I would definitely not take any NSAID products. I was given a "suped up" version of advil by my [wiki2="Arthritis"]arthritis[/wiki2] doc and it did wonders for my atrhritis, problem was after a week or so I started loosing weight 5 pounds a week! Didn't think much of it at first, then after about 20-25 pounds came down with what I thought was the [wiki2="Flu-Vaccine"]flu[/wiki2], vomiting, diarrhea etc... I got extremely weak at this point and was loosing weight still, ended up taking myself to ER, they ran blood work, as soon as the test came back, I was admitted and on an IV so fast I didn't know what was going on. Ended up in hospital for 9 days no food or water allowed, on IV and too many drugs to mention. At the end of it all found out that the arthritis was brought on by my Crohn's and it was triggered into a tail spin by the "suped up" advil I was taking.
