What response would I expect from arthritis that has been treated (for a
couple of years?) with Vioxx -- will complicate the response? (She's
50-ish, and other than arthritis (from overuse of hands), very healthy both
physically and emotionally. I haven't taken her case yet, but am expecting
to find a straight-forward calc-c.)
Thankyou!

Watch out for heart complications and stroke.
That is why they took it off the market.

Ouch, thankyou!
Do you know, can I assume that if she hasn't had these problems yet, now
that she's off she probably won't develop them? (But I'll take her case
much more carefully with that in mind -- thanks again!!!)

I know from personal experience.
I was put on it as was my husband and I spent the year treating myself for
inflammation of the heart that occurred "out of the blue". I knew nothing
about that side effect.
I was successful with Adonis vernalis and others, but Joe was hospitalized
for a bleeding ulcer from it, lost 4 pints of blood because it ate his
stomach out.
The inflammation is there, better look for it.
Look up congestive heart failure, and heart muscle inflammation to find the
right remedies, to match them with your client.
