Here's a direct link to the index containing the COX-2 article--sounds promising:

Hi Henry, thanks for link. I am going to see Dr. Mirkin tomorrow, and he said he would give me prescription for Celebrex. The local CVS has some in stock, "not much" the pharmacist said, but I may start it tomorrow. I will let you know what I think.

Coincidentally, I just started taking something, MSM, methyl sulfonyl methane, I read about it in a book at Border's, I was in so much pain I would have taken rat poop if someone said it would help. Amazingly enough, it works! I have much less pain and inflammation. It is also called "crystal DMSO" or DMSO2. It is used in other countries, not well studied here, probably because it can't be patented. I have no idea what its potential side effects are, the book (written by two physicians, one at Medical College of Virginia in Richmond) claims it is safe. Anyway, it works.

OK, Henry, I just took my first Celebrex. Two of them, 100 mg. each, I was only supposed to take one every 12 hours, but I agree with Mae West, "Too much of a good thing is wonderful." But, I don't know whether Celebrex is a good thing or not, yet. I paid $54.99 for 100 pills, 100 mg. each. If they are just fancy ibuprofen, it ain't worth it. I'll let you know tomorrow whether it is better than ibuprofen.
