To date I hvae been on three medications for my headaches (meloxicam, zomig and propranolol) but nothing seems to help. My headache has lasted for a month straight but it seems to be getting worse. My family doctor seems to think that I have sinus, tension and migraine headaches. The pain and sensitivity to light has become so bad that I have to sit in a dark and not move all night after a day at school. The pain is mainly behind my eye and on my nose bridge, then it spreeds to my forehead.
Could be migraines. Does it throb right behind your left eye??? I've had migraines for years (comes with having 4 kids I think-ha); the only meds that help relieve most of the pain are Zomig (really expensive, but no generic version yet) and Meloxicam (generic for Mobic) - both pills taken together usually decrease pain within an hour or two. Hope this helps. My doc also suggested Imitrex when I can't afford the Zomig anymore.
Since lupus can affect the internal organs, I would take her to see another rheumie until you find one that will try something other than or in addition to an NSAID like meloxicam. (I also take meloxicam, but in conjunction with three other meds for RA that go after the disease process itself, not just treating the symptoms like meloxicam alone).
Blood work is only one of many diagnostic tools, not the yes-or-no definitive answer.
for restless legs, try stretching your hamstrings for a few minutes several times a day, esp before bed. otherwise, try a nsaid like meloxicam for the other symptoms in case of swelling around irritated nerve roots in your neck and back. Your doctor may be able to give you a free sample of a meloxicam, a Celebrex...assuming you've already tried all the weak over-the-counter stuff.
My neurologist did not tell me what medications of the 9 he just prescribed for me that I could take together and that I couldn't take together. I took Meloxicam this morning for my "mild" headache, but over the course of the day my headache has gotten severly worse. I took what my notes said to do for my "migraines" and took Cambia...I just researched that these two things are not supposed to be taken together...am I in big trouble?
Hi there! I was just prescribed meloxicam 15mg for arthritis along with prilosec for acid reflux. I was wondering if you could tell me if meloxicam would be better for pain relief compared to 800mg ibuprofen. Also does it take time for meloxicam to build up in my body for maximum benefit? If so, how long does it take? Thanks very much!
I went to the doctor for some issues that I had been having and decided to reach out to my doctor for help getting off these bad boys. He perscribed Meloxicam to help with some the withdrawal symptons. I have to say this stuff, which is just an anit inflammatory will helps with the symptons. It eleminates the hot, flush feeling which is most annoying. It really does help. Just wondering if it's all in my head or has anyone actually heard of this?
Thanks.
I've been on that medication for many years and have had no side effects. It's been very helpful for my condition (severe tibial tendonitis).
What can I do or stop doing to return to normal? I have stopped taking my pain pills for my back problem (Meloxicam and Tramadol) and only take my blood pressure and thyroid meds. Stopped taking vitamins and supplements too (one-a-day, B-150, chromium picolinate) but have to take Melatonin, D3 and calcium to help me sleep most nights if I haven't taken the Maxalt.
I have gained a considerable amount of weight will taking Meloxicam. Once I stop taking will the weight come off??
But now, in addition to pain, I will be paranoid the next time I need to go to my ER for relief. I have been to the ER numerous times, once for migraines (I asked for and recieved a non-narcotic medicine and followed up with my physician to get a prescription for this same drug...It works for me) All other visits have been to same ER for stones. I have gotten a CT each time and I always have had stones visible and always a different #.
