I am a Vioxx success story, it kept me stable, and wonder what everyone is planning to take now instead.

I am seeing a new LLMD next week and was wanting to go in there armed with a suggestion.

I recently started Neurontin, am also on Ultracet, Condroitin and glucosomaine, so I hope they hold me from the arthritis pain until I have a substitute.

Have you tried Celebrex? It works well for some.

I know someone who is having success with Pure Encapsulations' Curcumin97. Her doctor told her patients find it comparable to Vioxx.

I haven't tried it yet, so can't say from personal experience.
