I was reading the information that came with my prescriptions. The side effects for Naprosyn included heart attacks and strokes, possibly fatal, with the risk increasing over time.

So I didn't take Naprosyn that day, or any day since. I'd already cut the prescription in half unilaterally, so this was just one more half. I think I may have had a bit of a bounce-back headache a day or two ago. One morning or evening, I'm not sure which, I was sort of aware of my sacroiliac area, but not unpleasantly so. The pain hasn't come back.

We'll see.

That's in the same group of drugs that caused my first renal failure, so I can't have it. But I have to say that a fair number of my other meds say things like that (and almost all think I'll be nauseated) and I still need them. I hope your pain stays away.

Yechh, renal failure! Another good reason to leave off the stuff, having had three kidney stones in the distant past (before Magnesium supplements).

Well, so far, so good, I guess.

Hope you can stay both pill and pain free.
