx is

VERY small. Talk to your regular doctor when he or she returns. You should

discuss alternative treatments. Any decision about which drug product to take

instead of Vioxx should be made in consultation with your physician based on an

assessment of your specific treatment needs. If you feel that you have heart or

stroke issues NOW, then report to your nearest emergency room. You were not on

the drug for very long. You WILL cause yourself some real problems if you don't

calm down and start to think rationally. If you have been under regular medical

care and your heart, blood pressure and other vital signs have been OK, there is

NO reason for you to be concerned. Virtually every member of this list has been

on Vioxx or some other COX-2 inhibitor at one time or another. People are not

dropping dead like flies. Only a minuscule percentage of those taking Vioxx

have been affected. The odds are with you. Kathy F.]

Hi ,

I hate to be a person with bad news, but Disability from the

Government is VERY hard to get. I had to go to all sorts of Drs. and

I have a broken hip and use a walker plus a wheelchair along with my

PA. I was lucky the lady that was working my " case " was retiring and

she got tired of hearing from me and finally let it go through. I

think why it is so hard to get now is that it has been abused. I

hope this is too much of a " downer " but I was shocked by the way I

was treated by their Drs. They don't understand PA at all.

Hi lee,

Please don't worry I'm sure your Dr. will find something else to give

you for a replacement for Vioxx. I take Celebrex and it makes the

difference in my fingers and other joints. I will pray for you.

God Bless, Sue.

Hi lee,

Although it's not true for everyone, I actually had minimally better sucess with

with Celebrex for helping take off the edge than Vioxx. My mother expierenced

signifigantly better results with Celebrex, so talk to your doctor, but there

are many replacements. In the past I also took Lodine (indomicin) which also

helped some...

Good Luck,
