Your posts on nitrites, etc.
I w3anted to keep it private, but you just claimed that no one else had objected to your asinine posts when you know doggone well I emailed you personally and called you, with all due respect, an ass for posting what you did. So you are less than scrupulous about even such minor things as who agrees with you or not. Pathetic. I do hope, however, that your condition improves, for what it's worth.

And now that your drivel is out on the full list, others will also be
able to come to the same decision about its value as I did.
Yes, it is clear. It is, indeed, crystal clear, from whence the
drivel doth drip.
At least now, some of the posts have enough information to allow a
real evaluation of the statements. I will be able to get to the
nitrite citations this weekend.
What I cannot figure out is why the statements were written, as they
were, in the first place. What is the motivation? Perhaps arnold's
earlier observations obtain here. If you are in pain and nothing is
helping you...
I don't know...
In any event, I am on allopurinol, 300 mg per day, it seems to be
working now and I will keep my fingers, if not toes, crossed that I
continue to tolerate it and that the allopurinol continues to work.
By the way, I did hear from two reliable sources, one an
anestheesiologist friend I play golf with, that when you are taking
Celebrex, the NSAID that I take to relieve the pain as my first
defense, that you have to be very careful about strenuous exercize. I
stress strenuous exercize as in taking a long run and pushing
yourself. He believes that it is involved in stopping your heart. His
theory, that makes sense but is only his personal opinion, is that
when you take a strong anti-inflamatory drug, you become insensitive
to the danger signs your body is trying to send to you to tell you to
let up. There have been 3 deaths in the last year around here and
Celebrex is suspected in all three of at least contributing...I
couldn't fing anything about it but in this case I tend to believe
the Doc. , particulerly an anesthesiologist. But, the other side of
the issue is that it is pretty self limiting in my case. I can't
imagine doing any kind of exercize at all when I feel bad enough to
have to take Celebrex.
I have no information about any other NSAID but your reasoning seems
logical to me. Stressing yourself when the primary responses to
physical stress are masked, seems like a dumb thing to do.
In all three cases the people were young men, 38, 44 and 49, all were
distance runners (3-5 miles 3-5 times a week) and all had taken
celebrex for several days because of pain in their legs. All had been
absent from running for a week or more because of the pain and then
felt so mucyh better with celebrex that they went out and literally
killed themselves. Or so I have been told. They all had tacacardia
induced cardiac arrest, different than an infarction and all were
essentially DOA when the medical help got there.
Apparently the thing was uncovered because one of they guys did not
have a perscription for Celebrex, he got it from a fellow runner who
swears by it. The supplier has not had a problem.
I know of permanent injuries sustained by older tennis players
competing in tournaments who have played, as they said, "almost numb"
from Motrin. A pretty close friend of mine ripped the tendons of his
arm out trying to win the finals of a tournament in which he hurt his
arm in the early rounds. He was able to continue to play by taking
large amounts of Motrin. "How much? I asked him and he told me I
didn't want to know. He actually ripped out three tendons in his
forearm. They were sergically repaired about a year and a half ago
and he is back playing but not like he used to.
I have a tough time even walking to the mailbox when I let myself
take Celebrex so I'm not in any danger from it but I thought I should
post.
