Celebrex Alternatives

I am not sure if I can afford to keep taking this drug so I am looking for alternatives. The backyard chemist in me has kind of given up on making my own so I am just going to continue to look for the best solution for me and others like me. I really can't afford the $350 a visit doctor who , although highly acclaimed , I never met. It was wait three months longer or see his associate. I do not think they make a price adjustment either and were going to quit prescribing Celebrex unless I came back for another visit. My recourse was to have my regular doctor prescribe it. Even with the Pfizer discount program and my prescription insurance it is $25 a month - not cheap.


This insightful article is very helpful. The recent scare in the news about Pfizer settling lawsuits in my opinion really has nothing to do with Celebrex as a drug. There are just too many factors in the diagnoses involved and too many sue happy people. Medicine is an art performed by highly trained scientists and is not 100% accurate. People miss their doses , lie about doing (or not doing) other things that contribute to their health so whilst I applaud ongoing efforts at clinical trials the results are just not conclusive. Its like gambling ... there are warnings on every package of Celebrex ... and you choose to pop the pill or not. I think they settle some lawsuits because the other team just isn't going to give up and has singleness of purpose and Pfizer just wants to get back to its business- making drugs and money. Settling lawsuits isn't about the right or wrong of Celebrex - its about business. If there was real proof that Celebrex caused heart attacks in most people they would pull it off the market.

At this point I am going to continue Celebrex and work on seeking alternatives because I am on a budget and my true goal is to have less pain and slow down my disease. My favorite therapy is a couple of golf balls I picked up for $2.

I found the article on emedtv.com

Silk and Cookies I'll be ready with Silk and cookies so I do not eat all the candy between trick or treaters. Discovering new beverages is a favorite pastime of mine  so when bzzagent.com invited me to try out Silk Almond Coconut Blend I was delighted. It fits right in with my new health program . I should say continuous health program - I am always looking for new ways to enjoy some of my favorite things - just in a healthier way.

The author , Dr..Reza Ghorbani MD , ABIPP, FIPP is a Harvard trained pain management specialist. So I looked up his practice *click here if you want to check him out*   I was curious about the fancy letters in his title too  ABIPP- American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians   FIPP-  Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice  The book "Secrets To A Pain Free Life" packs a lot of information and compassion into its relatively small size.
