NSAIDS    For some reason my brain is not working tonight. Those are the first ones that come to my mind.

Hi Holly,

 I have a list on my profile.Go to the JUNE 2007 archives...
Nice seeing you around here again!

not to sound dumb but how do I find it??


thank you,
holly

Just playing with you....we both know its probably, in one way or another, my fault that the list was misplaced!

Love ya and hope someone can find their own list so we can get it laminated and stapled to all our medical folders!

I'd like to preface my reply with:

**The below medicines are specifically from my surgeon's Patient Handbook and are by no means me indicating what someone should/shoud not take. I strongly suggest contacting your surgeon's office**

That's a very comprehensive list. Much more than what I have. May I add it to my profile?

Hey Jen,

ABSOLUTELY you may and if necessary I will be glad to photo copy it and send it to you via snail mail. Again, its from my Patient Handbook newly updated this year with the most current information from my surgeon's office. :)

Thank you very much what you posted was exactly what i was looking for something from a doctor. Not to be deeming or rude but some how we all got this list going around and some of the meds on there we can actually take i think indv. just added and what they couldnt take and then it became a master list.

you had good advice we should all ask our own doctors cause as we all know there opinions differ.



once again thank you,

Holly
