Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 For rheumatoid arthritis: Naproxen and Plaquenil. For fibromyalgia: Flexeril and Elavil (low dose of each) at bedtime For chronic pain: extended-release morphine For breakthrough pain: oxycodone I want to mention that for nearly two years I have been taking Singulair for my allergies. During this time my RA has been unusually quiet! Since Singulair works on one of the components of the immune system (leukotrienes), I suspect that it is the reason my RA is unusually mild. If anyone else out there is taking Singulair, is it helping your arthritis? Nina > I WAS WONDERING, WHAT KIND OF MEDICATIONS > YOU TAKE NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND SHARING. I TAKE ULTRACET, NEURONTIN, > METHOTREXATE INJECTIONS, AND I DID A HIDEOUS YEAR ON PREDNISONE.
