Celebrex is gf - I've been taking it for 2 years and it's helped me more than
any drug I have ever taken for arthritis.  My husband and two friends both
had terrible reactions to Vioxx - two of them tremendous weight gains and
swelling in the ankles.  My other friend broke out in a rash from Vioxx and
it wouldn't go away - even when she stopped taking it.  She had to take
prednisone for several weeks to alleviate the rash.  My husband's dr. told
him a lot of patients have problems with Vioxx so I wouldn't advise taking
it.
