HI Sheila,

I heard about the FDA plug-out on Vioxx & Celebrex too, but I didn't know Bextra was included.

FYI: should Advil not work, you would want to check to see if you could get higher dosage of Ibuprofen. Off-counter amount is about 200mg (100mg?), by Rx from 400-800mg. When chemo was constantly giving me a fever, my onc prescribed me 600mg of Ibuprofen. It worked. Only downside is that I had to eat something with Ibuprofen, as it could upset one's stomach.

Take good care ~ JO.
