How's my stomach? FAT! LOL!
Serious: I make sure to take my meds with food so I don't have stomach problems. When I was first diagnosed with R/A my R-Factor was 289. I was put on Prednasone and Methothrexate. The Methothrexate did not play nice with my heart meds and I spent 2 days in the heart floor of the hospital. Now I take Prednasone with Sulfazine EC to treat the R/A, and Naproxen with Tylenol twice a day to keep the pain in check.
Naproxen WITH TYLENOL? Hmmm.....I have NO R-factor....so, what mine is, although called R/A....is suspect. I'm dreaming of a day without pain, and without drugs. That day WILL come.....it's just that the mystery has yet to be solved. My Rheumy doc actually gave me some stomach meds WHEN he gave me the Naproxen....saying "You WILL need these." How long have you been on the Naproxen?
