Kokstad, ZA

Hi. I am on the following meds
5mg prednisone
20mg rheumalef
25mg methrotrexate
Plasniquine 200mg
Celebrex 200mg
The hot flushes are unbearable especially after taking the rheumalef and the insomnia. Please I would love some advice. Thank you

I have been on Celebrex for a year now with no problems. It was a lifesaver for me I wasn’t able to do anything, helped so much with pain and inflammation. I’m only on 60 mg.

Quit taking the Celebrex! I know of two people that I was close to that took that weaken their heart neither of them are with me today. I also heard they had a law suit , can't confirm that but I just passing info, discuss it with your doctor.

I was having alot of issues wirh aweating and have adjusted my Duloxitine dose ( doc advice) and now minimal sweating. Insomnia is daily battle but taking Vitamin E now has helped and have gotten away from taking the ambien. Talk tour symptoms out with your dox everyone wants to say menopause but that is not necessarily the issue.

Me too. When I was taking Prednisone my face would get bright red suddenly. Then came the heat. I’d throw the covers off me at night then wake up later freezing. If the RA doesn’t get you the meds will.
