| 5 | inflammation | some hot flashes when on higher doses | told by my doc to cut back as she thought it could be damaging my kidneys | F | 54 | 16 years | 8/25/2009 | 5 | Inflammatory Arthiritis Pain | The only side effect is upset stomach. I have to eat prior to taking this medicine and right after in order to prevent stomach pain. I noticied that Milk of Magnesia helps to coat the stomach too when taking this drug. | This drug worked better than any OTC drug like Motrin or Ibprofen. | F | 28 | 1 months | 5/20/2009 | 1 | cartilege inflammation | triggered a kidney ailment that caused protein loss. i was very ill and required 2 years of steroid therapy to reverse the effect. | F | 21 | 10 days | 8/5/2005 | 1 | inflamed disk in the spine | I thought I was having an allergic reaction and went to the ED. I was told to stop an antibiotic I was taking, which I did. The same symptoms appeared the next day. The side-effects of this drug were practically the same as an allergy: I have hives, sweating, fluid retention, headache, itching, rash, fluid retention and swelling. | My back feels great, and I am grateful for that. But I am going to stop taking this medication until I can see my doctor again. | F | 50 | 3 days | 5/20/2005 | 4 | JOINT INFLAMMATION | Dizziness / vertigo | I'm a runner who found relafen helped with joint pain. Bextra seemed to help but not as much and was more expensive. The dizziness I sometimes have with Relafen seems to be related to dosage. Just had a very weird vertigo-like episode that I plan to see the doctor about. | M | 51 | 3 years | 10/3/2004 | 4 | JOINT INFLAMMATION | Dizziness / vertigo | I'm a runner who found relafen helped with joint pain.

I seem to bruise easier, too. | Wow. I felt energetic for the first time in I don't know when. I think I have had sle for several years, but was only recently diagnosed. The fatigue, more than any soreness or pain was the worst. Relafen is supposed to have less of a chance of liver and kidney damage than some of the other NSAIDS. | F | 38 | 3 months | 5/18/2004 |
