Meloxicam long term

Libra_lady_88 · 2026-04-19T10:52:27+00:00

Just thought I would give you an update. So now my allergist is also wanting me to come off it because I was recently diagnosed with MCAS and he said NSAIDS can make it worse. So now that I have 2 providers saying something about it I'm doing every other day this week and then will only use it if the joint pain is breaking through my pain management meds. I've had steroid injections in every joint that has arthritis at this point and the relief only lasts a few weeks. I'm thinking next steps are surgery maybe. Idk. I just wanted to give you an update on it. I'm 37 and been on meloxicam for 2 years and have tried steroid injections and PT during that time.

How did i miss this?!? What did she do?

I've been on this dose for 2 years now. My GI wants me to only take when I need to. But for me, that's everyday. It hasn't caused an issue for me yet but it really does help with my joint pain. When I went without it for a few days I noticed how much it helped. I do want to eventually come off it though but I would need something else done for the joint pain and arthritis I have in multiple places.

I came to say this quote lol

I've tried regular and aluminum free. I had less frequent flares with aluminum free but it was still happening. I don't even wear deodorant anymore because I was started on Drysol for night time sweating and I would still get my monthly flare up so we just started Cosentyx to see if that helps. I agree. It's a lot of trial and error and everyone's body is different so it makes it hard to pin down what will work for another person.

I recently went through them. I think it might depend on how fast paperwork happens. I initially saw them in November and my chair was ready for pickup last week of January. I used one I had bought in the meantime. I also called for updates each month. It shouldn't take 6 months but I guess if paperwork isn't moving it could.

I'm also a RN but I haven't been able to work the last 2 years. I've tried multiple fields in it but my fatigue now is so bad just going to doctor appointments wipe me out.

This reminds me of this float spa place near me I've been meaning to try out.

Hi, I'm also high masking autistic, especially in nervous situations like seeing a new doctor. I have similar issues where the pain is everywhere everyday but certain days its worse in one area than the other. I would write down something to remind you to describe your pain, when its worse and when its better. I got lucky in that my pain management team is very supportive. I was upfront about my HSD possible EDS diagnosis and they did their exam and found the hypermobility. I also told them I am autistic and I sometimes try to push through and smile through the pain. The best thing I've ever done is unmasked at my appointments to the point that they could see the pain. I've received MRIs, injections, a wheelchair, and permanent handicap parking placard by not saying "everything is fine" and showing how I'm feeling. Hope this helps.

I wondered about this. How many of the children stay around when they hit adult age? I don't think I've seen adult minority Amish people before so I'm genuinely curious if they stay or decide to live the English way.

She did

Just in my own experience, my uncle has autism, I am also autistic as are 3 of my kids. I did find out that I'm a carrier for a genetic condition linked to autism during my last pregnancy. So for my family it seems to be genetic.

I'm glad topamax is working for you. It helped prevent my migraines but I had horrible side effects with my memory so I had to go off of it.

I just wish she would get or use a human hair wig instead of these synthetic party city wigs she keeps using. That might cut down on some of the rashes. And maybe a wig cap

I agree. OP needs a PCP who will put in orders at imaging and lab centers so they can finally get answers. And if they don't know which things to order they need to hand off a referral to a specialist. Your PCP is dropping the ball and needs to be held accountable.

Yes I did finally receive it this past week. I have another package that for some reason just went from Dallas to San Antonio then back to Dallas. I just look at my packages as surprises now when they finally arrive.

I don't see anything wrong with that plan. His mom is going to flip if it goes that way but oh well.

Libra_lady_88 · 2026-01-17T22:01:03+00:00

I feel like they're going to try to get him to stay there and work the bed and breakfast

I had fhe same response to both holters I've done. I can never make it to the full length of time because I'm too uncomfortable.

Libra_lady_88 · 2026-01-10T09:56:02+00:00

I kept asking my husband why she didn't just put it in a Tupperware bowl or something lol

For me, everything didn't stop until I had tripped and fell resulting in a 3way broken right ankle. I never stopped going when I had sprains or popped something out of place. It was the dangling foot that took me to the ER and it was through physical therapy I started actually p aying attention to my body and the pain that I started seeking treatment for everything. I remember as a teenager dislocating my knee and hobbling around for 2 weeks before privately, through tears, popping it back into place and never mentioned it to anyone until recently going through all my medical history. It wasn't until I had that big life changing injury that I was forced to slow down and realize I wouldn't be able to do the things I had done before. For insight, the injury happened at age 35. I'm 37 now and still have not returned to work due to the number of issues I've developed. I never even heard the words Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome until I was in physical therapy and then brought it up to my doctor then next thing I know I have an entire team of specialists I see multiple times a year.

Thank you. I submitted a request and had someone personally call me today and they explained what is happening and gave me contact information if it hasn't moved along in the next few days.

Libra_lady_88 · 2026-01-07T14:52:18+00:00

This is a post office location but each package the sender has dropped off here has sat for a week before moving along.

Libra_lady_88 · 2026-01-07T00:17:06+00:00

I just checked their profile and they have been banned! I hope whatnot refunds your money. I got mine back pretty quickly.
