Re: New to Etodolac / Lodine

[Guest guest]

I started taking Etodolac a few months ago and it's made a huge difference

for me. My past Rummy took me off all anti-inflammatories because my blood

test showed a point higher than 'normal'! Now, I still have pain but nothing

like what i've had before. Over the past 16 years I've found only one that

worked at all, Clinoril, and it's not as good as Lodine. I'm taking 500 mg

twice a day and have to take Prilosec OTC to keep my stomach under control.

You're luckier than those of us that have had it for many years because now

there are new drugs that can control the RA better and as long as you caught

it in time, you won't do the damage we have done to our bodies. At least

that's what I hope for you.
