I have moderate RA and am on Plaquenil and naproxen, methotrexate did nothing and Arava made me so bad they had to put me on high dose steroids for six weeks to get me back to normal, when I have a flare up I actually take Midol Complete, I asked my pharmacist why that worked so well and she said it was because one of the ingredients is actually an anti inflammatory.
Thank you for this info.
I have been on Plaquenil for almost 2 years now and I take naproxen twice daily. the anti-inflammatory's are a no-no for me due to my gastric bypass surgery because they are so hard on the stomach. I go back Friday to talk to my specialist and I am loaded with tons of questions because of all you wonderful peeps sharing with me!
