I have had non-fun reactions to the other 2 (indocin and clinoril). My questions are: 1) Is there any evidence that anti-inflammatories really help arthritis? 2) What causes the bad reactions (nothing terrible, just feeling awful)? 3) What side-effects do these drugs usually have? I have not been on all of these for the arthritis (the indocin was prescribed for a different problem) but 2 doctors have now prescribed them for arthritis and related knee problems. liz -- liz sommers My "best address" will soon be changing to topaz!mama!liz but I can still be reached at: uucp: ...{seismo, ut-sally,ihnp4!packard}!topaz!sommers arpa: sommers@rutgers
