There is hope for a new derivative of naproxen ( ATB-346) that is 100 times safer than naproxen and actually helps heal existing ulcers in the GI tract in lab studies on rats. This should help us with the juggling act between the pain in the joints and the pain in the tummy.

You may read more about this Promising Drug for Inflammation on the Science Daily website. It's not a cure but every glimmer of hope is welcome.

Thanks for the info. I am always watching for new drugs and reading up on what is happening in the drug industry.

Happy Easter,

Makes me happy to think there is hope out there. I can not tolerate any opiate. I can not use my mobic right now because my nose bleed for over an hour. All I can take is tylenol and use the Flector patch.

Take care of yourselves, all!
