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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
