Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Manfred, I have been on Mobic for about 2 years now at two pills a day. I have had no side affects that I know of and no adverse reactions to taking it. I have 14 perscriptions and it doesn't seem to have any incompatibilities with any of them. My wife is also on Mobic.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Dear Leanne, Dick, Thanks for your input on this. I started taking it a few days ago, in my search for a NSAID that helps, without noticeable side effects, and not being expensive. I'm trying to fight down a tendon inflammation in one leg with it, that just doesn't seem to have any intention of subsiding. The DMARD I'm taking isn't helping against it. So far I have tried indomethacin, ibuprofen, celecoxib and now meloxicam. The first worked reasonably well, but lasted only a few hours per pill and caused me occasional intestinal bleeding. The second one seems to be less effective for me. Celecoxib works moderately well at one capsule per day, and caused no noticeable side effects, but is too expensive for continued use. The meloxicam seems to be about as effective as the others, offering some relief but not full one, with no obvious side effects until now, and being inexpensive. I will try it for some more time, and then try others, on my search of one that actually allows me to tie my shoes and climb stairs without too much pain in the leg nor in the pocket! :-) Manfred. ---------------------------- Visit my hobby website! http://www.qsl.net/xq2fod ---------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably forgot me because I didn't post anything in a long time! But if you look back in the archive, you should find my entire history... Cheers, Manfred. ---------------------------- Visit my hobby website! http://www.qsl.net/xq2fod ---------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hi Manfred, Ooops! Sorry about that. You probably joined before I did. Thing is too I thought about it and even tried to look back in the archives although not in the right way obviously. Mind you, I did say it was a belated welcome. Lol I am actually always meaning to have a good look back in the archives but I only ever seem to have time to read the mail coming in and to answer a few if possible. Maybe in the future eh?
