It was odd that the Thurs. before the announcement came about the
dangers of Celebrex, I had been to my physician and asked him the blunt
question if Celebrex was safe? He explaind to me that even though
Vioxx and Celebrex are both Cox 2 inhibitors, they take very different
pathways in affecting the pain relief. I have osteo as a result of 4
episodes of Lyme's Disease and have decided to continue to take
Celebrex in the lower dosage range.
During the weekend that the news coverage was heavy about Celebrex, CNN
had a cariologist on who said the same thing as my physician. I am a
nurse and cannot do my work without relief of pain and I have found no
help from Ibuprophen, Naprosyn, or anything else. So, that's my
position on it for me; for now anyway. I am watching this very closely
to say the least.
