Cal,
That was an excellent post, written with wisdom, maturity and class.
"One day this group of bashers may "wake up" to see that in life, money isn't everything. The law of averages and the bigger "real life" trend tells me they too (and their families) are not immune to life's afflictions"
So true. There is one thing that NO basher can dispute, and that is that PENNSAID works remarkably....no, AMAZING. I have seen it do its job on so many family members and friends now.
And let me tell you this, as Wayne concurs, if my senior aged aunt and mother-in-law had to chose between the relief that PENNSAID provided and some faintly possible, localized, side effect that long term use of DSMO in Pennsaid (though not one has ever happened in 10 years of use) may cause, they WOULD continue to use it every day.
It seems several posters on Stockhouse and this thread would rather DSMO be debated in bureaucratic perpetuity, all the while seeing tens of thousands of people suffer the pain of OA and the devastating GI/cardiac side effects of oral NSAIDS.
