Axert and Celebrex

Got an e-mail today from someone I don't know regarding CH. His (could be her) e-mail implied this person is either a doc or wants to appear to be one. E-mail had "MD" in the address.
Typical story, ch, alot of drugs, nothing worked, etc. Until he/she found axert and celebrex. I have done some reading on axert so I'm o.k. with that, but celebrex? All I know is that this is arthritis med. I did search this board but found very few references to it. Maybe works for CPH, maybe not.
So, anyone out there ever taken a combo of axert and celebrex? Did it work?
Feedback appreciated!
PFDAN always, Linda T.

Almotriptan malate (Axert / Almogran) is a Triptan with a half-life of 3 to 4 hours and is very similar to Naratriptan (Amerge / Naramig). Both are not kicking in fast enough to be of much use as CH-abortives, but are very useful as a short term preventative, to keep away the nightly attacks.
Celecoxib (Celebrex) is a NSAID (NonSteroidal AntiInflammatory Drug). It is sometimes used instead of Indomethacin (Indocin), when the stomach trouble the later causes are more that can be tolerated.
PFNAD's, Ueli
