Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi all. I am a 75yo male and have had RA for a while but it is progressing to the point where it is greatly affecting my QOL. It is in my neck (where it started), shoulders, hip saddle, hands and feet now. It is becoming a severe aggravation in the morning getting out of bed but seems to abate with activity. Any heavy exertion, lifting, getting up and down from the floor, etc, is almost impossible. I take 200mg of Celebrex twice a day for the pain but no other n-saids. I have found that the otc meds have little efficiacy for me. I wasted a lot of money on Glucosamine/Chondroitin over the years and no longer take it. Mostly because it has been shown to stimulate tumor activity and I have PCa. I did not realize it was not helping me until I stopped taking it and nothing happened. :-) Looking forward to meeting all of you. 2463 " il faut d'abord durer " Hemingway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
