Hi Anne I have taken Naproxen for many years on and off and found them invaluable in helping with inflammation. At the moment I'm on 500mg twice daily (waiting for Leflonomide to kick in!) and must admit I do rely on them despite being on Enbrel too! They are one of the only anti inflammatories to have worked for me, despite trying so many, but they have worked almost immediately. You will need to take a stomach protector such as Omeprazole with them, drink plenty of water and take on an empty stomach for best effect! Hope they work well for you  Lyn x

Hello Anne, I too have found them very good at the higher dose. I can no longer take them because they are not suitable for anyone at risk of heart attack or stroke. Glenys.

Hi Annie, I took them for 2 years and they worked wonderfully. Unfortunately had to stop taking them as got high blood pressure due to other reasons. Definitely worth a try.
