Bobert, I was anemic once, back about 15 years ago. Doc had me do a barium milkshake to see about ulcers, an endoscopy (they stick a light down yer throat), and a colonoscopy (they stick a light up yer...well, it ain't yer throat). I wanted 'em to do the endo and colono at the same time ("Doctor! I see a light!"), but they din't. They also din't find anything.

So they figured it was because I was taking Ibuprofen. Then about a year later I find out that a friend was also bad from taking Ibu -- in his case he was bleeding out through his stomach.

I quit taking it (except with food if there's nothin' else) and haven't had a problem since. I also take vitamins with iron.

My friend died. Not from the ibuprofen, from something else. Cancer, I think it was.

GIT IT CHECKED OUT!!!! Yer losin' blood someplace. If you don't want to do it fer yerself, do it for the P-vine. 'Cuz if you don't, I'm gonna come out there and hit you so hard upside the head yer brains are gonna rattle fer a month!
