Yes the cold weather is really rough on the arthritis and inflammation. I've been using Salonpas patches and they really give me relief at night while I sleep...have you tried those? Have a blessed day πŸ™πŸ’œ

I took it briefly, but even with food I couldn't stomach it.

I take Celebrex, very similar to Mobic. Be careful to take with food to avoid stomach upset. I believe it did help. But with the increase in joint pain thru the years, additional medicines had to be added. Now the joint pain mixes in with the Lupus symptoms making it hard to know which is which. Throw in neuropathy, not due to diabetes, and it just makes for a big mess. But it is under more control now than previously with plaquenil and methotrexate, healthy eating, and stopping instead of pushing thru daily activities. Good luck with the Mobic and keep us posted.
