I Quit the Naproxen.....Found something called Wobenzym N today..... feel amazingly well....having also only taken 2 aspirin today (at 9am) BEFORE I found the Wobenzym N.....health food worker said she had her grandmother getting great results.....may be onto something....my internet research says it may be BETTER than aspirin....just wanted to let y'all know about a possible alternative!
