[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 171044"] What frustrates me is how quickly docs will rx drugs just to see if it will work. It's like going for a diagnosis backwards. I was given nexium because the first cardiologists I had decided that I was having GERD instead of angina - even though I had no symptoms of GERD and it was the exact same symptoms I had when I had a heart attack. I took it for a week, no change and my GP said I could stop taking it then. Then you read articles like this and you're thinking, geez, thanks guys. I was also contacted about doing a study for Celebrex because of my heart disease and because I had seen a rheumy. I probably wouldn't have qualified because I haven't been diagnosis'd with RA or osteoarthritis, but after reading that I'm glad I didn't call back. Yeah, let's give heart attack girl a drug that's dangerous for the heart. easy child's girlfriend takes celebrex and even though she's young and healthy, I forwarded the article to her and told her that she and her mom may want to discuss other alternatives with her doctor. As far as pseuodoephedrine, I guess I'll have to think twice. It really works and you have to get it from behind the counter, but the new stuff doesn't work near as well - and it makes me loopy. -er. I guess I'll have to get a neti pot like the article mentioned. I thought of Jo when I read that, because I think she's the first person I ever heard talk of it. [/QUOTE]
