Have you tried testosterone?

Seriously, I understand. I have lupus and am allergic to Celebrex. I LOVED Vioxx, but it was taken off the market. If you're like me, the amount of asprin/advil/etc that I would need to take to mask the pain would kill my stomach.

If you can take Celebrex and it helps, do it! You wouldn't tell somebody with diabetes to not take their insulin & tough it out, right?
