MrsD,

I know we have had the Cox-2 advice from you before, and I would love to come off it. But in my self-imposed annual meds break (Arcoxia first) my joints became ridiculously inflamed, and my neck was so bad I became even more nauseated. I have tried swapping to a Cox-1 in the past with the same result.

Taking Arcoxia means I am permanently on Lansoprazole to protect my stomach as I have had bleeding and perforated ulcers in the past. Without it I could stop, or at least cut down.

Regarding the Tramadol/Morphine. I do not have the problems of tolerance or physical/psychological dependence. Probably because of my other meds?

Dave.
