Generic Name: Celebrex for Spondyloarthritis ()
"I relied on Celebrex for 5 years for inflammation relief. Took 200mg daily sometimes 400mg. Naturally, it’s important to protect your stomach lining. Cimetidine did this job fine. Right now I’m on a break from Celebrex. My rheumatologist is seeing lots of petechiae due to chronic use. Even at 100mg a day. It does thin the blood. After 7 days of stopping the petechiae has faded dramatically there is no new bruising on my body anywhere at all. Something I’ve become used to seeing. I don’t have a crushing headache every day, a side effect worth the joint pain relief. But, I’m in pain without it. I’m taking 1-5mg of prednisone for now. Keeps me awake but it’s nice to see my arms and hands look normal. Petechiae is strange. It’s red. Usually, one medium spot with a whole bunch of little spots sprinkled around it. They take forever to go away and come back quickly. Makes me look OLD. I still recommend this drug as needed but maybe not every day."
