New Year

Happy New Year!

Hoping it will be. In the last few months there have been reports that Naproxen (Aleeve) may cause the same heart related issues as Vioxx etc. Are they kidding me? The FDA/ AMA or whoever has said that Aleeve should be o.k if taken as directed on the label and for no longer than 10 days. Sorry but arthritis doesn't just go away after 10 days. What is left to take? I sure hope they develop a new "safer" arthritis medication. I'm sure there are many people out there like me who are suffering!

P.S- Since giving up the Bextra I have had a major headache once a week. I was told that the headaches are a result of my neck being so screwed up so I guess the Bextra actually helped calm down my neck muscles a bit. Unfortunetly for me one headache can last for 2+ days so it has been an endless cycle of misery.
