Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Jan, I don't know about either of those medications, but I have seen some post here about Lyrica. I cetainly would look for a doctor that I was comfortable with. You must have trust in your doctor and feel that they have your best interest involved.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Jan and group; Hon I am so sorry your doctor acted cold.. What an aweful way to treat a patient.. I don't blame you,,, go and get you a different RA doctor,,, good for you... In the mean time hon go ahead and take the mobic and lyrcia... Lyrca takes my fibro completely away and he will never know... He will know that you picked up on his attitude... since your not comeing back... You will feel good and just show your new doctor the lyrcia and how good it makes you feel... It will make your fibro feel so much better... You have every right to the medicine,,, That RA doctor was not a profecional for treating you that way... A new RA can diagnose and retreat you and he/she can decide what approach he/she will take with your conditions.. He/she will decide to continue the lyrcia and mobic or not... You must get an RA doctor in the next 6 months if you continue the lyrcia cause he/she will have to take blood test and have you take eye exams since your taking lyrcia if you dicide to take the meds.. If you notice any vision changes or nausea discontinue the meds emmidiately... The choice is up to you I am only thinking of your feelings I am so very very sorry for the idiot that hurt you so deeply... I am concerned about you being in pain till you see your next RA doctor.. This is only my opinion and I care very much for your well being.. God bless and take care. gentle kind hugs Clora > > Hi > I did went to Rheumatoid Arthritis doctor last Tuesday (Sept 30)...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi Jan, If your not happy with your rheumy doctor, you should find another one. You should always feel comfortable with your doctor. I just want to let you know, I take Neruontin which is like the sister med of Lyrica. It also has a side effect of weight gain. I have not gained weight from the med. It might make you have a bigger appetite, but you can control that with better foods. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and so by snacking on good stuff, isn't going to cause weight gain. I do need my med for my pain, so it would be worth it, even if I did gain weight. I am on Naproxen, which is a NSAID like Mobic. It helps with pain and inflammation. I have problems with my elbow, and taking the Naproxen helps so much. When I don't take the med, I can't even pick up my drinking glass, the horrible pain in my elbow comes back. Where do you live? I'm hoping someone can help you find a doc in your area, if your not happy. Just remember, none of us want to take these meds, they all have side effects. We have a choice, you just have to make the better one for you. Keep us posted, Tawny > > > Hi > I did went to Rheumatoid Arthritis doctor last Tuesday (Sept 30)...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Jan, Neither of those drugs really treat the RA. They are not DMARDS. Mobic is an anti- inflammatory and Lyrica is usually used for Fibromyalgia. Find another doctor. > > > Hi > I did went to Rheumatoid Arthritis doctor last Tuesday (Sept 30)...
