Drugs For Rheumatoid Arthritis
flu-like symptons, of aching all over; Rheumatoid Arthritis OR statin drug use; read on.?
my Mom aches as i mentioned above, if she goes too long without taking ibuprofen (she takes two-200 mg. daily and one 325 mg. of aspirin dailey, later as blood thinner and the ipuprofen for her rheumatoid arthritis –which she does NOT have badly for 3 yrs. now;
she took methroxate ? (spelling ?) 3 yrs ago for only 7 wks. & she just stopped going to her Rheumatologist. She’s been on statin, Zocor, 1 mo. for high cholesterol; I wonder if her aching is caused by Statins; she seems to be weaker & tire more easily too, since she’s been on Zocor, but it’s hard to tell What causes What! Are there certain tests her Doc can do -to see if the Zocor is causing the aching all-over. She only takes the aspirin and ibuprophen ONCE daily in dosage i mentioned above, but if she takes them a few hrs LATER than usual, the aching returns.
Can her rheumatoid arthritis cause tHAT TYPE OF aching, even tho her hands, etc, are not in pain–as they were a few yrs ago.
thanks; Mom, 57 onThanksgiving.
Well, you are right on the mark with the Statin drugs. I hate them. You are probably right about them making her feel so bad. Rheumatoid Arthritis wouldn’t all of a sudden do that unless she also developed a secondary Reactive Arthritis with it. You should go with her and discuss this with the Rheumatologist and ask about the non-statin drugs available for the cholesterol.
Oh, and 81 mg aspirin is normal for keeping platelets slippery.. 325 a day is extreme unless her doctor ordered that.
And one more thing, Ibuprofen and Aspirin together can be a problem – bring this all up with you doctor:
