H H Train-loving boy engineers good J.T. Robertson of Cuba, N.Y., is just 11, but he's certainly ahead of the curve when it comes to showing the rest of us how to combine passion with compassion. J.T. loves trains he loves to ride them, he loves to talk about them, and he loves to share the experience. For two consecutive Make A Difference Days, he and his pal Josh Tsujimoto, 7, collected cans for cash and paid for historic train rides for disadvantaged and disabled kids. J.T. and Josh’s tally in 2007 was 29,921 cans (more than double the approximately 14,700 they collected in 2006), along with enough donations to allow 422 passengers to take a spin on the historic Arcade and Attica railway.

When it comes to relieving arthritis pain, you may think some prescription NSAID pain relievers, like ibuprofen and naproxen, don’t have any cardiovascular risks. But based on the available research, that’s not clear. And if you look closer, the FDA requires all these prescription NSAID pain relievers, including Celebrex, to have the same cardiovascular warning about heart attack or stroke. What about heart attack or stroke? Any prescription NSAID, including Celebrex, may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors for it, such as high blood pressure, or when NSAIDs are taken for long periods. How do NSAIDs affect my stomach? All prescription NSAIDs, including Celebrex, also increase the chance of stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. With any of these medicines, patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. What does this mean for Celebrex? All prescription NSAIDs have some of the same warnings, and they all help treat arthritis pain. But since individual results may vary, having options is important. An NSAID, like Celebrex, may be one option. You also may be surprised to learn, prescription Celebrex has never been taken off the market. Actually, based on the available data, the FDA stated that for certain patients Celebrex’s benefits outweigh the risks. But only you and your doctor can make that decision. Uninsured?

What’s more, just one 200-mg dose provides 24-hour relief. And if you are concerned about stomach upset, you should know, in clinical studies, a lower percentage of patients taking Celebrex reported stomach discomfort, which includes indigestion, abdominal pain and nausea, versus prescription ibuprofen and naproxen. What does it do for arthritis pain? Celebrex relieves arthritis pain. It also relieves stiffness and inflammation associated with arthritis pain. Any other precautions? All NSAIDs, including Celebrex, should be used at the lowest dose possible, for the shortest time, based on your individual treatment goals. Do not take Celebrex if you’re pregnant or have had allergic reactions to aspirin or sulfonamides. All NSAIDs, including Celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin reactions. And tell your doctor if you’ve had kidney or liver problems. What next? For many with arthritis pain, not treating is not an option. Talk to your doctor about Celebrex and see what’s right for you.
