Hello, I was prescribed celebrex recently. I think it helps a bit for inflammation. I did notice a tightness almost swelling in my feet and hands when I take it. Of course I react to medicine strangely. I went back to taking Tylenol. It doesn’t take the pain completely away at all…it takes the edge off. I wish there was a perfect solution for all of us suffering from Lupus! It’s a strange and painful disease!

Celebrex does not work for me, but melixicam helps a lot. I only take meds that i know work. I do take coq10 and ive been testing off and on to see if it works for me and have decided that it does help with muscle pain. I sm not able to take neurontin.

I use full spectrum cbd oil under the tongue. It does not help pain but helps with anxiety that comes when pain starts increasing and also helps with depression.

I just purchased some tart Cherry capsules, 3000mg a capsule. Going to try 1 a day. Also purchased some CBD sublingual, that a gentlemen that was on 5 mg of prednisone for 3 yrs that also has RA stated it helped with pain and inflammation and help him get off of prednisone. We shall see

Cymbalta will take about 3-4weeks to reach a good level and then you should feel relief. Took it for years but went on Medicare and co-pay sucked
