Hi Ali, I am definately is less pain on the new meds but still adjusting to the

increase in Lyrica. My worse time is when I wake up.This morning I took the

panadol which on its own would not be enough so I took the morning Lyrica then,

away from my other morning meds, relief less pain. I find Celebrex works for me,

however my GP does not want me on it, my rheumo is ok with it. The reason being

I become anaemic every 4 months and have to take iron tabs. A camera endoscopy

revealed small ulcers in my small bowel. I have chosen to take the celebrex,

knowing the risks, being desperate for some kind of pain relief. Hopefully I

will be able to stop the celebrex when they  get the pain under good control. I

have been on Plaquenil since 2003, it helped with the pain but is not enough on

it's own. I get my eyes checked every year. For me heat is the key, I would be

lost without my hot packs. I make my own made to shape to fit the part in pain.

I fill them with

millet as I find it is softer to lie on. I have to watch where I put them now

because of the patches. Heat on the patches can increase the dose of medication

you get. Hope you have a good day.     Bev
