You are most welcome Shamae!!!
Absolutely ask him if he feels Celecoxib could be helpful!
I will tell you that my husband is not one to complain to our Dr but his hands hurt him so bad. He does not have RA but his fingers are deformed and he has a lot of inflammation.
Our last Dr visit I mentioned this to his shock! Lol! Anyway I suggested perhaps Celecoxib might help??? Dr agreed and Brad's been taking it a few weeks and he has thanked me more than once for suggesting it. He feels it really is helping!
I hope this helps you some!
Ok thanks! That's helpful @A myRAteam Member!
Three flares in a month definitely sounds frustrating and worth discussing with your rheumatologist. Sometimes biologics can become less effective over time, but flares can also happen because of stress, illness, inflammation triggers, or changes in disease activity. A lot of people notice more frequent pain, stiffness, or shorter relief between doses when a medication is not working as well anymore.
Best of Luck Shamae!!! Let us know how it goes please!!
