About *Patt*
Expertise
i know a lot about this disease having it in my family from grandmothers, mother to sisters and children.

Experience
I have lived with this disease for some twenty five years. I can offer help in dealing with this, how to know you might have it or be getting it and why. I know the pain involved, the crippliing effect and can offer suggestions for relief. I will not medicate nor talk about what you should be taking, this is for your docter. I can however follow up with you on why and what works.

Rheumatology (including Arthritis) - Cheapest source for Bextra?


Expert: *Patt* - 10/6/2004

Question
Hi Patt -  They took Vioxx off the market so I went ot the doctor today and he prescribed Bextra (10 mg) for my arthritis.  It's an expensive drug.  Where have you found the best price for Bextra?

Thanks!

Earl

Answer
HI EARL
WHEN MY DOCTER PUTS ME ON EXPENSIVE MEDS I TELL HIM WHAT MY DRUG COVERAGE IS AND IT IS NOT MUCH, SO I TELL HIM OF I WANT ME TO TAKE THIS U MUST GIVE ME SAMPLES.  OTHERWISE I WILL HAVE NO ACCESS TO TAKING THE DRUG.
ASK FOR SAMPLES, THEY GET PLENTY.  WE HAVE ALOT OF DOCTER FRIENDS IN OUR DETAILING BUSINESS DOING THEIR CARS AND THEY GIVE US ALSO.  THEY GET TONS OF SAMPLES  AND CAN HELP PEOPLE OUT, JUST TELL YOUR DOCTER U CANNOT AFFORD IT.  I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GET OTHER THAN CANADA.?  I QUIT CELEBREX UNLESS THEY GIVE ME SAMPLES.  I TAKE ALIEVE.  AND, I FEAR IN THE END RESULTS THEY ALL EFFECT THE HEART, THIS IS WHY WHEN ON THEM ONE HAS TO GO BACK EVERY 3 OR 4 MONTHS TO HAVE THE HEART LISTENED TO.?

WARM REGARDS
PATT
