Experiences with

Celebrex

I've had RA since 2009 but I didn't start to get any real symptom control until late 2012 when I was put on the combo of injected MTX 20mg and Leflunomide 10mg with Celebrex 400mg. My jaw, ankles and feet are in bad shape - extensive joint erosions shown on MRI scans.

At the moment I also am taking Celebrex 200 mg 1 x per day morning and evening, for inflammation in my joints. I have disc and facet joint problems as well as RLS and PLMD, with muscular and joint problems, possible sjogrens as well. Thanks, I hope you are as well as possible, Cazx

I take azathioprine, hydroxychloroquine, prednisolone, morpheine, pregabalin, celebrex and others. Could it be to do with those or is it the lupus? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Jenny x

has anyone who is on here specifically for pudendal nerve entrapment,ever tried something named celebrex???

I take 6 500mg tablets of Sulphazadine every day with 2 celebrex also, this has never been changed throughout the 9yrs. Usually I get the aches or odd days especially in winter time when I struggle, however 10.5 weeks ago a flare up occurred.

Anyway Ive been in quite some pain unable to sleep at night etc....the doctor has prescribed celebrex 200mg & omeprazole 20mg. The question is am I to take these everyday or when Im in pain?

hi help required ive had ra for 10 weeks now on celebrex tramodol paracetomal had a steroid injection going on mtx in september had couple of flare ups few days ago this morning my neck has got a rash and itchy just below my adams apple also my physio pherapist has ask me to do swimming and cardio so

Can't say I'm happy with the Celebrex. Can't take DMARDS because of my lungs and side effects I have. I know it's not going to cure anything, but I do feel I am doing something to help myself and didn't come out with a load of crap pills. XXX

I am lots of pills but had no diagnosis - amatriptayline, gabapentin, celebrex, co-codamol and tramadol. Does anyone have any idea of what is going on?

I am now on my 4th anti TNF and have been on oral steroids and celebrex for over 20 years.

I am now on my third week low dose MTX 7.5 working way up to more mgs, I seems to me that my Fbro has just gone absolutely Mad in the past week, and the pain is excruciating I take plenty of pain meds for the RA and also have been taking Hydroxy as well as Celebrex and More, I take 12 hour extended

I am on infliximab, steroids (long term - over 10 years) anti inflams - celebrex can any of these be causing light sensitivity?

Eventually I managed to find a wonder anti inflammatory, VIOXX, this was short lived and withdrawn to be replaced by CELEBREX. This was also withdrawn and I ended up taking nothing as i was intolerant to anything but COX 2 inhibitors. My pupil eventually unstuck itself three years later.

Within another couple of months I was back having some serious flare-ups again and my GP put me on Prednisolone together with another prescription of Celebrex. I was miserable again. My natural soloution had deserted me.

I have been on Prednisolone/Celebrex & folic acid for 18 months now ...then 4 months ago he gave me Hydroxychloquine......... now says that I have to cut down on steroids now down to 4mg daily and next month cut down on the Dmard drug ... but already 2 weeks in ..I have no energy ..cannot walk a great

Saw my Rheumy this week and she's suggested an increase in mtx to try to prevent any more flares and to start on Celebrex to help with the excruciating pain in my back... I've never heard of Celebrex and google is proving scary! Are any of you taking it or tried it? Any side effects?

So now after causing problems this morning, I have had my increase to 20mg mtx confirmed (and not 17.5mg as previously suggested) and just have to wait until I can start that and the Celebrex.

I do not feel ill, but am taking Celebrex for my arthritis, which can mask a fever, so didn't have a very high temperature even when my chest felt awful. I have mild bronchiectasis as well as the asthma, but normally the gunk is controlled with my daily meds. Any ideas?

My list of meds is Salbutamol, salmeterol, tiotropium, loratedine, nasonex, sodium crom eye drops, celebrex, amitriptyline, paracetamol, oestrogel. Any thoughts? Kathy

Hi Everyone Please can anyone who takes either of the above drugs tell me if they have developed very cold feet, similar to Raynauds? Thanks Kathy
