“I decided I could die for free, without spending another dollar on doctors,”
Interesting sentence. Logical. Pharma and docs are so financially benefitting from our pain. I am on Meloxicam for pain, hoping to stave off another hip replacement a little longer, but only take it sporadically. I can’t imagine what people with much worse pain deal with day-to-day living.
Meloxicam is great for my arthritis. However because several previous blood workups showed some decreased kidney function probably because of my HPB (although my last work up was normal in all respects) I’m not allowed by my doctor to take more than 1 - 2 per week. But I find that even if I only take one a week, the pain in my arthritic foot and in my knees is greatly reduced for the entire week between doses.
