Alright. So it's established that I get dizzy on NSAIDs. My PCP uped me to 15mg of Mobic the other day - to "tide me over" until I see the RD in April. Today is day three, and I CANNOT shake the dizziness. I've had to stop and hold onto the wall ALLLL day. It's getting really flippin old. What should I do? My PCP has already told me that mobic is *the* only drug she feels comfortable giving me, until I see the RD. I think I scare her because I haven't seen a doc in 5 years - so WHO KNOWS what kind of shape my body is in. *sigh* How much dizziness is worth the LITTLE swelling relief I've gotten???? I took pics of my hand yesterday, if/when I remember, I'll be sure to post them, so you can see why I'm so grumpy about all of this. Thanks for listening!!!
katie- sorry what is mobic? is that like prednisone?

It's a NSAID. (like ibu and the likes)Call her back and ask for something else. Tell her you are in pain. You cannot continue to take something that makes you that dizzy.Maybe try celebrex? That kinda worked for me for a while until I kept having pains in my right side, I think it was making my liver hurt.
LMAO I luv you joonie. I'm sorry but all I could picture was you rolling around holding your side and going "MY LIVER!! OH MY LIVER HURTS!" It was absurd in my head.......hahaha I heart you!
