I have many intolerance's so my issue may be different than others. Meloxicam made me very ill..caused panic/anxiety attacks, severe pain just under my ribs, vomiting, and I even passed out. I stopped the med that day and this was only 4 days into using it. I was sick every 2 or 3 days for 2 to 3 weeks afterwards and am just beginning to get over it. My rheumy still wants me to try other meds and I refused. I had to go back on Celexa for the panic, I just can't seem to overcome them now. I, like Mrs. D do ok with Aleve and told him I will use it.
I was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
