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..

I swore off all NSAIDs when I developed hives from taking aspirin. The doctor told me that once you get an allergic reaction to one NSAID, others are likely to trigger similar reactions. I tested this out, taking a couple ibuprofens, and developed a half hour wheezing fit. Decided it was time to take the hint my body was giving me.
Kind of disappointing really b/c until then aspirin and ibuprofen were right there with my vitamins.
But the upside is that I've found supplements that work very well and have none of the side effects.
