I have severe Fibromyalgia, as well as several spinal injuries. I have been taking Celebrex for six years now, and have experienced none of the problems described in the side-effects sheet provided with it from the pharmacy. It relieves my pain for several hours, and helps with the inflammation that keeps me from being a productive part of society. Without it I experience difficulty in doing even the simplest of tasks, because my pain level increases so drastically. My only complaint about this drug is that it is so expensive my welfare insurance constantly fights me on it; insisting I take generic forms of it which do not work as well, and DO cause me many side-effects that are not only unpleasant but are also unacceptable. While sympathetic to those who have experienced difficult side-effects, Celebrex has my vote; though I wish wholeheartedly someone would speak to them about the outrageous price tag they attach to it. I have worked in pharmacies, and know they more often than not charge $200 and upwards on many popular meds for which their cost is in the less than $20 range. Shame on them for this. And shame on the government for allowing them to do so. No wonder people are buying drugs outside the USA. But I digress. Celebrex is a very good and effective drug. I just wish I did not have so many problems keeping it in my medicine cabinet. Thank you for listening.
