Hey everyone,
I was on youtube just now watching Gerdicks swims and one of the related links was this video by a masters swimmer who was told to have heart damage because of Vioxx use...maybe he's among us? But I thought it was a kinda funny video--I took vioxx for 4years because of my shoulders during high school before it was removed so...I am sure there are the bunch of us out there who have used it as well..

Eventually is was proven Vioxx had nothing to do with those heart problems, was not the causative agent, nor did it cause any other problems. Too late for the drug company, too late for the comsumer. Now we have more expensive newer drugs. Lots of litigation problems with drugs are caused more by money necessity than damage per se. Silicone implants are now back, but millions made millions from Dow
Corning...in settlements. So now we have the more expensive Arcoxia for more painfull ailments, and our time proven Ibuprofen (no one is suing those guys, not enough money there) for our lesser inflamations. Funny no one complains about aspirin, by far the NSAID with more side effects...billy fanstone
