Advice & Tips
The doctor started me out on a low dose and each week I saw him to evaluate it's efficacy. Each week he had to increase it until I get to the max dose (4 wks). Then I was in so much abdominal, stomach pain (indigestion) that I was close to having to go to the hospital. The Dr. immediately reduced the amt to almost original for only a week and then all the way off of it. He then put me on diflunisol (dolobid) and I got immediate and lasting relief.
