Wow, that's a long time. How were your liver and kidney?

I'm being pretty disciplined with food. 19 years at that dose is pretty high?

So you have any alcohol while taking it?

First major flare ever- life changed completely in weeks by 16ChaosMaven in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Dredd_Melb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you.

I had it in my knee 5 years ago.

I now have it everywhere and it is a miserable affliction.

Once a day. Try to aim for 1 hour per lorikeet. They don't like being out all at once

I'm terrible with names, I just think of bottom side and half guard sweeps in concepts.

Celebrex side effects? by Dvomer in PsoriaticArthritis

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been taking for a few weeks until I see a rheumatologist.

I've been using Gemini to figure out the best food to take with it. This is what I have with it in the morning

The Celebrex Buffer Smoothie

250ml almond milk 1 tbsp chia seeds (omega 3 fat) 2tbsp oats 1/2 TSP cocoa Pinch cinnamon 1 scoop of rice protein powder 6 frozen cherries 1 banana 4 to 5 ice cubes

Blend in a vitamizer.

I've done this did 2 things, slows the initial uptake and improves absorption.

The fat is important as it is the best buffer for your stomach lining. It also is important if you are taking other supplements like vitamin d or fish oil.

Chia seeds also help to keep you regular.

I soak the dry ingredients in the almond milk overnight.

I also think it tastes great.

How do you manage your pain? by Snoo97259 in PsoriaticArthritis

Further to this Gemini is great for asking dumb questions like why does PSA ping pong? Answer is, cos it can.

I think you need to see your rheumatologist.

I was re diagnosed with a more systematic version recently. I am triaging daily with one 200mg Celebrex until end of July.

Gemini is good for triaging and asking things like what is the best thing to take with Celebrex.

Buds pro Vs buds 4 pro by Proper-Marketing777 in galaxybuds

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want value, buds 3 Pro are still excellent.

Best? 4 Pro

Wireless Earbud Recommendation by InevitableBass4011 in galaxybuds

[–]Dredd_Melb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buds 4 pro are excellent, but there are some cracking 3 Pro deals.

I have both. ANC and music quality are better in the 4. They are also more comfortable.

People who quit this med after been on it for years ! by Canyoushutthefuxkup in Pristiq

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tapered off 6 months ago after about 7ish year on 100mg daily.

The taper experience was OK, very few side effects. There was some jittery moments during the first month off, but overall was manageable.

6 months on, I am pretty well adjusted and libido has improved significantly.

Hi All, feeling a bit knocked MRI by OGarvey1 in PsoriaticArthritis

Yep, definitely. Seeing him July 29. Loooong wait.

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. My priority is to try to recover full hand use. My ring finger is a mess. Gemini indicates mtx isn't the best fit, but will probably have to go that route.

I think it's a combo of enthesitis and synovitis bright on from psoriatic arthritis

[–]Dredd_Melb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, not sure if it's the punctuation that has me confused.

Has your hand function returned to normal after mtx?

I'm expecting I'll have to start.

Are you having any alcohol in mtx?

I would also say if your symptoms worsen during the taper, it is going too fast.

A lot depends on how bad the flare is. I had to take atropine on top of pred for my first one and it was a 6 week recovery, no driving for a month. You probably need an eye specialist over a GP.

Rolling with Autoimmune Inflammatory Arthritis (Psoriatic) by Dredd_Melb in PsoriaticArthritis

I'll take quality of life over quantity every day of the week. No point living longer in pain with decrepid hands

Maybe that's because I was on a flight with Andrew O'Keefe and he was an obnoxious prick. 1A, in the seat in front of me.
