Last year my podiatrist prescribed Bextra for my plantar fasciitus. I went home and checked it out on WebMD and all kinds of WARNING signs came up. I refused to take it and am glad I didn't. My Dr. was not happy. In fact she thought I was crazy not to at least try it. Fortunately, I don't like taking pills of any kind or at least check them out first!
" I refused to take it and am glad I didn't"
That can be a catch22 situation. I've been prescribed several drugs that really reacted badly for me. I refused to continue taking them. Finally after years of misery and incapcitation from car wrecks, etc. I applied for disability. Because I refused to take the poison, I was declined benefits for "refusing treatment". I hope your condition doesn't disable you.
