I've found I can tolerate meloxicam, a prescrip NSAID, on occasion. My doc recommended it as it's much gentler on the system than most others in that class.
I just can't see someone going through a course of pred over a migraine (and I get those several times a month).

OK, I will break my rule too
I start bleeding in less than 2 hours of taking Ibuprofen or Neproxen. I am currently using Nabumetone 750mg but it isn't as good as Ibuprofen or Neproxen. My neuro wanted me to give a try to Celebrex but I can't afford it so Nabumetone instead. Gave Dolgic Plus a try, useless.
I will ask for Meloxicam Rx. I wonder what is your dose and the indication?
Plus, I have to mention something that I should have said in the first post.
Last year, I had kidney stone. Now I am not too sure if it was because of ulcerative colitis or Topamax 125mg that I was taking about 8 months prior to that. Magnesium seems to be watched for folks with kidney issues. I don't know how in my case, so if anyone has any experience on it, a comment is welcome.
