Guest guest Posted January 9, 2000 Report Share Posted January 9, 2000 I already take 300 mg of magnesium per day. I also take 1000 mg calcium [not at the same time as the magnesium]. The day I had the nasty leg cramps I doubled my dose of magnesium and changed my calcium from 600 mg to 1000 mg. I think the calcium made the difference. I can't take any more magnesium or it is like taking Milk of Magnesia. And I don't have that problem. ; ) -- Kiana Rossi bornfree@...

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I went to my PC yesterday, the Mobic wasn't working so she put me on Relafen. Does anyone have anything to say about this prescription? It is for 750 mg. Tomorrow I go to see a new orthopedic doctor, for RA, trigger finger and carpal tunnel...gee is there anything I missed?

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Do NOT take it on an empty stomach. I developed severe reflux while on it and have had major problems ever since. ----- Original Message ----- From: katshapug@...

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 It did not work for me so I was put on celebrex. Now on naproxen instead. If you get carpal tunnel surgery, they have 2 different surgeries they do. One is to cut the carpal tunnel, another is to do a "release" where they stretch it out. I had both hands done with the release. My right hand was done 2 years ago, and the left was done this past October...my hands have been great since...the only flareups are in the fingers. Good luck! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Maggiehttp://www.4HockeyFans.comhttp://www.4FloridaHockey.comMSN: Maggies1429AOL: Maggies85-----Original Message-----From: katshapug@...

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Thanks for the info. I " think " I tried to take this years ago and got awful dizzy while on it...I am going to try it again I think, so if that happens I know that will be on my DO NOT take list.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 I had a terrible reaction one month after I started with Relafen. it gave me hemolitic anemia. Take care and drink lots of fluid while taking this medication. Re: rheumatic Re: minocin vs doxycycline Dr Chiu Hi Sally, Doctors claim that Relafen is one of the best NSAID due to its mild side effects. However, if you need mainly pain relief try BOSWELLIA . NOW make a product called Bosellin which my wife takes for RA pain and it works like a charm. No side effects ! Remember it takes about 2 - 3 weeks to fully become active. Also study BOSWELLIA on remedyfind.com for RA. It has one of highest rating by everybody.
