How to Monitor Illness Progression and Explore Treatment Options

I have tried meloxicam or tripoline and one other that I believe begins with an n and all of them have caused swelling. The pain is so bad that I'm literally not sleeping good at all. Although I will say that the stress has been pretty bad lately. I have been trying lots of self-care.

My dr put me on low dose naltrexone and Meloxicam. They do ok. Stress causes my flare ups so I try to take walks in the park, read a good book, relax with my cats (cuddle time), listen to music.

When my fingers and toes start to ache and the brain fog gets worse which leads to depression are signs I’m having a flare up. Lately it’s been more often than not due to stress of a new job.
