Arthritis Forums (Page 50)

I have Vasculitis and Lupus, therefore, I take a combination of the meds I listed, I have scripts for those required and OTC for the benadryl (200mg.sometimes more if needed during the night) and Aleve (440mg when needed). I tested positive for Benzo. Could any of these or a combination have caused a false positive for an instant ur test ? ## What are the side effects of taking Benadryl with meloxicam? Is it safe to take them together?

Today is day 3. Haven't had any reactions or any listed side effects but I know over time drugs build up and can then cause trouble. Anyone have any advice? I'm a type II Diabetic that takes (Lantus long acting Insulin at night). ## Hi Peter, It's good to hear that you have experienced any side effects thus far. Unfortunately there's no way to know what's going to happen, until it happens. That's just the nature of many medications these days. I would just take note of how you're feeling right now- and if you experience any changes in your mood or overall well being, write down exactly what you're feeling. By doing so you'll be able to track any changes that might occur, just in case the medication does start to create problems. You can learn more abo...

I took mobic for back pain due to herniated disc and it worked great. I was able to move and work. It also helped the psoriatic arthritis that I had. It enabled me to move my fingers. The only problem is my liver function tests elevated so Now I have to stop it. I wish they could make a medication with the benefits, but without all of the risk of side effects. ## Unfortunately, that's not likely to ever happen, because such is the very nature and risks associated with adding a chemical to the human body to try to achieve some desired result. Our bodies react to everything, even the addition of a cup of coffee with certain side effects, some are just more harsh and dangerous than others when it comes to adding foreign substances. What you really have to do is try various medications ...

What is articulitis ## It is a condition very similar to arthritis, in which the joints of your body become inflamed and painful. It's a term not commonly used anymore, most doctors just lump everything as arthritis, since they are so similar and the treatments are basically the same. Are there any other questions I can help with?

We have discovered a capsule called ReNu-Yu that gives the same relief from all the symptoms that Beline seems to but also has the benefit of having a vegetable derived capsule. Apparently there is some doubt about BSE (mad cow disease) in the bovine derived Beline capsules? My wife began taking ReNuYu in May 2012 & remarkably was free of pain almost immediately & certainly within hours of taking them on the first day! In 102 days she has only had to take 42 caps to remain pain free. Frankly amazing. What's more they only cost £15 GBP + £2.50 p&p. They arrived within a couple of days of ordering & still give a money back guarantee. Our friends have been ordering them too & have all had the same experience. The website, based in the U.S, states they cost...

Can anyone tell me what the US equivalent to Enantyum would be. I had dental surgery in Guatemala and was given 25mg tablets but running out. I'm hoping not to need them but want to keep my options open. ## Hi Jackie, Based on my research, Enantyum contains Dexketoprofen. I've read that ketoprofen would most likely be the equivalent in US. Ketoprofen is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ketoprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Ketoprofen Details I hope this helps!

try when you take celebra to eat only fruits and it will work well for 2 weeks ## From what I could gather, Celebra (Celecoxib) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used primarily for acute pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other minor injuries. I can only imagine that eating a diet of only fruit would be of great benefit to your body's ability to heal quicker. With the added health benefits and anti-inflammatory response of various fruits, I think this is a great adjunct therapy to any sort of condition or ailment that one may be facing. I've been on a fruit-only diet numerous times and still do it quite often, because of how great it makes me feel on the inside-out. More people should become aware that fruit and veggies are also another means of ...

Had migraine for 20y+, 3-4 attacks pm. Received a tip to take Arthrexin ,1 daily. No more migraine ! Seven months down the line. It's working like a charm ! But I want to know why ? It really changed my life ! Anyone out there had the same ecperience ? ## From what I could gather, Arthrexin (Indomethacin) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used as a prescription medication to reduce fever, pain, stiffness, and swelling. It has also been shown to be effective in migraine, both for prevention of migraine as well as treating the acute migraine attack. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, molecules known to cause these symptoms. This pharmacology may be what's attributing to the success of this medication. I've also come across several...
