RA in REMISSION!

[lilac lass 34]

Doxieville Lilaclass,

Sounds like we have lots of junk in common on this adventure of life. I feel like autoimmune queen. Celiac disease, rosacea, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, RA, and then OA on top. It all sucks. Pain pain! I'm hoping weight loss sends pain for a long exile where I'm concerned. I am keeping it real so far though because I don't have a choice. Lost close to 40lbs since August but no good relief yet.

Also, didn't know Celebrex was safe. Have to consider that. I see my rheumatologist on 1/10 for a checkup so I hope we can make some type of headway until I can take meds or injectables again. Good luck to you both with VSG and Arthur.

Yes, my doctor switched me to Celebrex because I was having sleeve surgery. Also the book they gave me to prep for surgery said it was one of the permitted meds eventually after surgery. So talk to both your RA and WLS doctors before you get the script filled as it is pricey. Celebrex is one of the safer meds. It is a Cox-2 inhibitor and type of NSAID but not exactly like Motrin which is harder on the stomach.
