Naproxen and Lansoprazole

[M-o-ggy]

Hi all. After a post on here I have stopped taking Lansoprazole which also means I have to stop Naproxen.

Initially I have become less tired and feel brighter which is good.

The problem is that each day my muscles and joints are becoming more sore and less trustworthy.

Have tried carbocystine instead of NAC and found that it dries my eyes which is not helpful.

Any ideas on what I can take instead. I have a Dr appointment in 10 days time to discuss this.

My temperature this morning is 37.2 in the right ear and 36.8 in the left ear which I am supposed to 'keep and eye one' whatever that might mean .

What is this temperature story? Sounds interesting...

No idea other than one ear gives a diff reading to the other. ATM it is left ear is 37.1 and right ear is 37.3 which apparently is ok. A greater difference needs keeping an eye on. What a silly thing to tell me.

I am a poor patient as my default setting is that I expect to be told I do not expect to ask.

But then I find the medics to be odd. For example I hurt myself quite badly and after a couple of months I went to Dr. Damage was observable one Dr told a complete lie which derailed me until my one son told me to get it sorted'. So back I go. Had a private referral. Shortly after a repeat Dr appointment a problem developed and I couldn't swallow at all. Dr said get an emergency appointment, nurses gave me an appointment for 5 days later. When I saw the Dr he told me off for waiting so long !?

Yet on other occasions I mention that I feel tired and I have blood tests a examinations Same when I happened to cough ( once as I remember). The blood tests are all normal There are quite a smattering of red flags on the screen quite a few of the blood tests results are only just within 'average' .

Then I find that I had a blood oxygen of 93% and I should keep an eye on it.

Retrospectively that was COVID.

They ask me how I feel ! I have PD what can I say. I don't have an answer. Perhaps go through the long list of my symptoms again.

They don't seem to understand the detrimental effect of Dr visits and I don't understand why somethings elicit instant responses and other things which I find difficult and that strongly impact on my life just gets ' keep an eye on it's response.

Anyway. End of grumbling. I am to keep an eye on the temp readings.

As mentioned in my original post I stopped taking Naproxen at the same time as the Lansoprazole,made an appointment with the Dr The worn out, tiredness has gone. In myself I feel quite good until I move. Then the soreness in the shoulders, hips, ankles, the right jaw the left thumb joints have increased to the point where I can not always trust my leg joints to hold. I have now been given Famotidine to go with the Naproxen starting Monday evening. Tuesday was ok Yesterday and today I can suddenly lose balance.This evening I read the leaflet and it seems that this can be side effect of Famotidine I was diagnosed with Frontal lobe Epilepsy years ago but don't have medication for it so should I be concerned about Epilepsy as a poss side effect.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.
