do you find your appetite has changed or food effects you? i completely lost any interest in food at first, that was when i was on methotrexate tablets, since changing to the injections im better but not great, maybe look into different forms of your medication. tablets are harsh though, hope you feel better soon.

I just started taking Celebrex and my stomach is rebelling like crazy. I do make sure I'm eating and drinking fluids. Yesterday I was feeling realy dizzy & nauseous laid down and conked out. I didn't take one last night but my stomach is still a mess but I don't feel so 'out' of it.

I am going to ask my doc for a prescription called Prevacid. I hear it helps with stomach upset.

Had a nausiating upset tummy day myself.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
