wstera,

My brother was a sales rep for Pfizer when Vioxx and Celebrex came to market a few years back. He said that the overwhelming evidence indicated that Vioxx couldn't hold a candle to Celebrex and had significant side effects that Celebrex didn't have. When I asked him how Vioxx would be able to compete if he was right, he laughed and replied "Because Merck is the best marketing machine". Based on that (marketing) alone, he still owns Merck stock.

True story. Ask your doc about Celebrex.

OOFie-

this may sound stupid, but i prefer to call
it "thinking outside the box"...

find out what limbaugh was taking. he strikes
me as yer typical "type A" hypertensive personality
who was also quite overweight until recently and
probably had high cholesterol readings too. if he
didn't have a heart attack with all those risk
factors, chances are, you won't either.

one caveat... beware the addictive properties of
whatever he was abusing.

:-)
