Members shared overwhelmingly positive experiences with Celebrex for managing rheumatoid arthritis pain, with many noting they take it twice daily and feel a noticeable difference when they stop, particularly before surgeries or when attempting to reduce their dosage. Several members emphasized that while all medications carry side effects, the consequences of taking nothing can be far worse, with one member describing going into their biggest flare ever after trying to go medication-free for a month. One member shared a cautionary experience of testing positive for lupus while on Celebrex, which reversed after stopping the medication, encouraging others with similar diagnoses to investigate whether their results might be medication-related.

I use Celebrex, and it does seem to help control the pain. When I had surgeries, I had to go off it for a few weeks.. and felt it!

I was on Celebrex for a long while and I found it very good until I tested positive for Lupus, he said don't worry about it, the medicine is probably causing a false positive so next time I was going to get tested, I went off of Celebrex for 6 weeks prior and lupus test was negative, I worried that if it could change my body chemistry, what else could it change and never touched it again.
This was my experience and meds work different on everyone, but if any of you were diagnosed with Lupus after you got on Celebrex, I would want to find out if that is real!
