Question:
NSAIDs don’t stop the damage. In the recent issue of Arthritis Today, a RD’s wife was trying to save her hip. She took glucosamine and vit c. She did have to have the hip replaced. Just passing the info along Nicole — Someone you know has lupus. Help find the cure. www.lupus.org "Stephanie Townsend" <ler…@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote in message

Under side effects it (Mobid) did have "edema" mentioned. this one does not mention edema http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic3/sulindac_ad.htm However, it mentions rash and itching. (which I did not get) I remember now, I was getting headaches, but everyone’s different.. Hugs J
Response:
With one of the side effects being sensitive to the sun, I wouldn’t imagine giving it to someone with lupus as you already have potential to have that problem with out the medication…JMO as I don’t have lupus and I am not a doctor….Just me rambling Hugs Cindy <LR…@webtv.net> wrote in message

Do you keep notes? <g> Great memory maggie ! I’ve never tried celebrex or bextra but couldn’t tolerate Vioxx. I have osteoarthritis throughout the body but shoulder joints are the worst. So Mobic at 7.5 or maybe a bit more, takes the edge off but as soon as I try to increase the dose, reflux (GERD) gets worse and I see that mentioned on your website above. The ones I have are http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic3/mobic_ad.htm and http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic3/sulindac_ad.htm Sulindac I had high hopes for that one but it too at maximum daily dose barely took the edge off. I hope that madison has better luck than me. the eyes..well it happened once soon after stopping the Sulindac so I concluded that it wasn’t the meds and the eye doctor says it’s probably not the meds (but he never looked them up). he thinks it’s aging and/or combo of my wrong multi-vitamin. Strangely the same thing has not happened since I stopped the meds, so I don’t know. I will pop one or the other or both when I get desperate for any type of relief. There might have been another problem with Sulindac, but I don’t have my notes handy, and I don’t want to put ideas into madison’s head. Jinx her. Will watch with interest and hope she gets some relief Hugs Maggie J

I was prescribed mobic awhile ago — but I did not see results. However, none of the drugs such as Vioxx, Celebrex or Bextra have helped with my pain. I do know that the drug came very highly recommended to me. I hope it works for you! It did not upset my stomach though — so maybe it will be good for you. Keep us updated.

i was just rx’d mobic for osteo athritis in my hip. i can’t take celebrex or bextra and won’t take vioxx (two people i know i very strange behavior – even for them – while on vioxx so i’ll pass) so the rheumie says this is the next best. he started me out on 7.5 mg to see if i can tolerate it without stomach problems (EVERYthing upsets my stomach!). does this stuff work? he said that if we don’t stop the deterioration in this hip i’m facing a hip replacement in 5 years! any comments on mobic? thanks in advance. madison in nh
Response:
My husband and I have taken mobic. It does pretty good once you have it in your system for a while. Takes a few days. It has never bothered my stomach. But just to be safe I would take it with food. My problem is my insurance will not pay for it. I have to get samples from the kind doctor. Insurance companies are a pain! Paulette Ethyl Mermaid <LR…@webtv.net> wrote in message

Response:
thanks for the reply. i have three weeks’ worth of samples but just mailed in my rx. don’t know if my insurance will give me a hard time or not. i was told at least three weeks before i notice any improvement and may not on this dose. time will tell…..madison
Response:
HI Madison! Here’s some info on Mobic. I know J took this & stopped. I believe it was affecting her eyes? She will likely respond & let you know. I hope it works for you though & I hope the insurance covers it. Good luck! Maggie http://www.drugstore.com/pharmacy/prices/drugprice.asp?ndc=0059700290…
