<< Somehow I seem to remember someone telling me that it wasn't a good idea to sing while taking NSAIDS due to the increased risk of vocal fold hemorrhage.
Is this true? Do I need to not take the vioxx until after NATS? I am really hurting and it is making my neck tension worse. But I also need to practice and I want to do well at these auditions. >>
My feeling is that if something is inflamed, take an anti-inflammatory. Take as much as you need to reduce the inflammation and no more. I think you're more likely to suffer a risk if you're taking too much for the situation. For example, 800 mg for a headache -- probably too much. Make sure you drink a lot of water. I think people obsess too much over NSAIDs. My SO is a doc and he doesn't think I should worry as long as I don't go overboard.
