 I have and it didn't help a bit.  I continued taking
 it until I read that there is a possibility that it
 may be a cause of prostate cancer.

 I was diagnosed in 1977 with AS and was on Indocin 3x50
 daily until 2000.  Never had a bit of trouble.  Switched
 RD's and we tried Celebrex (no help), Vioxx (no help),
 Flexeril (hideous rashes and cracked skin), and most
 recently Ultracet (intolerable itching).  Now I'm back
 to Tyenol T3 up to 6 a day.  The RD's talking about
 Emberel(sp) now that the short supply is over.
