Type 2 runs in my family.  But i'm also on a couple of meds, some of which have some internet-y links to type 2.  You know what I mean, the kind of link that a non-medically-trained person like me can find by googling things, but of course is not necessarily trustworthy.

So I thought I'd ask here.  Celebrex, Methotrexate, Stelara.  Up until I started Stelara nine months ago, I was on Humira for two years.

I am NOT looking for excuses or trying to avoid any personal responsibility; I'm certainly looking hard at my diet and exercise and all other possible factors.  But I am getting conflicting info from the rheumatologist and my family doctor.  I have long been uneasy about the former's seemingly offhand  dismissal of my concerns about taking daily Celebrex indefinitely (it's been three years) when she says "well, it's owrking, so stay on it, and if complication arise, we'll deal with them."  My family doctor, who diagnosed the type 2 and put me on Metformin, says the Celebrex could be a factor, if not the sole cause, and suggests that I discontinue it.

But if I stop the Celebrex now, a week after starting Metformin, I've changed two variables at once, how will I know which one is working?  And will the inflammation that always returns when I stop Celebrex have a negative effect on the type 2?  We're talking severe inflammation here, like, can't open or close my hands without the Celebrex.  That level of inflammation isn't going to help anything.

I do need to treat my rheumatoid arthritis, but if there's a connection here, I'd like to renew my efforts to control the inflammation in other ways.  

Any thoughts on those specific meds?
