"i have had rheumatoid arthritis for 40 years. i got it at age 4. this medication has now been taken off the market and i am finding my world getting very small. i have taken it for the past 12 years, no heart problems at all. my doctor has given me vicodin and i&#039;m a mess. darvocet let me control pain by how much needed on good or bad days without the side effects of these other medicines. i can&#039;t believe there is no other medicine on the market that works the way this one does, allowing me to live a more normal life. why couldn&#039;t they have allowed long time users to continue.
