Hi guys,
up til a month ago I was taking celebrex with considerable success, but my doc doesn't want to prescribe it any more ( and I not sure I want to take it). She prescribed Arthrotec with a stomach protector instead - well useless is all I can say, and it's given me stomach pains to boot. I'm going back to see her this week, can anyone suggest what I can ask for? I'm in the UK so I can't get any of the biologics. any thoughts would be really helpful....

Hi there
I just noticed you are from Norfolk. So am I just outside Norwich. Its difficult to suggest something in particular as things work different for different people. Maybe we could get in touch with each other?

hi louisa
I see you posted this awile ago you may have sorted this out, arthrotec dose cause stomach probs for aboute 10days then the drug starts to work. I was on arthrotec 50 for about 2yrs then went up to arthrotec 75 this worked for about 12months hope this helps a little
all the best tone............

Hi
I think lately they try out the new cox-2's first, as they are deemed 'safer'.
I had Vioxx first, which made me really ill. Then celebrex, which didnt do anything at all. Lodine worked well, as long as I took it with Ranitidine. Without it, I'd get real bad stomach aches.
Since I've had side effects lately, I've just been given Arthrotec 50mg with the stomach protector. I dont hold much hope of it agreeing with me, but I've got to try. I'm quite put off by stories I've read here and on other websites.
Why do we have to suffer all the side effects just to be rid of this pain and stiffness?
Take care
Sadie
