Hiya and welcome to the forum! It has been my lifesaver for all those niggling questions.

I took myself off Celebrex a while ago, but had real problems with pain and only lasted a week! - however, I wasn't controlled by anything else so was totally relying on the anti-inlammatory and pain killers. I would love to come off them when Humira kicks in, to save my stomach. I expect you are on a stomach protector as well. I HAVE to take mine.

I hope you manage to get a good balance between protecting your stomach and pain relief - it all so tricky and frustrating.

Take care

Hi Jude
I take naproxen i find it is good for me but i only take it as and when, which works for me
I was always a bit anti- tablets until i eventually gave in and realised they could be so helpful......
Definitely ask your doctor about other options, also proton pump inhibitor i would advise an appointment to discuss this, have they mentioned alternatives to you - its so important to get it just right for you and sounds as if u may need an alternative....?
i ALWAYS take mine with or after food and mine are enteric coated (not all of them are) so meds pass through stomach to large intestine before being released.
Hope u get some good advice and support from your doctor
Take care ~ Liz xxxxx

I can't take NSAIDs at all!
Even though I take esomeprazole I can't take them.
I have even had an upset stomach from using ibuprofene gel so have beeen told to avoid them completely.
Hope you can find something that suits you.
