I had a reply from Kiwi that she was told that Feldene was a drug we were not supposed to take. Does anyone know why? My dr. has me taking it along with Plaquenil, although I have stopped taking it the past couple of days because when I looked up side effects, water retention was on the list. I have been having a terrible problem with that so thought I would eliminate Feldene and see if it makes a difference. I think it has, at least I can get my rings on again.

Got the book out, it is known to bring on Drug induced Lups.

My rheumy is also wanting to put me on Feldene.
I haven't started it yet.
The last thing I need is more swelling!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Are you sure about that Rosemary ? Isn't it just one of many NSAIDs ?

Hi

I've moved this post to the medication Forum - more likely to get responses there.
