Hi all,

        Well,  I just spent the last hour and a half searching the Web
     and the PIEN archives for some information with AltaVista (my fa-
     vorite)  and Google (everybody else's favorite) and came up with-
     out finding anything substantial or useful. :-(

        So,  I'll  put my question out to the masses: Does anybody out
     there have any experience with conflict between the pain  medica-
     tion called Celebrex and typical Parkinson's medications?

        I  am  currently taking Sinemet CR 50/200, Amantadine, Requip,
     Selegiline, and Benztropine for PD and Levothyroxine for  Thyroid
     problems.  I was prescribed (actually, given samples of) Celebrex
     for arthritis pain and developed both a foot/leg swelling and  an
     itchy  rash.   It appears that when I stopped using Celebrex, the
     swelling has been reduced significantly and  it  feels  like  the
     rash is starting to go away.

        Does  anybody  have any similar or other experience? ... a Web
     site they could point me to?

        Thanks, in advance, for any thoughts or experiences ...
