Medical leave issues

[Etnt]

It is a side effect of Diclofenac.

 

I find Naproxen not as strong as Diclofenac. Diclofenac, within an hour, relieve can be felt. Naproxen takes 2 or more hours to have the same effect. Also Diclofenac can last up to 48hrs while Naproxen last roughly less that 48hrs.

 

But now they know the effect of Diclofenac on me, so cannot use it liao. Remember, i am using it on a regular basis, 3 to 4 times a week and if pain comes, 2 times a day. 400 pills per prescription is normal for me.

 

And Diclofenac is cheaper than Naproxen.

arcoxia is even stronger. Was taking it daily for several years, dunno what damage it has done.

I only take Acroxia for my vertigo. It is very strong.

 

From my AS group discussion, i realised that some of them are using it on a regular basis. It causes them to be lethargic and weak. So they advise to stay off this drug.

My Medical term also dunno doctor classify as RAI but dunno what term?

 

Currently I'm on humira twice a month and sulfasalazine, Prednisolone, and some mtx

 

Was on acroxia before this humira injection

Adrianli, you sure it's vertigo and not something like Labyrinthitis ot BPPV.

 

I use the Epley manoevre I think it's called when I get these things.

Clears it up straight away.

 

I think it is the Epley and not  something similar but it is easy quick and fast.

[Kusje]

Thatz why it is good to visit the same hosipital where all the records are kept so the Specialist can talk and discuss with each other for the appropriate care given.

 

don't all the govt hospitals and polyclinic share the records these days already?

I think doctor usually like to give you medicine rather than do those treatment to treat ear related problem de. Unless you have meet a good doctor which can give you accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Nope. Confirmed by my regular doctor. I have meniere's disease that causes my vertigo. If i spin round and round or watch first player game, sure to vomit and headache.

[Adrianli]

I dont think so. Only share some but not all. Like xray and blood test, got share. Prescription no share.

[Jamesc]

Just runny nose, feverish and insufficient sleep due to WC.

I actually experienced  vertigo once over a couple of days. woke up and fell back onto the bed. really like drowning. somehow cannot get the bearing right. i stay calm and wait. then again when i went to cut my hair. after washing, couldn't stand up for 1 minute.

 

i thought this time die liao even walking in big open space, i like no balance. then it seems to stop and I even try playing badminton looking up up and down. hey, symptoms gone for more than a year. anyone know why?
