hey all, hope 2005 is healthier for all of us! i was diagnosed with OA in my knees in 1998, at the age of almost 33, about 10 years earlier than the orthopedist,who did arthroscopic on both, told me i would...i did the synovisc shots until one leg had a horrendous allergic reaction and had to have it and almost three shots of fluid removed... then, just as 2004 was about to end, i got diagnosed with OA in both my lower back and my hips! I am now with a bottle of darvocet, flexeril and indocin adorning my nighttable...most nights, i need all three...anyone got any better ideas of what to take that won't make me a zombie the next morning?

Welcome to our humble group. Your group dues must me paid in chocolate directly give to me (I'm the CTO...chocolate treasure officer) I switched to Ultracet for pain meds and I havent had any druginess, loopiness, or woozy feelings. Tell your doc how you feel and if something different may work better for ya! Janet R | hey all, | [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] | any better ideas of what to take that won't make me a zombie the next | morning? Thanks for the welcome! I really hope to find something new...I took Celebrex and went off it months before the first warnings were out...then I took Vioxx and had the chest pains before they were fashionable... wish i could pay you in chocolate...where do you live? if you live nearby, if we ever meet, i will give you chocolate... > Hi Froggy! > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > next > | morning?

I was one of them until I decided I wasn't getting enough winter and moved to northeastern Michigan instead! (yeah, right HA! I keep trying to convince myself of that, though as a native Floridian I'm struggling to "embrace the winter"!) Oh, and with my PA and fibro, I take tramadol (ultram) with acetaminophen, Zanaflex, and Bextra. The Ultram/acetaminophen combo (also sold together as Ultracet) and Zanaflex have made a world of difference for me in being able to sleep.
