Thanks for the info,Laura. I think that the Bextra is causing the stomach problems - I still have them and it is day three. Pepto doesn't help. I will tell my...
Erin Sorry to hear of your trouble with Bextra. I have heard many people express the fact that they have had side effects from it. Fortunately, I have not ...
Well, that helps me explain my fatigue as well - I was wondernig why I could sleep so much lately. I could sleep all day and not wake up once. But I don't mind...
Oh absolutely that one went in the trash can. It was only helping maybe 5-8% on the worst chest spot and not touching the upper left back, so no big loss...
Sherry, I too had to deal with infertility. It was hard whenever someone else around me was having kids and I couldn't. We ended up doing invtro and have a...
