Dear Denise, I go to these sort of things to : 1) hear an expert in a field I'm interested in; 20 meet others; 3) have a nice meal. Of course they are very self-promotimg for the sponsor, but if you can stand the commercial............... I started taking celebrex the day after it was released! I had been anxiously awaiting it. And it worked great on my osteo arth and helped my fibromyalgia. It was so neat. After 6 mo, it just quit working. Boom, period, gone. The celebrex spoiled me, I forgot real fast what it was like to hurt all the time :-( I haven't tried vioxx yet.
